well??? the front settled down some after a quick ride.. i still thing the entire car needs to come down about another inch for that nasty look.. man now when you turn the wheel the car actually turns.. didn't realize how much those skinny's were holding me back....

Man that looks great. I would leave it like it is. :thumbup:
Dang I like your car :blob:
 
looks good. have you found out anything else about the engine in that dart??? (just read your story on your website)
 
It does look good, but, do you have any room to spare up front? It looks like you can't go any lower.
 
I wasn't too fond of those wheels when you first gave us a peek at them but after seeing them mounted I have changed my mind they look fantastic!

oh yea i found the entire article that was written on it.. also talked to a few guys that had first han knowlege of it.. basically just a 360 mp short block with eddy heads bolted to it..
 
Looks really good Joe! Did you have to use spacers for the front or did the Alter-K let you bolt them right on?

the alter-k and wilwood brakes up front let me just bolt them on.. would love to figure out what it would take to put them on a stock disc brake front end though.. the greay ones would look awesome on jamies car..
 
When you say stock brakes, do you mean the 73 and up disc brakes? I am planning on using Mustang rims on my 73 Duster and am now wondering if I will need to upgrade my discs to the Wilwoods. Also do you have to have power brakes to run the Wilwoods?

yes i mean 73 and up duster style brakes... the rim doesn't fit over the hub... a spacer will probably take care of it.. you'll probably need a spacer anyway because the 5.72 backspace i think is too much for a stock suspension a-body...


i'm running manual brakes with the wilwoods.
 
looks good, but I'd have to agree with you a-body joe eigther the front can come down or the back can go up a bit, in my opinoin due to the fact that the top of the rear wheel lip is lower then the front it makes the car look like its lower in the back then the front, kinda akward if you ask me. keep up the good work!
