joe440 10-13-2008 06:46 PM

it didn't, they only came on the 413 but they fit the 440

plymouthrr1985 10-13-2008 06:57 PM

thanks, its 16 gauge, and it wasn't too difficult to fab it up mostly square peices of the sheet metal welded into the angle thats already there. then rounded and smoothened the edges with a little bondo.

67 GTX 10-14-2008 03:01 PM

what r u gonna do to the motor?

joe440 10-14-2008 03:40 PM

30over, forged pistons, roller rockers, roller cam, steel crank, stock heads (for now), 500 cfm carbs

joe440 10-27-2008 11:41 AM

little update. car is out to final body work and paint finally. I've been slackin with getting the intakes done, but the carbs came in and we had to make all the linkage. so got it all made and pretty much what its going to be.

We got our other dart in the garage and started working on the center council, its gonna be fiberglass then painted the color of the car with the speakers on each side. Man is it nice working on the inside of a car when its convertible. Heres the first steps.

challenger 11-22-2008 12:29 PM

Sweet looking darts guys and Joe make sure you let us see the pic's of the dart when you get her back from paint and blue 68 thats a sweet looking color on your dart :D

joe440 11-22-2008 11:14 PM

67 GTX 11-23-2008 07:58 AM

Once you paint it, with that green, the car will look great!:D

joe440 11-23-2008 12:44 PM

thanks, i was over looking at it yesterday, its coming out great. Its got real nice crisp lines that will really show off the beautiful lines that the darts have. Heres a few pics of the council, we switched up the front cause the round look just wasn't looking good. Also added an arm rest/storage compartment.
