2DR. No post behind doors. I'm out there shooting and it's hotter than the gates of ****. Can someone guide me as to how I post pics? My camera is filling up. Halfway through the garage. Haven't got to the loft yet. What's the protocol on who I sell to? Don't want to short anyone. Would like to...

I got a little ahead of myself. All of this was kind of an afterthought while cleaning my garage but I'll go as fast as I can. It's mid 90's right now and all the big stuff is in my barn loft so add another 50 degrees. I'll have to haul it down and photo. Obviously all the new stuff looks new...

This is my first ad so I hope I do it right. I have very nice original grill, hood, doors, front fenders, steering wheel and button (no cracks), glass, trunk trim, most everything under dash from AC car, black cloth bench seats (need redone but not broke down), driveshaft for 6cyl/at and I think...

I didn't post any photos because everyone knows what a stripped down unibody up on the rotisserie looks like. If anyone happens to be looking for a 68 Dart that they wanted to do a full ground-up build just the way they want this would be a perfect start.

I am going to sell my project. It is not for the faint of heart. Currently a unibody shell on the rotisseire (included). $3500 worth of parts. Frame connectors and new full floor installed. Not installed: new full quarters, full trunk and extensions, rear frame x-member and extensions, tank...

I've heard that fast vs faster basically comes down to power to weight ratio. By power I mean power to the ground in whatever package is used to do it. It seems logical to me that the more radical you go with an engine the reliability curve goes down somewhat. Not always and maybe not...

Well, I guess I kinda sorta got an answer on something. This is my very first build at age 54. Hoping to pick some experienced brains in reference to a fairly specific package. 68 Dart. 3:23 to 3:55 gear. Once or twice a year I will take it to Pay-n-Play night a IRP. Not a daily driver just an...

Pick up an inexpensive "contour" gage at a hardware or lumber store. You'll have to measure in short 6 inch sections but it will be a perfect fit.

My bad. I'm primarily interested in the trans portion of the swap. The engine swap seems pretty straightforward. Thank you.

If you have or know of a 67-69 Dart that is totally trashed and ready for the torch I need an oddball part. The squarish structure to which the left rear tail light assembly is screwed. Mine was hit right on the corner and crunched the 1/4 panel and this piece. I have the panel. I don't know if...

In a perfect world here's what I would like to buy: A complete rear end for a 68 Dart A-body. 8 3/4, 489 or 742 case, clutch-type sure grip, 3.2 to 3.7 ratio, recut c-body axles with LBP, drum to drum. If I can't buy what I want I'll buy as close as possible and complete it myself. I'm not rich...

Does anyone have any experience with or know a guy who knows a guy in reference to the Indy-made 415 CI small block? I like the small inch weight and big inch power and around $7500 the price doesn't seem too bad for what they advertise. Opinions?

I know it's probably one of the most-addressed subjects but could someone steer me to a few of the most complete, comprehensive, authorative and knowledgable sites, forums, articles, etc on converting a 68 Dart 6 cyl, AT to small V8, 4 speed. All the details from pedals to trans including...

Need a little guidance from some who have "been there, done that". I have removed the entire floorpan from the dart. I welded supports in both doors and crossbraced in the rear seat area. Jackstands just ahead of trans X-member and frame under rear seat area. No glass, drivetrain, front or rear...

If I'm not mistaken one of the fiberglass sites (AAR?) has a list of the weight of the FG bumper and the savings in lbs. It sounds like you're wanting to package it. If you don't get a reply soon I'll dig mine out of the barn loft and measure it.
