Tincup's 63 Dart w/5.7 Hemi

-
Looking at the tubs and how you fabrcated the brackets back I would like to tell you that you have done a hell of a job on the tubs. And the car looks awesome as it sits right now.
 
Well I just cant bring myself to cut up perfectly good tubs, and I'm getting tired of welding. I only need to do a bit more and then I'm done. Thanks for the vote of confidence on doing the tubs though. Keep up the good work and hope to see some pics soon.

I haven't finalized any color choices yet, possibly a greenishsilver.

Thanks, it's my first attempt at tubbing.

I hated to cut it up, but I would have hated to run skinny tires even more, so out came the cut off wheel....

That's kind of what I was thinking after watching Gearz this weekend. Thanks!

That is so f-ing sweet. I wish I had the coin do the same, but the better half and rugrats come first, everything else is second, but you never know what the future holds. Keep the pics coming.
 
Love it, keep the good work up, and don't forget the pics, I need more car ****.

I hear you, my rug rat is 19, so now it's pretty much just me and the wife, and she rather I spend it on my hobbies rather than drinking, etc.

Joe, that has to be one of the nicest compliments I have ever had, I try my best...

Hang in there guy's, I just uploaded a bunch of pic's to Photobucket, but it won't let me get to my album, did I mention how much I hate Photobucket?
 
I'm salivating with anticipation!!! My rugrats are son 5 and daughter 9 months. I bet that she will be the only girl in school who can pull an engine and trans in 30 minutes, and not break a nail. Looking forward to some more eye candy.
 
Wheel tubs are finally complete, all that's left is the seam sealing in the trunk.

I had last week off just to work on the car, so I finished the tubs, and installed the sub-frame connectors.

I tried like hell to get my daughter interested in cars since she was born, no luck! Oh well, maybe someday I will have a grandson to pass on all this crap, oh, I mean knowledge.

One thing I did to seal everything up and at the same time get some insulation was to Rino Line the floor. Sherwin Williams sells a Kit that you could buy for arround $100.00 and it will do the whole interior with a heavy coat. You might want to consider it. Just a suggestion.
 
Looking good. Did I spy the relocation kit also? Love the wheel tubs.

I went with the Magnum Force kit, a little more than the Mopar, but it had the three adjusting holes already drilled, and billet aluminum rear hangers.
 
Very nice. Cant wait to see more.
 
What have you accomplished in the last few days? I'm looking forward to seeing more pics. Did you talk to MM?
 
I love your car and what you have done to it. Looks good cannot wait to see some more
 
WOW............ That's all I can say. Wow.

PLEASE keep the progress pictures coming. We LOVE car ****....=P~
 
I've been working on preping the floor for coating. I welded in around the subframe connectors, then cleaned and primed the rest. This weekend I will seam seal and coat with bedliner. Not real excting stuff for photos. I should have some **** next week, my rear should be in from Currie...
