    Your first mopar...?

    Bought my Dart in 2005. Looks almost exactly the same now besides hood pins and wheels. 2005 feels like 10 years ago, not almost 20.

    Mopar Street Rod/Rat Rod Thread

    I love seen street rods at the drag strip. Grew up around the trailer queens of the NSRA shows and now that I am older I just prefer cars that see action.

    Pressure to get car done

    My wife always asked about my car. It wasn’t running when we first started dating and I was always over there working on it. It was 3 years before she got to go for a ride in it. Coming up on 5 years now and it’s only issue is it overheats. Hopefully it will be back on the road this summer. I...

    Your favorite rear end/final drive ratio and why?

    I am using a 3:55 limited slip. Engine made 415 hp and 435 ft lbs at the crank. I do VERY little highway driving and a lot of backroad cruising around 60 mph. I honestly couldn’t tell you what RPM I am running at 60 but it’s a decent mix. I am considering going to 3:93 if I ever have time or...

    What is this tool thread? Take a guess. Stump the Toolman!

    I prefer to cut the edges by hand without that tool to be honest. But I’m surprised someone guess those two. Well done.

    What is this tool thread? Take a guess. Stump the Toolman!

    Dicer got it. The cutter cuts the edge of a ceiling tile so it sits down into the grid.

    Very close but wrong part of the building.

    This one should be difficult.

    Rat Rod Al and Hurricane Ian

    I was just reading that thread. Powers out so if he doesn’t have a smart phone we won’t hear from him for a while. Glad he wasn’t hard headed and moved to the mainland at least.

    Do you get nervous?

    My Darts been rear ended, broke down on the road and in parking lots. I spent $6000 on an engine rebuild and it spun a bearing two years later. It will see many more problems but it’s just a car and can’t take it with you.

    Undefeated on the street !!!

    Not racing but back in 07 I was 17 years old and a girl in our group had her house to herself for a weekend. So of course she threw a party. On the way there I decided to do a nice burnout on the main drag through town. A cop passed me going the other way and I saw him pull a u turn. I shut off...

    Lets make the best real world *MPG* THREAD EVER !!

    Graduated in 2009. I bought my dart when I was 15 for $2000.

    Lets make the best real world *MPG* THREAD EVER !!

    I ended up putting a 2 barrel on it with Clifford headers and one of the slant six cams. Still had no power but now that I’m older I realized some better gears would have helped that.

    Lets make the best real world *MPG* THREAD EVER !!

    Every once in a while I really really miss the days of cruising around in my slant six dart with 35,000 miles. My dart was my most reliable vehicle when I was in high school in 06-09. Couldn’t tell you the mileage I got but it was a bone stock drivetrain 225/727/7.25 with 2:73 gears. It wouldn’t...

    engine paint?

    The guy asked about engine paint and this is where you’re going? OP, POR15 makes a great product but depending on how much driving the car will see it may be overkill. Mine hasn’t seen much driving in the last 10 years, maybe 500 miles but it still looks pretty good with whatever block paint...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    I had a real bad misfire on my small block. The car has been off the road for 6 years and after a fresh rebuild this issue started after finally getting the exhaust on. It wouldn’t idle worth a crap if the engine was cold either. Threw some new plugs in it and it’s a night and day difference.

    Performance mixed with fuel economy!?

    I don’t drive my Dart because it’s good on gas. Even with a 318 and efi I would think breaking 20 mpg would be a struggle.

    What car deal did you get back in the day?

    Not sure if it counts as back in the day but I bought mine 16 years ago for $2000. Slant six, 31,000 miles, and I’m the second owner. Didn’t look much different then this besides stock hub caps and suspension.

    Your Favorite Abody

    Kinda surprised no one has mentioned the Tooth Jerker. This car has been 4.17 in the 1/8 on leaf springs and it’s actually got a mopar mill.

    Your Favorite Abody

    My dream car is the 68 hemi dart. But I’ve had my 73 for 16 years so it would be tough to beat.

    Just got back from my honeymoon.

    I have a Honda Accord that’s a company car that I drive every day. An F150 for towing my garbage around and hunting. And my Dart. My wife has a Chrysler 200. I considered selling her Chrysler and giving her the Honda and me drive the truck but I don’t really want to drive 75 miles a day in that...
