Keep the original hood please. It fits the car better than the tear drop.

Helps when you have a forklift with extensions to help.

Now on to the front suspension.

Before we pull this old engine we wanted to see if she would even fire up after years of sitting.





Not much of a start up, but she fired! Not sure what we are going to do with it because we are building a new Dart 427 for her.

Out with the old to make room for a bad 427!

I can tell that car has history....could have gone a bunch longer with a little carb overhaul and a new gas tank.

cool project

@ Vince, you are absolutely correct. with a little elbow grease and TLC this could have easily turned into a runner.

We are going to have a lot of extras we will not use. All the suspension, 351 Cleveland, 4 speed top loader. If anyone is interested feel free to PM me or send me an email at [email protected]

I saw this car at my buddy's shop in Pomona. Bad deal there but cool car. Good luck with the project.

Very cool, can you give us a rundown of the plan specifics for the car.

Derale 04-07-2014 07:09 AM

This is a true S code Cyclone. We plan to build a dart 427 for it. We are going to install a complete Total Cost Involved suspension. We are going to build a roll cage for it and plan to take in to road course events. The car will be debuted at SEMA 2015 to help celebrate the companies 60th anniversary. After SEMA the car will hit the track and show scene.

In the next few days we will have the concept drawing completed. I will post it in the thread so everyone can get a better idea of what we have planned for it.
