Of all the plans, nobody has interior plans... LOL
Who needs an interior when the car cant move?!
I mean I'm installing new arm rests in my car, that counts right?
(Not directed at anyone just a joke)

Oh go faster is definitely a goal too. But my wife rode with me the other day and she says “ok, it’s time to get door panels put in this thing!” So I guess interior it is! Lol

That was my logic too! For quite awhile the only interior my Duster had was the dash and front seat... but it ran!
But once I got the floor padding, rubber floor mat and back seat in it made a HUGE difference in driving quality. Now I want even better sound deadening!

My plan is to keep on fixing minor problems (oil leak between timing cover and stud girdle, float for fuel cell sender, headlight aiming, off-idle flat spot...) and just drive it now and then until spring.
Then put on the aluminum heads that Dwayne Porter just massaged for me, and add another 75 hp or so

Not doing much as the converter and motor were gone thru prior to last season , my spare 904 is almost done and the car is going next week into a very reputable Mopar shop here in North Jersey to finally get the wiring straightened out/ or redone.

Just gonna try to make it to the track more than last year. Will be doing some carb tuning, timing adjustments, and possibly try a bigger carb to pick up a few tenths. Still have the Clutch Tamer swimming in the back of my head too!

Drive the **** out of it! Again.
I'd like to put my new bullet together and go tear up the track. Things seem to keep getting put on hold though...Family first.

For years now I have babied my Dart and drove it to the coast and back on some trips as long as 17 hours one way.
In 2020 the goal is to get a little more fun of a different kind out of it.
5.9 Magnum dressed as an LA motor, Engine Quest heads, mild cam, long tube headers, Flowmaster 40's with dual 2.5 inch exhaust, aluminum intake, Edelbrock 600, 42RH overdrive trans with a stage 2 Transgo kit.
1.03 torsion bars, subframe connected, KYB single tube gas shocks, poly bushings front and rear along with trans mount. (Motor mounts rubber)
Nitto 245/45-18 in the back and 225/45-17 in the front.
MAD bypass on the electrical, all LED lighting except for the headlights.
Original gauges replaced with white face mechanical and volt meter replacing the amp gauge.
GE Nighthawk headlights with relay kit.
I put the motor together, built the trans, painted the car and did all the mods myself over the course of 5 years while it was my daily driver for work, service calls and even grocery store runs.
The cars has had everything but the wheels and tires for a few years, so now it's time to change the way it's driven.
Just recently swapped in a 8.25 Sure Grip and 3.55 gears and rear disc brakes.
Also just recently came up with a good Eddie 750. (Thanks Roy)
I think it's time to start having more fun and breaking ****.

Edit
Now that I'm doing the 2020 small block race I have to go 14.3 at some point, lol. After that I want to go as fast as our stock 2018 Challenger R/T. Without spending a dime. Probably a 13. Should be doable with what I have laying around.

indeed.....drive it like you stole it
...maybe try an aftermarket headlight housing with HID kit in them. I have tried every bulb known to man for headlights in my truck for work and a 5000K or 6000K HID kit is by far the best brightest light.

Get the tamer...
44 votes to "get the car on the road", a complete runaway winner. Maybe we should start a thread "what I need to get the car on the road" and folks can swap parts, sell parts, give parts away, because some of these cars are just a few hours and a few parts away from hitting the road.....

It's been my experience through my work and helping people get their cars on the road that nine times out of 10 it isn't a total lack of funds or lack of Parts it's more lack of motivation.. some people say they don't have time but most of the time they seem to have plenty of time to watch TV... and a great majority of the time there's so many things that they want to get done they get themselves overwhelmed and can't get anything done... What most need is a kick in the butt....
I will say, once I get my *** out to the garage I have no problem with motivation! Just getting out there can sometimes be the trick!
