I wanted to take the chance to intorduce myself. I have been working on my dart for the last 3 years. I got it finished and put miles on it last summer. I swapped the front fenders and grille over from a 1971 dart with a custom hood. I made a sign with all the work that was done. Can't wait for the weather here to get better so I can drive it again this summer.

Very nice, I like it!

Can't read your board though. Could you put it all in a post?

Better but still hard to read. Seems like the website sometimes will allow you to click on the picture and it will expand, but it isn't working for me on this one. So the pictures of the board are all pretty small.

If not typing it out again, maybe a close up of each section while square to the board?

I can read the top section though. 392, so 318 based stroker? Original motor?

What's the backstory on the car? How long have you had it?

I wrote it out quick. I didn't realize it wouldn't allow the photo to be opened larger.
It is a 318 based 392 stroker. It was the orignial block.
I have had the car since 2017, drove it for the first year as I got it. I started collecting parts for what I wanted to do starting the first year. From when I pulled the motor to driving it was 2.5 years. That was working 30-35 hours on average per week to get it done.

It does still have power steering.
Rear wheels are 18x11, tires are 295,45R18 (Custom Length for the axle to fit the backspacing)
Front wheels are 18x7, tires are not the final size I will be using. I have a taller side wall and wider tire to put on.
