Just ask him not to look in the back seat this timeTook my wife for a quick ride....................It is so awesome to be able to drive the car together after 50+ years!! I know my FIL was riding along.....................
you might want to put a drain hose on the radiator overflow fitting and route it pointing to the the ground. If it happens to build pressure and releases, it will be spraying all over your pretty Hemi.
I have the overflow bottle mounted, I need to get the correct size hose. Would you happen to know the correct size?
I just use 1/4 inch fuel line.
Thanks Dave.
I recommend putting a clamp on it as well, don't ask me how I know...................
1/4" vent hose, not as thick as fuel line. and doesn't need to be because there is no pressure on it. A tension clamp is a good idea on both ends

Certainly a man’s car! When I had a 4 speed in mine with a heavy clutch and a vertigate it was pretty wild to drive. Car looks great brother!! You’ll enjoy the hell out of it.
Thank you! I Love it!!
Well after a whole year of updates and a great build now that the Dart is home not much to report. Just cleaninig it up after sitting for months. I still have to install the carpet and put the tires and slots back on for its first show at Mopars in the Park in Minnesota the end of May. We did get the trailer painted and it looks 100% better.................
Very cool! Never enuf pics of that beast!

Thanks for taking all of us on this glorious ride!

Shiny paint causes stress.
Your driver's side headlight bulb looks dead in that photo.
Neither of the headlights are working, I need to mess around with the wiring.

If head light wiring old worn out Year One sells new M&H wire harnesses which are identical to the originals. Just unplug old harness at firewall and plug new harness in.
Thanks already replaced the harness. Guess I just need some new lights.

So when roads are dry you take it out for some drives?
Haven't had much dry here for a while. I am out of town next week and then loading it up for Mopars in the park. Looking forward to the first show having the car and telling the story.
I put the plug / play LED headlights and reverse light bulbs in my Duster and HemiMarks Demon. Easy / peasy....and WOW! are they bright. They plug right in to your OEM harness with zero effect on charging system. They have a relay built into the new harness that tucks easily behind the headlight bucket.
Put 60 miles (one way) on the Duster last Friday driving to Norwalk / Summit Raceway for a free day (9am-3pm) of fun drags courtesy of Summit / Atech.....no discharge effect what so ever.
Demon has the new LEDs and they look almost OEM.
