Well, I've come up with the plan for the Dart. Mine's a '68 but I used a '69 as a model. Mine will have the '68 bumble-bee stripe. I like 1. best, body colour hood and no hubs. Comments, suggestions?

Here's what I started with..

I vote for #2, I like the body colored hood best but you gotta have the hub caps man!!!!!........ :toothy7: They dress the car up! Either way, its your car!..Have fun and do what you like. Your the one that has to drive it!
 
I'm kinda partial to the original yellow, but #1 with #3's hood is where I'd vote.
 
I gotta go with #4:

-Blackout hood
-Side stripe instead of bumble-bee
-Some nice shiny wheels to get everyone's attention

If you got it, flaunt it!
 
It can be a stock looking 340 car with a Hemi scoop.....thats how much of a sleeper it can be. LoL ! Ron
 
The picture of the red one is as it sits now. Bubbles are starting to pop up and it's starting to get the typical A-body rust on the quarters. What I'm going for is an A12 look. I bought black powdercoated 15 x 7 cop wheels and MINT '68 caps lastnight. :toothy7:

Anyways, I have a couple Q's..

What does the side-stripe look like? Does it run somewhere around where the 270 trim is now?

What is the biggest tire I can clear stock and by moving the springs in?

Mopar did a real dark forest green in the 60`s that would look great on your car. Then paint the black part of your 270 trim the color of your car now.
 
I think you are should stay with the pale yellow - completely factory stock look with the dog dishes.

To the Mopar purists, the factory original looks are very hard to top.

Also, if you want a sleeper / wolf in sheeps clothing / the factory stock look makes that most possible.

When you start adding a huge hood scoop, while that adds a very purposeful look, you give away any chance of surprising anybody with the performance!

Remember, Teddy Roosevelt's famous words, by which all us Moparites live by

"Speak Softly ... BUT ... CARRY A BIG STICK (or a Mopar MILL!)..!"

Keep it stock looking, like an original 1969 340 Swinger in that pale yellow!

Killer!
 
The pale yellow '69 isn't mine. I just used it as a model. Mine is a '68 and is in my sig. It's nowhere near a numbers car and never will be.


I basically want to build an A12 Dart as though Dodge would have. Using a Hemi hood instead of the Six-pack hood..

I like the blacked out hood treatment, it realy sets it off. I always dug the dog dishes... course I had a '72 Duster I ran around with just sporting the black steelies ( I didn't want to loose the full hubcaps and thought it looked better without them.
Bottom line: It's a Mopar, it's going to look good.
