This car started off with me and it came back,You know what they say when a car comes back don't get rid of it again.. So I'am gonna build this car than the 71 Dart.. This car has the spring relocation kit with super stock springs and it has 8 3/4 with 456 gears with a spool. It has big bolt pattern with long studs. It has 15x3.5 weld drag lites on front and 15x10 weld drag lites with 28x12.50x15 M/T E/T streets. It has a way better body and its ready for paint right now.It has a wing on the deck lid. here are some pics so enjoy.

hey, i want dibs on that other dart you have. ( the white one you were going to build)
 
I haven't decided if I want to build a small block or a big block mopar. Its gonna be driven on the street and raced at the track..I still have tie the frame put new brake lines on it and run new fuel lines and I'am gonna run a 8-15 gallon fuel cell. I'am gonna add a 8pt cage with 2 racing seats with 5pt harness.
 
I ll be watching ya with this Duster. A Dart will be my next project, once I finish the Duster I am working on.
 
nice looking duster I will be watching to see what you will do to it.

Remember have fun with it. On my duster I am going with the 6.1 Hemi. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Its the factory hood with a 4" cowl induction scoop molded on..
 
Looks good. Pretty sure I've seen it on craigslist for a while. Cool that you owned it once and now own it again, wish that would happen with my dad and his old duster.
 
I will be needing a drive shaft. What length will I need 727 and 8 3/4 rear end.I think its somewhere in the 50 inch range...Thanks.
 
It won't be in the 50" range. More like the 46-48" range with a 727. Best way is to measure, but I'm sure someone has the same combo and can say for sure.
