the radiator needs some black paint...

 

what is your other project?

 

one of the best darts ive seen to date makes my swinger look like a car out of a junkyard

 

thanks for the compliments.
mopardrt my my dart pretty much came outta a junk yard. sure wasnt no over night project, 4 years and its still not done. you'll get your dart where you want it to be, just takes time.
67gtx- next project is 36 ford pick-up rat rod. slammed to the ground, doing an early turbo cummins, big rig dually 10lug wheels in the back, machine gun hanging out the side window and a bomb for a gas tank. should look pretty interesting haha.
heres a thread of it, just got a lot done tonight actually no pics yet

sounds like some project

 

got some shots today

 

car looks absolutely great

 

thinking about doing that stripe around the back

 

that stripe would look good
but why the "X"?

 

i was thinking maybe because it has a cross ram?

 

yup thats it, glad people get it haha

 

Very Nice!!!! You have something to be very proud of for sure!!!!!

 

thanks, hopefully gonna register it next week and get some finishing work done to it

 

Damn fine car, I like the stripe plan also, do it. It looks badass sitting still man.

 

Thats gonna be awesome when you get it done man, welcome to the forum btw. I love that green, can you get me a paint code by chance? I have been thinking about using a metallic flake green like that on my chally when I repaint it, which will hopefully be this summer.

 

Wow, just, wow. Amazing ride!

 

looks just awesome Joe. I agree, the stripe would look great

 

great looking dart....you should be proud to have a headturner like that. i own a 69 dart gt it looks nice but nothing like yours...all i can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will post pics of mine soon. again WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have always loved the Darts. I wish I have never sold mine.

 

Nice build, I wonder why I don't see more of those cross manifolds out there. seems pretty rare.

 

thanks, they are pretty rare thats why you dont see them haha

 

you have one of the better looking darts i have ever seen. you can tell you put alot of hard work into it and it shows. nice job! one question for you......not including the gauges how much would a fabricated dash like yours run? even a rough estimate i dont want to be nosey but i was thinking of doing something like that to my dart!

 

Joe, I know where you may be able to find a cummins or two. Let me know if you still need one.

 

thanks, to be honest i dont know what a shop would charge to do that. if i had to guess i'd say at least a couple hundred. then if you wanted it painted and bondo'd to round the corners probably more. i'd say print a few pics of my dash and bring them to a few places and tell them your looking for something similar and see what they give you for a price. remember you get what you pay for

 

thanks but i should be getting one this week or next. a guy is gonna sell me his running 90' cummins soon as he picks up his new truck

 

Very nice! Then you will have a complete truck to use so the swap should go very easy.Keep us posted in this thread of a new thread about the Cummins side of the project and the general tech stuff too (air bags, frame, etc).

 

ya the swap will go a lot easier with the hole truck if there is a swap. i might use the frame depending how it looks. its gonna be z-barred so i need it straight and flat. if its not i'm just gonna build one with some square tubing, shouldnt be to hard.

 

Wow... That is so awesome! I just spent like an hour or so reading the entire thread i must say that is one heck of a car. To bad they don't have a 6pack version of that cross manifold with 6 of those air cleaners sticking out like that would be crazy hahah (idk maybe not)

 

hey guys, been a while since i updated. just did an exhaust on the car. bought the summit kit and am very happy with it. only bad thing was the mufflers so i just used the ones i already had on. Im doing a lot of little things now cause in november ill be trailering the car down to florida for the month to go to a bunch of shows. Don Garlits, Turkey Run, Moparty are some of them. Maybe see some you guys down there. I also moved the water neck to the side instead of the middle so i could fit a bigger fan and put a new thermostat in and shes running much cooler. Other plans are new oil pan/pick up tube, wet sand and buff again, finish trunk. Heres a few pics and a video of how the exhaust sounds
dont mind the exhaust tips there even now
