68 dart 440

[1971CHEVELLE]

looks very good in black

They look sweet , they did a nice job on them.

waiting on headers bolts to put the intakes on cause its a lot easier with the intakes off to get to them

[claytonisbob]

I could go either way on the intake being black vs brushed. But, for a car your going to drive, black will look good longer. Very different though thats for sure (in a very good way).

I wouldn't mistake it for say, a RPM Air Gap ;)

I am really glad to see a fellow mopar owner building some thing really cool.
I am getting my 68 charger built as we speak. Long ram 440 wow!! You are going to have a ton of bottom torgue with that engine.

Cant wait to see it done.

SHES ALIVE!!! The videos should work, kinda crappy quality though with the walmart digi

Well looking at your pics and reading your updates I would say you are pretty much past what Wyotech would teach you. I would know I graduated in 2001 in Laramie. Its a good school for "the basics" and I would say you learned those a while ago. Keep up the good work hope my nova starts looking that good. Oh and I would go with all black wheels!

[joe440]

thanks, and ya wyotech got cancelled(idk if i already said that). and the wheels are all black, id have pics if i ever get them

[joe440]

got the car home from interior

[hechtrod]

ya i think they're going to be black, and the interior is also going to be black with black suede inserts, i was going to do a tan but it would of cost way to much.
this was done by a fellow member on here, looks awsome i even like the rims, i believe there volk te37's which are big$, my rims wont be that big though around 18's back, 17's front, dam a body mopars cant fit nothing big under there

Rota makes a knock off in as wide as 18x9.5. I love this look, those are one of my favorite wheels. It looks so rad!
Here's the roat wheel link:

Not too bad at $950/set. Much cheaper than real Volks.

Here's a pic from the link too.

This build is

I gotta read the rest of the pages. Hopefully I'm not duplicating by posting these rotas.

Edit again: I've never seen an intake setup like that. So unique and cool. So, do those long runners make killer torque? Wow on the whole build! Can't wait to see what wheels you went with!

thanks, and thats an awsome price on those wheels. although i already ordered the centerline lazers in all satin black. i ordered them april 6th and still havnt got my rims. its been a battle with those guys trying to get info on what the deal is but i can assure you after these wheels i will never order from them again

[joe440]

well got the interior about 90% done still gotta put the door sills in and waiting for the kick pannels

[joe440]

[joe440]

once i get the actual rims on the car will sit a lot better and lower.
i will never order from centerline again

[Motown 454]

[joe440]

I'd have to agree with that...

[poormans69]

If the filters were lower and there were mopar scoops covering them that would be the cats a$$

I agree... Maybe, something like this:







Here's an example of the Year One scoops they sell:
