"pull hard, itll come easy"
recent winter project, moved the battery to the trunk, made a master disconnect switch bracket from a carter rotary electric fuel pump bracket, built my own rod and arm, and re-used the switch arm. ran 1/0 stinger stereo cable, tinned copper core, to the front. turned out awesome!! also, my brand-x knee knocker tach went kaput, so i fabbed up a bracket that i figured was the least invasive to the dashboard, even though mines not perfect by any means, i really didnt want to drill holes through it. figured maybe it would be good for a few of you fellas for an idea or 2. cheers!
Love the blue. !!!
Nice work Durge!

Hey dartman what size wheel and tire do you have on the back? Look like 15" big bolt 245's? They look good!

Did you just do a spring relocation? Biggest I got on mine was a 245 stock spring location.

I picked this up off craigslist a couple of years ago. The guy was getting ready to part it because he didn't get any offers. This is a rust free car, it had some minor body damage and mostly original paint. The interior upholstery is trashed. It's almost ready for paint.
The last picture is the condition when I got it. The body looks nicer than it was.

I did put disk brakes and 8 3/4 under it already, we have tied the subframes, relocated the leaf springs, and hung the a/c unit. Not a race car by any means, I already have a hot rod, my coupe will go high tens.
I have decided to leave the bench seats and all the trim to keep it looking like a sleeper. We are going with a not traditional mopar motor, hopefully 300 to 350 hp at the wheels. I want to make sure I can get the motor in and working before I open my mouth :violent1: and run into some unexpected issue. It will be a mopar motor and a 727. Either people will love it or hate it.
We wanted to have it ready for MATS, thats not happening. May be ready for paint in the next month or so. All the body work is done, we are now blocking and cleaning up the trim. Going to stick with the stock white paint and red interior. Cop car wheels/hubcaps.
YES, it would make a great race car :burnout:. but I wanted something to drive distance in, my coupe is not that car.

Can't wait. Early Hemi or late hemi? Late model turbo motor? This is gonna be good! lol
I have no business buying another car but if a I stumbled across a early post Dart I'd have a hard time not bringing it home. lol

Does anyone know which wire is positive on the radio for the 66 dart. There is a green one and a black one with a green stripe.

The power wire is a red one. It's ganged with an orange wire for the light. The green, green/black wires are for the speaker.

Thanks but I need to know which wire to the speaker is positive, the solid green one or the black one with the green stripe.

Ready to hit the track with new bullet, I am sure we will have issues but hopefully nothing we can't work out. Hoping by the end of summer paint and body will be done.
Go fast Joe. Keep us posted with your progress. Good lookin' 66 you have there............. tmm
This should be a no brainer but I recently purchased my mid life crisis car. a 1966 Dart 270 with a 273 engine. My first car was a 1966 with a slant 6. Its in great shape but the dash pad is in bad shape. How do I remove the &%#@ thing. I'm very handy so don't hesitate.
Welcome! Dang, never had to take mine off. Someone will chime in I'm sure. tmm
