1967 Dodge dart

Grimmey71 I'm going to go supercharged, I'm already building a single turbo mustang. I want this car to be a light to light car the plan down the road when the supercharger is installed is to put in a 5spd and the ford 8.8 with 4.10 gears. I plan on this car at least running 12's when all finished but who knows might be faster.

Ben I'm hoping on a sinister look. It gets lots of compliments right now. So i can only imagine the compliments it will get when its done. It's very low buck as I only have 3500 in it including buying the car.

The car looks great btw. I sold my valiant 2 years ago as I had too many projects going on at once. I wanted to do a green brick style http://www.moparaction.com/tech/arch...e-lap-pix.html
turbo slant but looks like your well on your way there. Keep up the work. If I could redo my Cuda project I would go the same way you are, piece by piece while keeping it driving

Looks like you added coil-overs to your leaf springs. Any reason for this? Just a word of caution; by doing this you stiffen up the rear and it makes the car tend more towards oversteer if you don't compensate by stiffening the front as well. Depending on the rates, this could cause the car to be pretty unstable.

Sickmonte, yes I added coilovers but there not traditional coilovers the perch is at the bottom of the shock and has one in the middle, the car doesn't ride on the coil till loaded(ie, three people in the back), It's a family car and I sometimes ride around with all six of us so these help.

I love darts.
Owned the Aussie version for a while (Valiant VG Coupe)
Nice lines and have heaps of potential.
And they look tough on a good set of wheels.

Keep the pics coming. :-)

Well the darts broken down again, but I look at it this way time for more upgrades, the engine has a 3/4 came and looks like the engine builder was on a drinking day and didn't put loctite on the came bolt, so the upgrade is a Pete Jackson noisy gear drive for a big block Chevy amazing that it fits under the cover and both gears fit the only mod is you have to make a. 280 spacer so on with the pic.

Also on the mod list is a center console with shift light and a Bluetooth system being put in.will also be installing my wheels and dual 10" electric fans a pic of the center console.

Ausmarty, yeah me too this is my second one I used to own a 71 Plymouth valiant with a slant 6 all stock daily driver that I put 200,000 miles on when I was in the Marines.But I sure would love to live in Australia bad hot rods down there.

PROGRESS TIME!

lol.

Nah Australia is f***ing horrible.
We can build em.
Can't play with 'em.
:(

My next VG/VF/Dart will probably have our infamous 265 Slant Six Hemi.
350hp from 265 cubes.
Triple SU carbs.

Gonna throw 10 grand at the guys here who build them fresh and get 400+ out of a newly built one. They are a 5K motor out of the box making 350 at the fly, another 50HP shouldn't be tooooo hard for 5 more K.
haha.
Of course it will make a bit more than that, but I will keep it around 400.
It's going to be a manual again - I already have a 6 speed Getrag out of a Nissan R34 GTR.

Just need a better paying job to continue saving for the car itself.

Do you mind me asking what kind of wheels those are if you know? I would love to find a set like that for my car I have a 67 dart in progress
