besides the hydralics ive chrome out the motor, changed the interior to black n white (was grey) and upgraded the stereo system. also added frame connectors and aluminum isolator mounts up front to help stiffin it for the hydros
 
A LOT! and honestly i dont wanna add up all the recipets. but im pissed about the batteries. i bought em from a buddy that had em in his s-10 blazer, he said they hold a good charge, but one wont even take a charge, and one will tak a lil charge, the other too work fine. and i paid $200 for all 4 ($50 each) :banghead:

ah that sucks man! but any idea approx how much the hydro suspension cost? if you dont mind? and are those real daytons?
 
Nice work..

I am not into LowRiders, but I can see you've done some extensive modifications....and your car looks better than most of the Hacked up Regal's I see all the time around here. I bet it can burn the crap outta those little/skinnys!!!

I always wondered if a LowRider was going like 100mph and you hit the hydro's could you actually "jump"?

Thanks for not draggin a Dart on the Ground.
 
if I want to jump i,ll drive thru a ditch like Luke and Bo do :toothy10:but thats just me,to each their own.
 
thanks for all the comments

im guessin its all cost around a grand or so. but i aint done yet either. i still gotta get different mounts for the rear axle, a couple more dump valves, a slow down valve, and now a couple more batteries. found out theres no way to do this on the cheap, without stealin parts lol.

unfortantly i cant burn the tire (ya its a one wheel wounder). the motor is pretty much bone stock with the exception of the lean burn was tossed, the a/c was tossed and i put a single plane 2bbl intake on it and ran duals. plus i got a wimpy 7 1/4 and when i did burn the tire (without the extra wieght) i gernaded the original rear end, so i quit after that lol.

and i found out it sways a lot now without the front sway bar on, and it REALLY sways doin highway speeds with the *** locked up, or all locked up.
 
oh ya and there not real daytons, just cheap chinas. it was a lil over $400 for all for rims, tires,knockoffs,adaptors,and the tool. then i added about $3 of black straws to the spokes lol
 
here pics of the burnout i did that i think really did some damage to the rear end before i gurnaded it lol

i was gonna put hydros in the sport, but i got a lil somethin else planned. we got a 87 dakota from a guy at work. i told my dad if he can get the title for it, ill give him my bucket seats from my 1st dart sport (he's been buggin me about em) and IF i can get it, im gonna build a hopper out of it :D but ill still buy a set of wires for the sport.
 
right on man, its cool to see you doing something unique to it without killin it! a buddy of mine has a 64 impala with hydros and daytons, its pretty sweet, he hops it at like grocery store parking lots and stuff hahaha its all pimped out its a cool car (ya ya i know its a cheb) but hey.

and thats actually a pretty good burnout for a 7 1/4!
 
thanks mike. ya it was a pretty good burnout. it sucked though when the rear end went out in the middle of feburary at 5AM. luckily i coasted to my grandparents.

ya the 64s are nice cars when done up nicely. but im a mopar guy through n through, so i didnt wanna do the usually chebby or lincoln. i get a lot of **** though cuz its not a full frame chebby but hey, i love it and thats all that counts.

but i do got some planned for the near future hopefully. im gonna try gettin a 87 dakota off my dad, and im gonna build a hopper out of it cuz its a small truck, and its full framed lol
