Ha, been working alot of OT, no holidays for me cuz i worked them. no time for dart at the moment. Thats ok though, body work can wait, saving up money for hemi and all that mess.

Well that is one way to end the weekend of working on the car, grinder decided to die, took it apart and the rotor has metal chunks missing, so its shot. Good news, finished all the passenger side drip rail shave, except the A pillar and then finish grinding, I need an aircompressor so i can use...

That is a good point....hmm

Made some progress on the drip rails. Got a good portion of the new metal in, did a crap ton of plug welds. All pentrated great on inside. Started to get some of the pieces that need curves and what not done to them, made today as well.

Killing time today, looking at this ISIS system for rewiring my car. Know that I got my head around the idea, I like it. I think I am gonna go with that. Would be kinda cool to have that modernization. Rest of car is gonna be modified, why worry about keeping stocking looking/functioning electrical.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared myself, but I've figured most of it out. I think it will turn out good. Just with those few test pieces, the glass and seal fit really tight.

AH, badart...ive read alot on him. thanks

U got an exact user name for "john" ink? I am interested in getting J bars..

Ok, cool. Made some progress, least how things will look. I took a 1"x1" square tube. Cut one of the cornes, and split the tube. ended up with a 1"x3/16" "L". 3/16" is the spacing on the chrome lip that holds the weather stripping. I then took the orignal weather stripping strip, split it down...

Cutting drip rails off this weekend, while I wait to save up for cash for hemi. I have another thread about the drip rails (not exactly sure what the protocal or etiquette is when you have a rebuild post..and do side posts for information). Anyway, here is a few pics of the drip rails. I am...

thank you for clarifying. I know I love how those wheels tuck up under, I wanna do that on mine too. I think im gonna go with hemidenny over alterk then. Looks like its a damn good product.

coming together great cody, few questions for ya. On the fender that you modified, what exactly did you do it? looks like you made some releif cuts and welded in a curved bar? Im assuming this you enlarged the fender/wheel arch? second, on your hemidenny kit (just emailed him about one), i...

Two door hard top

Well may be getting rid of the dart. My parents are getting older in years, we inhertied 3 cameo trucks and a 55 belair when my grandpa pasted away years ago. parents are getting to point they want to declutter, get rid of things... its been proposed that perhaps I could get the belair.. and im...

Well just an update. Hemi has been put on hold, all the money needed to get the computer and wiring. So I decided to take off the heads, see if it spins, it does. Push rods are all straight, gotta assume the ticking noise is in the valve train itself. In mean time I decides to drop...

Hemi dry fit, VERY VERY DRY FIT..haha. yikes what did i just myself into?

So I haven't done any mock up or even put the engine in the bay yet. However, reading posts all over the net, I see that the PWS gearbox would get in way of exhaust and manual gearbox barely clears. Crazy thought, but why not just raise the engine? I don't care if I gotta have a hood scoop, but...

Figured I would take a few pics before I went to work..enjoy.

Well it's official, it's got a hemi. Picked up a 2005 hemi 5.7 outta a ram. Only boost me $200, guy said it ran when he pulled it from the truck, just had a tick when idling. So I think I got a steal. Now just gotta get a computer and harness, and everything else.

well I got a reply from 5.7 hemi, and he let me know I could in fact sit the car on the ground with out the shocks...so I did. And well, look for yourself....

Got the suspension put in today, hope I did it right. OK. So here is what I ended up doing, trying to follow the great advice of Snake ( I think i ran him off with my ignorance in a post on the forum..sorry bud). I undid the upper control arm, let the LCA hang. The LCA pivot arm bolt was...

Working with the woman tonight on the car. I'm telling ya, she gots no problem digging in and getting dirty, we have put the K member back in and power steering gearbox. I hurt my back last week, and she has been lugging them around with no comlaints. She starts auto school i August....I think...

Also, what is the proper procedure to put the steering coupler on the shaft and connect to gear box? With the engine in the car the first time I did this I had issues, as teh gear box splines were jb welded to the coupler (half assed attempt by previous owner...new gearbox now) So i had to...

Gonna redo this bushing tonight in my LCA, hopefully correct this time. Had a question, when i start reassembling the suspension parts, what do i need to grease? all the joints have zergs, i get that part needs greasing..but like do any of the bolts need greasing? any of the splined shafts on...

Anyone got any input or suggestion?

FYI, the very top picture, the HIGHest collar by my hand is actualy the waster, not the pivot arm collar, which is on the bottom

I have a question about these bushings i pressed into my LCAs Both are solid on the outer shell, i cannot press anymore. HOWEVER one of the piviot arms "collar" above the bushing is only 1/4" from the inner bushing shell. the other is 3/4" from the inner shell. If you look from TB side, the...

Gonna be a while before I can post anything good. Hurt my back, DR tells me i have a bulging herniated disc. YAY...dart sits again. :(

Wow SirDan, thats pretty rough looking. Gonna get a new floorpan or make your own? Ya, darts are making a comeback, im glad. I have people stopping every weekend to look at what im doing in the garage ( my garage door faces a 3 street alley)so everyone is watching me and keeping track of...

just bought a power steering box from trudysduster , so soon as it gets here i'll throw it in and get the suspension together, still debating on putting the engine on the K (as the k is still outta the car) and bolting it all up as one unit, or just put the engine in afterwards...the engine does...
