It's hard to tell... does it have rubber floors or carpet?

I filled in the spots where I cut out the "humps" that kept the bench seat at the right angle. I put some sound deadener in, welded some brackets to the seat rails, and drilled the holes to bolt the seat down. I discovered that the transmission tunnel is not centered. It is actually...

This isn't the greatest picture in the world. It doesn't show the damage very well. The 43 year old foam on the dash is cracked and has big dips in it. You can see all the way to the metal in parts. I am going to re-foam the dash. I looked around and did searches for how to re-foam a...

I just found this thread... subscribed. Where did you get the dash? Is that a Rocky Mountain dash? I thought I found all of the modern hemi transplant threads... until now.

Thank you. I appreciate feedback. It keeps me motivated. Unchartered for sure. I haven't seen anyone else do an A-body, column-shift modern hemi transplant. I am making it up as I go. The doctor did a good job. The scar is minimal. I just wish I had a better story about how I got my...

I was wondering the same thing.

I want to start wiring everything up, but I can't really start on that until I get the dashboard finished. I want to get the guages and switches in. In an earlier post, I showed where I cut the sheet metal out of the dash. That way I could just start from scratch. I bought some sheet metal...

Men are always willing to do a lot of work to add an inch... O:)

Thank you for the bump... It really does feel better knowing that people are interested.

I have good news to report. I was able to get the shift linkage AND the starter to clear the header. That's good, too. I was beginning to get discouraged. It's not easy finding information online about putting a modern hemi into a Dart with a column shift transmission. Since I don't have...

I was able to get my shifter working great... or so I thought. Below, you can see my "shift" in the rod. I had to do this when I moved the steering column over. Also, for anyone else putting TTI headers on a 5.7 hemi with the Alterktion k-frame. I discovered that you need to remove this...

That's interesting. I had to leave my Dart behind when I graduated from University of Florida and got a job in Chattanooga. (I couldn't take 2 cars) It still ran great when I gave it away to someone who really needed a car. I always missed that car, which is why I bought this one.

Wow! I didn't think to look at the number of views. I guess there are a lot of lurkers here. Sorry about my rant.

Thanks, Hemi. I am glad someone is reading it. I forgot about the Nats. Maybe that explains it.

Well... I guess no one gives a **** about this thread. I posted 10 days ago and no one commented. Oh well. I don't really care. Really, what I am trying to do is help others who might want to put a modern hemi into a 4-door, column shift, 68 Dart "sleeper". Considering the small pool of...
