It's longer than it should be. I did some tweaking and could use more if it was on a nicer car. I was going to put the chrome molding on but it's not even close to fitting.
I'd buy it again but my cars are drivers.

My 71 Dart, I mean my sons. It's finally in the garage. Front end is getting rebuilt. New floors etc. Then the 440 goes back in it.

Sometimes non-Mopar or non period colors look strange on 67-69 Barracudas, but I am going to say that the color you have chosen should look AWESOME! Can't wait to see it done.
Here's my '69 Dart in 'paint prison'. Been there since December. Hope to see some color in the next couple of weeks.
I guess I shouldn't complain too much since I've only had the car 9 years.
The previous owner cut the top of the radiator support. It's now back together as one piece and you can't tell it was ever cut.
The inner fender/cowl bracing you see on the underside and the radiator support bracing is from US Car Tool. The bracing inside the engine compartment is from XV Motorsports purchased before they closed their doors. There's also torque boxes from US Car Tool and frame connectors from Hotchkis Suspension under the floor.
One more part you can't see from US Car Tool is their 200-4R transmission crossmember.

Nice, lots of 72 darts out there. Here is my 73 dart I am cloning to a 72. I started the project 13 years ago but got side tracked. I decided this year I was going to get it finished. So here it is in bare metal excluding the trunk which I did with spray in bed liner. Im in the process of fitting panels to get the rest of the car ready for paint.

My '67 at local car cruise. I won a little race against that Fairlane 500 next to it.

Extreme Automatics (Amelia, OH). Lonnie built me what I wanted when nobody else would - a manual shift, reverse pattern with a lockup converter. I had him build it using the Reid bellhousing so no adapter is needed between the engine and trans.
I'd talked to Art Carr several years ago and at that time he said he'd build one the way I wanted. But when I had the money saved up and ready to buy, Art claimed nobody could make them live in that configuration. Turns out Lonnie was building the parts for Art when Art was building them like that. Lonnie had no problem both guaranteeing the build and providing a warranty, and also won't start the warranty clock ticking until my Dart hits the street.
The 200-4R has a deeper 1st gear than a 727, a better gear ratio spread and a 0.67 OD. I'm planning on running a 4.30 gear and a 28" tire which will let me cruise on the freeway at 70mph at 2421rpm per the calculator
Check out some of the other threads about Lonnie's work.

Thanks for quick reply O.C., I've heard good things about E.A.
That's where I'll be going.

Lots of nice cars here.
Sheesh, nothing like 112 degrees with the windows down, huh?
Drove through 117 degrees with the windows down a few weeks back. Felt like someone was blowing my face with a blow drier!

My 65 'cuda 4 speed Commando 273 on July 5th 2017... My friend Kim taking it for a spin... While I changed the plugs in her 2012 5.7 Hemi RAM... (She had wanted to drive it for years... And I finally said... "Do it"... ) if you look close, she's flashing the piece sign and a big smile... Took pic when I heard her coming down the road... And, Me, with a sigh of relief...
Summer time here in Phoenix, we tend to put our cars away when it's over 105 +

Photo taken just an hour ago. First real drive this year. I have been doing body work and got it repainted. Still working on small stuff and have not yet installed the stripes. I live in Sweden. Nice days a few and far between even in the summer.
