Yes, I follow you. I suspect you will be going through many iterations of exhaust before the final. Most V10's either sound good or bad, nothing between. The good ones do sound sweet though.
Again, keep up the beautiful work!

Very cool project!

Can you use oval tubing to get the clearance you need for the exhaust?

Really cool project Will. I've been following over at PT. Glad you decided to intro Scud over here! Keep going Sir...:thumbsup:

Very awesome Will. Great work. That Dart should be a killer build.

I can but it's not so much ground clearance that I'm dealing with. It's just a very narrow cavity that I have to run it through. I really wanted side exit exhaust through the rocker similar to the Viper but it looks to be too complex at this point. However, I will however pick up some 3" PVC this year and play with some mockup to see if I can make it work. Will be way simpler to run it out the back, but that's also not the vision. We'll see.

What an incredible build

Looking good man, what do you think about those spherical joints your using on control arms? Arey they only on the front suspension?

Great work Will !!

I've had several 69 darts over the years and always wanted to do something simular to your build. The original suspenion, tire width and brake selections just won't fit the body for any real PT type car effort. One 69 I had was a 440 mag - but without mods to the wheel wells I could never get any traction and it handled even worse...

For exhaust routing - maybe check out Bob Johnsons cuda project ? It turns 90 degrees at the front of the rear tires and exits out the side of the car. You might have some space for muffler selection. Just an idea.

Great design and I can't wait for more progress !!

Jim

Love the car man. Going to be killer when you get it all done. Keep the work coming! :thumbsup:
