Show us your Convertible Dart's

[Mr2.4]

Just some updated pics. Finally got to take it out for a good rip on the weekend......I'm still smiling!

Man that car is badass! Is it mini tubbed? If so do you have pics?

 

[GT532]

Hey Mr2.4,

Thanks!

Yes, the Dart is mini-tubbed. I'm able to run M/T 28x12.5 comfortably as I was going for a pro-street look with a completely stock exterior and interior.

Cheers,

Mike

Man that is just plain badass! Thanks for posting pics. I was worried that it couldn't be done with the cap on the wheel housings.

KINGSANDMAN what did you use for a floating gas pedal? I want to get one for my 65 Dart as I hate the floor one

 

[trapster]

I had a gas pedal from a 69 valient in my 63 dart.

Nice car! We need some specs on that bad boy! I am hoping for the same overall look for my '68.

Just got it back down on it's wheels. darn car's been hanging around for a couple years now

both side views are before I lowered it to where I wanted it. I had to drop it 2 inches to get it where it didn't point the tail light to the sky.

I like the concept, the car, and I agree with your choice of adjective regarding your daughter.

Have fun with that bad boy!

Thanks, I am really having a blast with the car. We have been all over. This is the car at Carlisle this year. Interstate all the way (2 days) at 70 mph!

got more done on the dart. still sanding the paint to smooth out the bug's and fix a few oops's but all in all the paint's done. now to do the fiddly stuff and get the engine done and in.

 

[easyrider]

Shack Daddy, love the way your car sits. what size wheels / tires are you running?

 

[Shack Daddy]

easyrider,

I am runnin 18 x 8" up front with 225-40-18 yokahama s-drives
I have got 20 x 9.5" on the rear with 285-30-20 s-drives.
That is as big as you can get on the rear without tubs. Hope that helps !!

 

[Erix]

I'd like to throw my '64 dart gt /6 4-sp vert in the mix.

 

[jaws]

Good looking Dart, love the 4spd.

Guys,

I'm a new member to the site and really like the community thus far. Great information and a lot of knowledge.

Throwing out a couple picts of my ride! '64 Dart GT - custom paint, custom interior, everything else original (V8-273, push-button automatic, and naturally no AC - It's a convertible!!).

This was my first car when I was 16.. it was blue and rough! Father/son project originally and we painted it right before I turned 16.... 32 years later.... and I have since repainted twice. Still drives out well... very smooth... but hard to stop! Those %#@! drum brakes!

Enjoy!
