Wow. That's incredible. Having just sold my camaro, there's two Darts I'm looking at and one is a 440. I had a 340 Duster back in the day and am getting fired up reading about your project.
Thanks, and get that 440 dart we need some more mopar builds on this site!
little update. car is out to final body work and paint finally. I've been slackin with getting the intakes done, but the carbs came in and we had to make all the linkage. so got it all made and pretty much what its going to be.
Love those old Mopar cross rams,you had to watch those most were designed for the Max Wedge heads and had a much taller port opening.they would bolt on,but the ports didn't match.Love the use of old retro parts,really cool.Ron
We got our other dart in the garage and started working on the center council, its gonna be fiberglass then painted the color of the car with the speakers on each side. Man is it nice working on the inside of a car when its convertible. Heres the first steps.
Heres a few pics of the council, we switched up the front cause the round look just wasn't looking good. Also added an arm rest/storage compartment.
Paint date Dec. 5th
well the first attempt at the center console with that grill cloth was a failure but got it right this time, just layed some fiber glass cloth down and put the hardner on it and let it sat over night, then stapled them to the sides of the console, not we got to cut the extra off add some layers, sand and paint
