Mopar General Discussion?

[TrailBeast]

Yea, Mopar general discussion because because everything in general is getting changed and upgraded.
I’m sure some will ask about some of it.
This is my buddy Mike’s car.
It was a mostly stock 71 Dart Swinger, 318/904 car.
Now it’s a built 440/727, Gear Vendors, Hemi Denny K member with power rack and pinion coil over front and 3:21 geared 8.75 Sure Grip with disc brakes and caltracs.
I’m putting together another YouTube video on it, but here’s some teasers that will make a few wonder.

I was curious to see if anyone noticed that.
Mike recessed it to the inside mostly to clear the aluminum panel for the engine compartment.
Quite ingenious way of doing it I thought, because it didn’t change the geometry of the linkages much.
He just had to pull the wiper arms and let the motor park and put them back on.
He remounted with stand offs on the inside.
Once that was done he fabbed up a bunch of rivet tabs and attached the aluminum sheet.

ahh! recessed. Nice!

looks like a man who needs a welder, but only has a rivet gun

I donooooo seems to me you might want to leave it removable

Yeah, but if that's the case, there are better options then rivets

Well, I've got the HDK front end w/ R/P steering and Willwoods ! Got the USCT spring relocation kit to the frame rails, narrowed 8.75 with 3:55's and a brace just for chitts and grins, the only thing left is to decide what I want for power ! Also have an aluminum Dash and gauges just sitting there waiting to get installed !
