lmao, same fridge, different beer, yes it is the hardest working and most used tool in the shop, yes it definately deminishes while friends are over (funny how that works) and bar none something a shop could not easily survive without
this might be a fair ways away from alot of you but there is a guy in vanderhoof b.c. that is coming dangerously close to having to crush a few cuda's among oher a body stuff, granted there is nothing complete but he has alot of good parts, im new at this mopar stuff so im not sure on the years...
correct me if im wrong but how much stregnth is taken out of the frame by cutting it out for the box, i would think the only stregnth would be in the rear quarters???
i am working on this myself, i have taken the front hangers off 1 set of springs, flipped them up side down and for now just tac welded them in for placement, bolt patern works out so i am still the same bolt on connection as original just in a different location, looking through here at the...
Hey there, any of you guys know where to buy a leaf spring relocation kit for a 71 scamp? im in bc canada and i seam to be having a hard time finding parts, same as sub frame connectors
this very well could be me talking out my tailpipe but has anyone heard of taking a suspension out of a 87 merc and thowing it into a 71 dart, i know there would be a fair ammount of work involved, the thing is i would like to get the newer disc assembly, i have a 74 valiant that i could use the...
hey free is where its at, lets say ou smack the front, as common as they are have you ever tryed to fing a alt or pwr stering bracket ect when you need one yesterday, ceased or not its a good score
hey, im newto mopar, in my venture in building a dart, i now have aquired 4 318's in various states, and hey if i have them on hand, its easly acsessable parts if need be. if you have the space, why not.
hey there, as i said before i am new to old school dodge but i know with chev they have places like jc witney that deal specifically in oem or aftermarket parts right down to the stickers, i know dodge has to have one too do you guys know where to look?
dude you can go as big or as small as you want, i had a binks spray booth when i did it for a job and yah it was nice, but now for a hobby i have a 30 by 30 shop with a 18 inch squirle cage fan vented into the roof(which you shouldent do if you are doing too many projects), i open the window a...
i still havent taken any pictures but i picked up that 71 the frame rails are sweet and so is the floor for the most part,the old lady is kinda pissed due to now having 3 a body"s here as uposto 1 which was origionally expected but come spring the other 2 should be gone, ill get some pictures...
yah, the rear frame rails look fine, but ill take a better look at them today, i just got back from out of town, i also think ill take a better look at one of the other ones he has there to see if one of the shells has fraim rails in better shape. ill keep you posted
ok here it goes, i started out with a 1974 valiant which i later found out that the whole roof skin was rotten, seing as though i wanted to change it to a dart style front and rear end i recently picked up a 72 dart which looked reasonable on the outside, as i was loading it on the trailer i...
oh well, at least its out now, here are the two sites i was looking at,

k i just pulled the motor out of the campervan i have at the house and im kinda stoked (i think) i crossed the numbers of a mopar website and it says that it is a race engine ( 4104230-318-4 ) they say its orange but this one is blue, do i have something or am i just blowing smoke??????
im in the same boat myself, ive got 3 318's and the more im looking at all this i think ill run the 318 untill i build a 360 fi, a little more electrical but if done right it should be more user friendly, id like to say go big or go home but the 440 is just a tad out of the budget for now.
thanks guys, alot of good info, as soon as i get the dart to the house ill send pictures of both and progress there-after, im sure ill have more questions the further i get into the drivetrain end of things. actually whats this i hear of a "mini tub" i get moving the leaf springs to the frame...
hey there, this is my first mopar build (allways WAS a bow tie guy) i was doing a 74 valiant but after pulling back the roof fabric to find all the cancer arround the windows, i found a 71 dart so now the valiant is a good donor. I have a 318 in the valiant (not original so i do nt know what...
