    1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build

    I completely understand. The color in your picture does look very similar to how mine was painted before.

    Originally it was sprayed with Ford’s Redfire Metallic when I bought it. Now it’s a custom mix that’s a bit different than it was.

    1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build

    Boy I just can’t seem to quit buying old Mopars lately. I’ve seen this truck for several years. Had a freeze plug come out of the engine and didn’t get it fixed. Someone broke the back window out several months back. That got me in gear to go see about saving it. So long story short, it’s a ‘91...

    1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build

    No problem. I can correct a lot of my issues by swapping my front wheels with the new backspace offering Billet Specialties has now which is made more for our cars. It would put the wheel .75” inward which would in turn allow me to extend my control arms another .75” longer and I will get more...

    These are 12” springs but still lack about 1.25” of full extension at the coilover due to suspension geometry and wheel combination limitations. The new springs are coiled about 8 more threads than they were before. The front end is noticeably easier to bounce now. At launch, the front end was...

    1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build

    Spent last Saturday at MoKan Dragway at the Mopars Invade event. Didn’t do any good but we had good times. I red lit -.005 in the first round. Then I had to decide what time to throw on the window for the buy back round. The dilemma stemmed from the track not being prepped the best. I’d run...

    Changed out the front springs from 350 lb spring rate to a 250 lb spring rate to help soften the front end and to have more stored energy in the springs for launch. Try not to laugh at how I separated the ball joints! New set of uppers with a slightly different ball joint angle.

    Took my daughter out for the first time this weekend in the Dart. I think she had a pretty good time considering how cranky she was.

    Started a thread for the Barracuda if you care to follow along. I’m sure it will be painfully slow lol. 6.1 Hemi in a ‘69 Barracuda

    Haha cause I’m so slow these days to get anything done. Wife lost her job and kiddo is getting close to 2 yrs old now and hard to keep up with. So no spending money until my wife lands a new job unfortunately. And most of spare time is spent raising our girl, working weekends, or helping my dad...

    I didn’t do many videos last year but I found a few stashed away and threw them together. Looking forward to doing some more cruising videos with slow rolls 2nd-3rd with the cutouts open. She seems to have a really pleasant voice from 5K on up.

    1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build

    Getting it to run properly without a ton of money is going to be impossible! I’m already 6K deep in it and I didn’t want to go over 10K for the idea I have currently. But that’s before all the twin turbo dreams and such haha! So I’m going to definitely have to get creative to make it a solid...

    Hey fellas, I just wanted to let you know that Billet Specialties now offers a 2.75” backspacing on the front 17x4.5 wheels. When I ordered these, they were made for modern cars with a 2.00 backspacing only. This will give you .75” more room to the fender than the ones I ordered!!! This is the...

    Thanks for the comment. I have been hibernating for the winter it seems like lol. I moved the Dart to a storage unit recently and moved the Barracuda inside my garage. Bought a 17K mile Gen III 6.1 from a friend and plan to install that at some point. I’m going to TRY and not dump a ton into...

    This may have been a dumb move but I picked up another car today! This belonged to an ex girlfriend’s grandfather and the car has been in their family since the 70’s. I had last seen this car in Chanute, KS around 2001. Long story short, my ex’s brother has had the car for many years. He drove...

    My fuel pump has decided that it’s getting tired so if I go I won’t be racing. Guess I’ll just throw it in the car show maybe or something.

    68 twin turbo dart project.

    Great build! Your paint caught my eye because it reminds me of how mine looks sometimes in certain light. But your build is much more badass!

    In 4 years I’ve never had anyone ask about it. Heck it wasn’t even wearing a helmet in the night races. They did ding me for my belts being 3 years out of date but that’s also a first for me. I’m betting my helmet is also out of date as well.
