building a 68 dart 440. heres some pics of where about i'm at.

 

welcome. i love the underside. it looks beautiful!

 

are you going to paint the body that green thats on your tank that would be really cool nice looking car

 

ya thats the color of the car and the hood, grille and rims are going to be black

 

rebuilt, steel crank forged pistons, roller rockers+cam

 

hoping for around the low to mid 400's

 

havnt been on here in a while heres some updated pics.





shaved door handles, put the cylinoid on a threaded rod instead of the metal wire cause that always stretches


painting the rear bezels to match the paint

mock up of the engine set up



started sanding the intakes to be polished

primored engine bay, close to paint

 

WOW
i like that green
best of luck

 

Looking good, I think it'll look real sweet.

 

it really shows that you have been taking your time and pay close attention to detail!

It looks GREAT!

 

Wow Joe that looks awsome so far , keep up the great details and let us see some more Kewl looking color

 

when did the 440 get cross ram manidolds?

 

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

 

I love the dash man, how difficult was that to fab up and what gauge metal did you use??

 

hey Joe, thats gonna be 1 baad ride. i love the cross ram set up. sweeet.

 

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.

 

what r u gonna do to the motor?

 

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

 

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.

 

air filters came in today

 

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.

 

Looking good Joe.

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

I'm 17. Getting ready for my bigblock!

 

ill be 19 in january

 

Ah. Little bit older then me.

I just turned 17 this past July.

Will you be racing your Dart?

 

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

 

thanks, paint date is december 5th ill be sure to have pics

 

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

 

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.
