Thanks my friend.. I love the color combo as well.. I think it makes the buggy look mean... And I am a Kenny Wayne Shepard fan, I believe that song fits!
 
So everyone has been wanting this all summer and I just have never had the time or oppurtunity to get this video in.. .today we have the cars out for probably what will be the last hurrah before we think about putting them down for the winter.. I set the phone up outside my buddies garage (the garage I keep the buggy in is a few doors up).. and decided to catch the quick burnout.. lol... its not my best work, but it was fun as hell.. the car wasnt totally warmed up, so in an effort to keep her from bogging I tried to ease into the burnout instead of just mashing on it.. well that just ended up pushing the buggy LOL .. so.. i got after it a little better.. Next season I will have to do another.. theres talk of a motor swap for the buggy next season :happy1: enjoy gang.. and as always thank you for following my thread..

Another 360. A friend of mine is selling me one that's been worked over. It'll be right around 375 horse. More than enough for me to get myself in trouble with lol

Thanks Brad... I may try to get one more in before the Dart gets laid up for the winter.. it will all depend on my schedule and the weather.. I am pretty stoked about the engine swap.. just have to get the funds together to get the new motor.. Still have other things to spend money on this winter as well.. Most importantly being my super stock springs and new shackles...
 
That's awesome Bill, I finally got a second job and hope to be doing some stuff to, Two Scoops this winter. I bought a 83/4 rear and axles for it, but have to figure out how to get them cause they are in Georgia and I'm in Ohio.lol Can't wait to here more on the Buggy and another video would AWESOME!!!! :)

Were you planning on going to pick the rear end up? Or have it shipped? I am gonna guess shipping wont be cheap LOL .. I got mine at the Mopar nationals.. Drove it home in the trunk of the buggy LOL ...
 
Yep thinking of makin a run down to pick it up, just tryin to figure how much to take with me. The rear and axles are paid for just need to get them up here. It's not a Mopar but I inquired a vehicle this summer so I'm thinking of going down in it, it gets great gas mileage just wondering at this age if I have the umph to do it on my own lol.

Thanks Jerrod... I figured you've been busy.. Glad you liked the burnout, I am eventually going to have to do a better one though.. But that will most likely wait til next season. We'll see.. Now I look forward to seeing a certian purple Duster doing a bad *** burnout!! lol..

As for the future enging build.. the good news for me is the engine is already built.. all I have to do is drop her in.. its a worked over 360.. I dont have all the specs on hand at the moment (so I will get into all those details when the day arrives LOL).. plus a reworked 727, full manual shift, forward pattern, with new stall speed converter.. she is supposed to be around 350-375 hp... so that should be plenty to get the buggy all sideways and that LOL .. I am hoping to do the swap early next season.. probably in May.. I also am hoping to get the new super stock springs and all that done at that time as well... As always.. stay tuned my friend
 
This "purple duster" you speak of. DID do OUTRAGEOUS burn outs lol......but I still have not fixed it after I messed it up when I ran it through its paces a little over a month ago.

took my brother for a ride and pinned the gas and it launched so hard that the rear end cocked and when it smacked 2nd a u joint cut loose.

so i still have to true the rear end up and toss in new u joints and then it should be good to go.

im probably just going to finish buttoning up some odds and ends and then come next spring it should be done and ready to drive and get a full summers worth of driving out of it.

really wanted to get it to a car show this year.....but.....what can ya do lol.

maybe next year we can meet up some time and take the mopars cruising!

Well when shes fixed up, get a burnout video up.. its my turn to request a vid LMAO ... and nothing would be cooler than us being able to meet up and cruise the cars together.. We will think of something
 
ME TOO ME TOO I wanna come can I hang with both of you too PLEASE!!!
 
So, I was looking through some old cd's I had with car pics stored on it (to post some in my friend mr b's thread) and came across a short, grainy, fairly poor quality, older cell phone video of me doing a quick burnout with the buggy.. this would be one of the last times I had it out before its being laid up for the 2 year resto... I completely forgot that I even had this.. and to see the Dart like that in motion, instead of just old pics, is crazy.. I still cant believe the car my friends and I finished this past May, is the car in this video... LOL.. so nows there two buggy burnouts on this page... seperated by almost 3 years now, and looking very differant from one another.. enjoy gang
