    1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

    The reverse light bulbs they sell, while somewhat pricey, seem to shine brighter than my old OEM headlights. If you never drive at night you probably would not care, but driving home from that late evening cruise you can see again.

    1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

    Easy on the hole-shots. My 50 year old spider gears spit the bit last Friday on my first (attempted) 1/4 mile pass in my Duster. Lined up, dropped the hammer @ 3500 (315 drag radials / 4:30 gear / 4-link) and with a track prepped for John Force (extra sticky), traction was not an issue. It bit...

    1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

    I put the plug / play LED headlights and reverse light bulbs in my Duster and HemiMarks Demon. Easy / peasy....and WOW! are they bright. They plug right in to your OEM harness with zero effect on charging system. They have a relay built into the new harness that tucks easily behind the headlight...

    12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

    The mounts were designed with a small block 727 attached plus a 3/16 spacer....and the OEM transmission mount dead in the center of the crossmember. Everything was a give / take as to front / back and side / side but that is why the HDK mounts allow adjustment.....for the optimum placement for...

    Bending a sway bar

    We bend them from time to time. In a batch of 50 Helwig bars they can vary up to 1" in eye to eye and anything off more than 1/4" will get "adjusted". Fog, the HDK fab guy, uses his hydraulic tubing bender. if you never try....you may never know.

    4-bar / back half the HemiDenny / HDK way

    I agree, never been a fan of fuel in the trunk. it is fun to build something like this I always learn a few things for the next one. Right about the small brakes on the big diameter rims, but just cannot get my old school head around the 19" and 20" rims on our 60 and 70's hot rods. Guess I'm...

    A body with an A833 and a Gear Vendor installed

    Installed a GV in 2009 when this Hemi Duster was built. I would do it again, a simple toggle on the right front of the bucket seat brackets engages the overdrive for highway (over 55mph) driving. 29.75" tall rear tires / 4:30 gear / 2450 rpm @ 65mph....the sweat spot. The split shifting isn't...

    RMS rear 4 link, not symmetrical?

    Your drivetrain is offset to the passenger side so there will be more weight on the passenger side requiring more pre-load. However, lowering / raising the height on the drivers side front (torsion bar or coil over spring) will also effect the height of the passenger rear. Welcome to 4-bar 101

    1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

    Dart looks great. Been a fan of the 4-speeds for over 5 decades. Having an automatic in a hot rod like the Dart is like sex with a condom. You get there....just not as much fun.

    Auto-X / Roadrace rear suspension 1969 Valiant

    Thanks, I've done several. They are semi custom...... Competition Engineering components (from Summit) Universal rear rails, ( modified) 4-bar brackets brackets , crossmember. I do the lay-out, HDK fab guy welds it in after test fit.

    1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

    1/4" vent hose, not as thick as fuel line. and doesn't need to be because there is no pressure on it. A tension clamp is a good idea on both ends

    1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

    you might want to put a drain hose on the radiator overflow fitting and route it pointing to the the ground. If it happens to build pressure and releases, it will be spraying all over your pretty Hemi.

    1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

    glad to see you made it back A-ok. I'm sure Sean told you.....Hemis are inherently cold blooded, even with a choke (not sure if you have any?), let it warm up sufficiently. And be careful on those street tires, mashing the gas in about any gear can and likely will spin you out. enjoy the ride...
