I was just showing the gap for the strip. Here is a picture of the GM black rubber strip in place.

Awesome car to start with. Ill be following your progress. On the 67 Darts, you have to put a locking bead in there to keep the window in place. If you like to black it out, I used the black rubber locking bead from 80's chevy trucks when I did the window seals in my dart. It works perfect. 73...

That is an awesome dart you found to start your build with. Very nice :) In the beginning you mentioned autocross, and you changed it over to that awesome front suspension. What is your plan with the rear suspension and the wheel setup for autocross?

Thank you 360DartGT66! I really appreciate that :) I also like the shape of the rear window. The Darts first came out with that shape window in 1967 but are also used in the later models in the 70's. I took the windows out this week. It was quite nerve wrecking. All right guys. So I...

Thank you member 'TOP' ,Dave, for sending me the tail lights. They work beautifully and the car passed safety inspection. This is the old tail light. Removed New tail lights. Notice how badly the rear bumper and trunk is bent. I took the bumper off and did...

This is how I found my car after it has been sitting out in a field for 8 months: I decided to get to work on the interior of the car so I can start driving it. This is what it looked like. Still had the hole in the floor where I cut it open to fit the T56 transmission. Made stencils...

Thanks for the advice. I think it will be a good idea to have the sound deadener under the leather boot. I can't wait to see your next update :) it's looking good :)

That's very inspiring floor work. I am planning on doing the floor on mine soon, so it's good to see what you have done. I was wondering what you are going to do were the shifter comes through the floor. There is some noise coming through it in my car and some heat as well. What do you suggest?

Congratulations on the Dart. I love 67 - 69 Darts That's awesome that it already has a posi 8 3/4 rear end! I like your vision for the car and will be following your progress :)

Hi and thanks everyone! I'll be back in the US this weekend. I cant wait to get back to my studies, and to start working on my car again. Its been a long time. I am in need of a few parts. So if anyone has some of the following parts or know of any, please let me know. Indicator lenses Head...

Thank you so much ssba. I try to make the thread flow well and to follow easy. I am very proud of that bell housing and am very grateful for the opportunity the University has given me to create the part I needed. I also appreciate everyone on this forum who gives their comments and suggestions...

Thank you 737jetdr. Maybe one day those bell housings will be available O:) Your Dart looks great. That's a very nice color. and those T5 transmissions are awesome as well. Good luck on getting it done are you going to put the trunk trim parts on or leave it like that? If you have any spare...

Body work is such a huge mountain to me. How do you build a car like that? I dont even know were to start when it comes to a build like this. I have a lot of respect for this. Louwtjie

Hi all Let me know what you think. I thought I would make a short video of my Dart. Hope you enjoy it: 360 exhaust sound It is a 360 engine, with Compcams XE268 camshaft, Flowtech headers, 2.5 inch dual exhaust with x-pipe and magnaflow mufflers. 6 speed manual trasmission...

I can't wait to get back to my car after the summer and work on it.

. The headlights are in and working. Turn signals and tail lights are also working, but I need to replace the lenses. My buddy and I drove to the gas station to get some gas and to test and adjust the head lights. We found that the gas tank is really...

Bill, Thank you very much. The 275/60/15's just barely fit. I didn't have to move the leaf springs inward. They are on the standard position, but i did have to trim the fender's inner lip with about a 1/4 inch so it doesn't rub against the tire. I love the stance, it looks great with the big...

. The day the prop shaft arrived, I didn't even go to class at the university. I just went straight to my car and built that prop shaft in. I was so ready to drive it! The drive shaft bolted straight in...

. It was time to fit the universal Wilwood clutch master cylinder and connect it to the slave cylinder with a hydraulic braided hose. . To make some clearance for the clutch pedal, I cut the break pedal's foot pad a bit smaller. Eventually I will make all...

. Thank you Keith. Yes, its good to see the project make some nice progress. I am really anxious to get it all done and start driving it. Two of my friends and I are all building our cars, together and we are planning to have them done round about the same time so we can all drive...

. I had to move the car to a different location. Here are some pictures of when I was pulling it out of the workshop: Since the tires was in a really bad shape, I had to put new tires on it to tow it away. I...

Hi everybody! I think it's about time for an update to my build thread. Sorry that I have been slacking on posting about the Dart's progress. Watch this space:

I made a dust cover that goes between the engine and bell housing so the clutch and flywheel are protected against the elements. Before dropping the engine into the car, i made some engine mounts and then cut the floor and transmission tunnel out. The passenger side...

Firstly, thank you everybody for the nice comments and complements. They are much appreciated. I'm building this car for my self, so I try to make everything exactly how I picture it and would like to keep this car forever, even if I move back to Namibia. This month I moved the car into the...

Thats exciting! The paint looks great!! I feel like this is gona be a real nice car. Louwtjie

Another step closer: Front 205/60r15 Rear 275/60r15 Still need rims though. Im thinking American Racing Torque thrust 2. (They delivered the tires to my apartment so its sitting in my kitchen at the moment. Need to get it out of here!)

Thank you for following my build thread and I appreciate everyone's posts. Today I received the clutch kit. It is the LT1 Chevy Camaro clutch. Its a stage 4 clutch kit with a 6 puck ceramic copper clutch disk from FX racing, and im very happy with the quality. I test fit it tonight...

Thanks for the info orangebeast. I bought a standard Camaro clutch but the clutch disk springs was very lanrge. It interfered and didn't fit into the 360 flywheel. So i sent it back and exchanged it with a stage 4 clutch disk with no springs. I hope this will fit right. Ill post pics on my...

Orangebeast I enjoyed reading through your build. There is so many things you have done that I really want to do my self. Its a bit intimidating to me though. Like what you did with suspension for the rear end. Oh and the rack and pinion modification. Right now, im installing a T56 in my...

From the dream to reality: I'm very thankful for having the opportunity to create something like this, and appreciate all the help i got along the way. Louwtjie
