Jim, so sorry to hear of your loss. I have always appreciated your comments on my build, and those L8R's. Ben.

that's where the clutch linkage cross shaft is attached to the body with a ball stud. The bracket welded on the body is to reinforce the panel. This would be present on a vehicle that has a standard transmission at some point. Ben.

managed to get all of the broadcast sheets put into some plastic covers. Was fortunate to find three of these sheets. Each one of them has its' own problems, but when you take all three together you get a clear picture of all of the options this car came with. While I tried to keep the car...

thanks for the compliments on the Dart. Tried to talk the wife into a B body like yours, but she is standing firm on wanting a 70 model Roadrunner, even though she had a later body style.......a 72 or 73 Charger, after the RR was traded in! Ben.

BEAUTIFUL car you have there. A lot of people are surprised to find out the V02 option came from the factory, as you don't see a lot of two tone cars these days. Everyone assumes it should have a vinyl top! Love your color combination........my two tone green V02 is one of those combinations...

looking for a little bit of help in estimating the value of this car. I'm not looking to sell, just need an honest appraisal from those who understand these cars, and have a feeling for the current market. I realize that opinions will vary, according to personal color and drive train...

well the little Dart flew through emissions, even with a high idle, got plated and has insurance at a very reasonable 180.00 bucks a year for full coverage. Only downside is the limit of 2000 miles a year, but we'll have to see about that! Ben.

getting ready to head out to the local 'burger stand' car show this afternoon......got the clutch replaced and the shifter adjusted properly.....man what a difference! Also got the power steering gear adjusted properly.....steering feels so much better! The more I stand back and look at the...

that black out hood treatment has crossed my mind! Really do like the look of the hood treatment on the 71 Demon! (I swore I wasn't going to 'clutter' this car up!). Ben.

what's there to get mad about Terry?!? lol. The colors look so much better in person! Any way the only green we could come up with was only going to be 'close', and I already have enough shades of green on this car, especially in the interior! At the very least, I appreciate your honesty! Ben.

Thanks Ken! Purchased the stripe from ChallengerGary. Very quick delivery, and installation was pretty straight forward. The biggest challenge for me was choosing a color! Black? White? or green? Ben.

thought I would put a tail stripe on the Dart to see if I liked the look. Figured the matte black would probably go with all of the other colors a little better, rather than try to match the roof green. Now that it is on, I like it........ but don't know whether I liked it better, plain?? Ben.

Thanks Rick! Would be great to see one of your cars here in Tucson. We really do have a lot of good shows here, and being in southern Arizona, a lot of really interesting place to go to for shows. Even more fun are the trips to the different places, offering a variety of scenery and history...

......and a few more! Ben.

some more pictures from the Tucson Mopar Club car show held at Tucson Dodge. The old 52 Desoto had a v-10 engine in it! Looks like they had to recess the firewall a bit to fit! Ben.

went to my first car show, Saturday, with the Dart......it's longest trip from the comfort of the only home it has known for the last 3 years! Sure enough there are some things I am going to have to look at and take care of. Like some kind of back lash noise from the rear end, a clutch that I...

yeah, definitely would be labeled a 'personal preference', but still the 69 stripe really has a number of things going for it that set it apart from the 68 and 70 stripes. The break in the middle, as well as being vertical and having the 'Dart' and 'Swinger' graphics.....probably one of the...

the decision to add a stripe would be so much easier if this car were a 69 model! The stripes really look good on the 69 Swinger 340 cars....I always liked them on the several of those cars that I have had over the years. My 68 GTS looked better to me with the horizontal stripes that came on...

The car was a stripe delete, since it originally had the vinyl side moldings. The interior is multi shades of green. Have decided for now to leave things the way they are without a stripe. Pictures just don't do justice to how nicely all of those shades of green, especially the main body and the...

one last little bit of video with the Dart out in the sun and running! Ben. http://youtu.be/uT_r9wNThX4 Do you think the car needs a dark green tail stripe to match the roof, or leave it alone?????Ben.

Will do! Wanted to spend some time driving today after the front end alignment, but some rainy winter weather is stopping me. That and no. 5 and 7 spark plug wires in need of replacing and some plug wire protectors installed! Ben.

THANKS!! NOW maybe a B body for the wife?? Ben.

Thanks!! Will be keeping an eye on your Dart restoration as well! I really like that orange......at one time had even thought about spraying mine that color. Ben.

Glad to help! I know I have picked up quite a few tips and ideas from others on FABO that have really helped with my project, as well. Ben.

fork......part 2. Ben.

Stick a fork in it!! It's done! (As if it really ever is!) The Dart is finished for now, with a few bugs to be worked out on shake down drives, but my list of things to do has just had the last item crossed off. My original intent of 6 months turned into almost three years, and my original...

Thanks for the suggestions......trans is back in and from the initial run up and down the street everything seems to be okay. Just need to fine tune the engine, especially those 3 carburetors! Ben.

back out on the street again, and shifting seems to be good! A few noises here and there that need to be dealt with, along with some fine tuning, and I should be back out on the street for an extended break in cruise. Looking forward to Saturday afternoon, when I can spend the needed time...

Got the original transmission back this morning from the builder so a little bit of cast iron gray to 'spruce' it up. Posted the stamped numbers since this is not the original trans. to the car, if somebody is looking?! (I'm assuming it came from a 68 model, 8B257729?) Will probably install the...
