66 Dart Owners thread

Hey Toolmanmike I have a 66 Dart GT convert that I've been working on for the last 13 years. I got pictures to show but still learning how, not very good with this computer stuff. It's a 340 4 speed and I had it painted 2 years ago Viper silver. I think the body shop used spandox paint. New top and interior is almost done. The last 2 years I've been driving the Dart out to Ohio to the Mopar Nationals, me and 1 or 2 friends caravan out there with friends we have in PA.[Hey anyone out there with a 66 dart wagon 4 sale 273 auto, /QUOTE]
Welcome! You'll catch on how to do photos here. the trickiest part is if your shots are too large and have to be reduced. Sounds like you have a great combination. I have a lot of fun with my 273 and I can't imagine what trouble I'd get into with a healthy 340. LOL I may catch you at the Nats. I have made the trip for the last few years. I hosted a Meet and Greet a few years ago and met a buch of fine FABO folks. Hemi Denny has been hosting a get together for us at his large tent across from the staging lanes and is a great place to meet. Hope to see you there.

Is there anyone running Hooker 5204 headers on their 66 Dart??

I looked up the headers and the application is pretty sketchy for early A's. They have early A Valiants but not Darts listed. Hopefully someone will chime in with the correct answer. tmm

Our work in progress, working on wiring now, front end is done with disc, 8.75 rear end waiting in the wings, along with passenger side floor pan, kinda rat roddie but we love er. Paint job complements of my house painter wife and Dunn Edwards house paint over an oil base primer both rolled on. I cut my teeth on body work and welding were i removed trim and trunk pannel. My hat is off to everyone here doing insane work on the coolest cars, Jeff N Terri

Jeff and Terri. Welcome! Love your 66 and I'm with you on the work in progress. Mine has been that way for many years now but as long as you move forward and enjoy it along the way, it doesn't have to be a show car to be able to enjoy it. Glad to hear you wife is in on the project too. That's good to hear. Keep up the good work and keep those progress photos comin'. tmm I have a "rat rod" too! lol
