Agreed. Take out your torsion bars, trailing links, shocks, unhook your upper control arms from the subframe. Disconnect all the lines and wires to the motor, as well as your brake lines, unhook the steering box from the steering wheel, and remove the driveshaft. Then put a jack and/or some...

the 318 and 727 for the dartness were hauled home in a ford focus sedan! tell 'ya, that thing felt wayward as hell. And I've moved engines several times in the trunk of the dart. Dang what I wouldn't give for fold down seats in the dartness sometimes. haha!

At 16 (2006 AD), my first car was a '72 4-door dart with the slant six. Noone in my family has ever kept or worked on classics or hot rods, nor did I have any help picking out, buying, or fixing it. I drove it for three years before I tried to turbocharge it, but ran out of steam...

Put this at the top of the thread, in big, bold letters. :blob:

Steel wheels, painted hubcaps :glasses7:

cool beans. Should we try and minimize using wild tools too in that case? Stick to the briefcase flux core welders and such?

I just recently finished my workshop and I've finally started tearing into my dart. So I guess I might as well take part. I'm doing a more all-over resto-mod but my budget is very very tight, so perfect. So.. Should we each make a thread showing progress and costs as we go? Perhaps link...

That, and has some weird as all get out electrical problem that requires beforementioned jacklegged wiring. (like a headlight switch with intermittent gauge panel lighting.) I also second the messed up gas gauges. Mine reads full when full, still reads full for the first two gallons, sweeps...

Hmm, I'd better go over my notes again, I may not have remembered that right... :tongue7:

I personally don't like Dividing up car shows by make, model, year, build type, anything. And purists piss me off more than they should. I don't think it's a good idea to divide up car shows and likewise the car enthusiasts that go to them along those sort of lines. It leads to a kind of...

we discussed something like this in our dynamics class. and a longer rod makes for faster piston travel away from and towards TDC, along with longer dwell time at TDC and BDC. The shorter rod has less dwell time, and slower piston speeds to and from TDC. Basically, a long rod yanks the...

Well, there's two design elements that BB chevy and ford share, that mopars don't. The first, Mopar Big Blocks are a wedge head, While ford and Chevy are both Canted-valve designs. And second, Everything mopar makes uses comparatively ENORMOUS connecting rods to the equivalent ford and chevy...

Well, truth be told, it's really hard to put a price on something like that. First and foremost, it's a used race motor, meaning its been pushed hard, and pushed hard more than once. anyone who looks at that will have in the back of their mind "Runs like a champ or not, low miles or not, it...

Well, I have a rather odd question today. I was talking with a classmate of mine, who is restoring an old honda bike. There were a few parts which he needed to replace, but nobody makes them. He contacted his local dealership on the advice of some of his friends, and he was able to procure a...

Ahhh, those three magic words, "New Old Stock" I know a buddy of mine who traded a car for a '69 camaro shell, and a complete car's worth of fenders, parts, and chrome, all NOS GM stuff, in box. He sold all the GM parts, bought cheaper repops, and suddenly he had the three thousand dollars...

I'm 21, And I got my first car, a 72 dart, when I was only 17, fixed it, drove it, no accidents, no tickets, for three years. My best friend (who inspired me to get the dart) also got a built 350 chevelle when he was only 16, and drove it for even longer. I will admit, older cars like these...
