    Time for new tires and rims for the 68 Dart

    The same tires and rims are on the car since I bought it in 2012. Fronts are 15 x 6 w/ 4.0 back space steelies shod with 205/60-15 BFG. Rears are 15 x 7 w/ 4.25 back space steelies on 245/60-15 BFG. The tires are embarrassingly old and as much as I dig the steelies, I've (pretty much) decided...

    Shoulder belt attachment on 68 post Dart

    The weekend started out just swapping the bucket seats (non-Mopar) for a pair of Procar 90's. One thing led to another and now since the seats are out it would be a good time to upgrade from lap belts to 3 pt shoulder belts. Where would the shoulder belt attachment point be on a post car?

    Swapping pigs

    This weekend I'm swapping the 3.55 SG from the Dart into the Coronet. Both are 489 cases. The 'Net's 3.23's don't work with the Hughes cam and Dynamic high stall converter. And with the Tremec 5 spd the Dart needs steeper gears so I'm having a shop swap out the 3.23's for a 4.10/4.11 set...

    Long time lurker, recent owner

    I've been a Mopar guy since I was a kid, grew up watching S & M in pro stock, Richard Petty, etc. And even though I really liked the A and E bodies, B bodies were my favorites; my first car was a '69 Charger R/T, SE. Owned it for twelve years until I sold it in 1990 while waiting for my first...
