70 dart 340 4speed conversion

[4404spd]

This is my sons Dart, Original 318 904 car. This winter we are doing a front suspension up grade from Kelsey Hays 4" bolt pattern to bbp discs. Engine bay restoration and 340 4 speed conversion. I got the hump and pedals in along with the bracket for the Z-bar. I will keep pictures coming as we go. Next winter we will do the body and interior over. And a Rally dash will be going in next year too.

Im not sure yet, I have ideas but my sons taste kinda off the wall. Me personally it wouldn't be white anymore.

This one looks a little easier then that last project. You gonna change the interior color?

The engine bay is all blasted, No more Air Conditioning. I cut the firewall and put in a non a/c piece. Nothing for the a/c worked and didn't want the engine bay cluttered up with the stuff and I didnt want pipes sticking through the firewall unhooked.

no problem.....are the take-off brakes for sale?

Yes, Along with a brand new power booster and master cyl. This is a California car, The parts are super nice.

 

[340sFastback]

That is some nice looking metal there...

 

[SettinTrendz]

Yea buddy! That looks super clean under there! Keep the updates comin'!

Well, We decided, Piss on it. We might as well do the whole car now and gutted it. Here is my son stripping the paint off the drivers side. A color change is in the works. Either Hemi Orange and black interior and stripe or Plum Crazy with white interior and white stripe. I want the Plum Crazy but its not my car...lol

I know your not asking opinions seeing as it IS your kids car, but yellow and black is a rather nice combo if I do say so myself.

I have the body work on the drivers side done today and in Epoxy primer. I will get pictures of it in primer.

 

[340sFastback]

That is one solid looking body there.

No rust at all, All the filler is because someone took the body side mouldings off and warped the piss out of the panels, I had a nice drivers door so I changed it. The original was all warped and in a wreck. I hope the passenger side is better, I'll find out soon enough.:burnout:

 

[Dartnut]

Solid looking body you guys have to work with.
My vote would be for the plum crazy with white interior if it were me.
Can't wait to see the other side......

Yep, Thats probably what it going to be, House Of Colors Plum, Very close to Plum crazy yet a little more modern.
