2x

 

took it for its first real ride to the gas stationg, everything ran good till i got on my street and stopped to talk to the nieghbor. started back up then went to shift and it wouldnt shift. the tranny cable melted in between the header and starter so it lost the tension for the actual cable to shift it. so got some more work to do should be all set by the end of the week and it was running hot so gotta get that figured out to. and wheels will be in monday finally

 

I am pretty new to this site and have been watching the progress of this amazing car, I totally agree this is the inspiration of so many mopar nuts to have a ride even half as creative and well put together. I believe you said you were from springfild, will this car {you} be going to the worcester nationals? on july 4

 

got rears almost ready to go on, waiting for some 1/8 inch spacers

 

hope it was worth the wait man

 

sure was, i love them! but its only been half the wait. got another 6 weeks till the fronts come in, and i had to get them in 18's
17s wouldnt fit, were hitting the upper a's and tie rod end double

 

that sucks man
it'll still look great with 18's

 

Totally insane build mate - love the lines, style, final fitout - just all good!! I'm about a year behind you with a similar build in New Zealand. just dumped some pics of the painted car on my album and the members rides section. have shaved the car fully as per yours, but flipped and mounted a rear bumper up front and colour coded the bumpers to match the car. also welded up the bumper bolts from the rear and ground the tops of so fully cleam bumper lines!!Hoping to have it started in the next 2-4 weeks , but will be 6-9 months till she'd on the road! keep loading up pics of your beast mate!! Is making everyones day following the progress!!!cheers cam

 

man i am isanely jealous of your ride!!! and i wish i had the money to paint mine right now but shes pretty on the inside LOL..... but my fury has much to be done on the exterior

 

any updates Joe?

 

well the rears are on and its driving good, took it to a few shows and got some real nice compliments from people. its going to get wet sanded and buffed next week so she'll really be shining. ill get some pics when its done

Great job, i can only dream and wish too, you should give yourself a real pat on the back for such a beautiful job, its great we have young guys like yourself with such talent, keep it up and thankyou for such good pictures and man you have got talent, all the best to you.

 

what are the style of rims called and what did they run you ?? plz pm me with price and style

 

wow your dart is real sweet looking so far . i love that paint color . whats that called ? or a code number if you don't mind . & i love the cross ram manifold . does anybody make them new these days ?

 

hey guys! thanks for the good words. sorry i havnt been on in a while, ive been working on my new project alot and been on other forums trying to get some info for it.

mopar nate - the wheels are centerline lazers and i personally will never order from them again after the hell they put me through trying to get them, the story is to long for my typing patience haha.

deadkelly - the paint is from shirwin williams auto paint out of there hot rod color booklet, the code is U7-59378 OO (G). and im about %100 no one remakes those manifolds anymore. from the time ive started the car ive seen two sets for sale around my area that were asking rediculous prices.

updates, the front wheels finally came in last month and i got them on the car now. i have no pics of the car with all the wheels on cause its tucked away in a cellar for winter. it ran great all year, just gets hot on a really hot day, i got some changes i want to make when i get it out of storage in spring, one is getting the exhaust redone because i absolutely hate how it hangs down so much. heres some pics of it back in summer. (im no photographer and either is my walmart digital camera haha)

 

I love it Joe! It looks killer!

 

wow that car puts my dart to shameeeeeee I really love that earlier style dart looks like a baby roadrunner I hope my car looks half as good when it gets back from paint

 

the car looks so mean

 

thanks guys. im dieing for spring to come. ill have to post up the season burn out opener haha

 

what kind of intake is that? do they make one for a small block?

 

its a 413 long tube cross ram, they wouldnt fit a small block and no one remakes them

 

man that stinks it looks way cool very nice car joe

 

Joe, it looks great. You really done good

 

thanks guys, took the car outta winter storage this weekend. heres a crappy cell pic with all the wheels on finally!!!

 

how does the car run?

 

runs great probably gonna put it back on the road in april, wanna get some stuff done to it and i gotta wait till my other project is outta the garage
