Hello all!! I own Morris' Mopars LLC in Raymond Illinois. A couple years ago we decided to get our 1969 Dart out of storage and start the restoration/build process. I have owned this car for currently 34 years (my dad bought it for me when I was 12). We are building this car to show clients what we can do and give them different ideas when building their Mopar. We are currently building a 68 RR, 71RR, 72 Demon along with my Dart. Ill try to keep updating pics as we progress.
We have a 6.4 engine with a FRP cam, mds delete and phaser lock out. Holley mid mount, oil pan and dipstick. Using the 8hp automatic transmission. Carl Gerst is my business partner, so we are using his suspension on front and rear. We are an AMD dealer so all their sheet metal was used. Widened the rear tubs but still kept the back seat. Transmission tunnel and cross member was custom made. We cut and tucked the front and rear bumpers, hand made a chin spoiler, and made a custom firewall. Using a Glasstek bolt on hood with a 4" sunoco scoop. Its coming together nicely. All of the progress can be seen here on our fb page if interested.

Beautiful work. Great details. The bumper tuck is first class. Also like the top of the radiator support. Looks like a high end build. Customers will appreciate your work!!!
 
Amazing build.
Looking forward to the progress pics.
Whats the specs on the wheel and of course let's see more pics please.

We are thinking 18x12 out back and 18x8 up front. We are a Schott dealer so something from them. Still undecided on style.
 
That looks amazing. I would love to find someone in Calgary that could do work like that to my 67 GT conv. I'll be keeping an eye on this one for progress!!
 
That is usually up to the client. But no issues in the past. Right now we are around 2 years out before we take on another restoration/build.

How do you plan to re-establish the strength of the torsion bar frame pieces now that you have separated them. I am curious because this is also a question to be resolve when installing a 4 speed OD Torqueflite (A500 etc). Looking for new ideas...
 
Hey Chris! This is Brian from KC, I bought 3/4 of a four speed from you a couple years ago. Nice work! I'll be following along.
 
How would you feel about fabbing up some pieces and sending them to me, like the radiator support cover for instance?
