Going to be kick ass Joe!! :thumbsup:

Sorry about the issue with your other thread!! :_paranoid

[linkstar69]

Love this build, keep the pics coming. I'm already subscribed.

[two68s]

Joe, did you order those seats from Corbeau without the covers?

[bamadale]

my son and i will be watching for more updates. we are attempting to build a 67 barracuda with a 340. he really likes the lime green with some black in the paint scheme.

[joe440]

Joe, did you order those seats from Corbeau without the covers?

yes, they're a lot cheaper.

[linkstar69]

Any more progress?

[joe440]

the driver side quarter was sticking out a little to far so it had to be cut and pushed in. Also the shaved door handle kit and indicator lights came in. dont worry about the gaps between the fender/door/quarter there just placed on for now

Its my uncles 63 split window who lives across the country. its been sitting there for a while, he did a bunch of work to it and the motor back in the day. tail lights are from a catalina.

[tones2SS]

DASH LOOKS SICK!!!!
Good color and gauges go well.:thumbsup:

[joe440]

thanks. 71dusterjon, i just joined up there, great site.

[joe440]

nice day so we rolled her out. Worked on the front seats and mounting them and putting in a center council through to the back. Problems with the center council you can tell in the straight on pictures how the tunnel is off set so gotta figure what im doing there. in the works...

[joe440]

Got the seats "officially" mounted and put the door actuators in, a lot of people were saying how the cables eventually stretch out so we got some little blocks machined out and tapped so we could use a rod to pull the door so we wont have to worry about them stretching

[Krazed]

That's gonna be badass! :thumbsup:

One question though, Which door popper set (shaved handle kit, which ever you call it) Did you use for the Dart?

I've been pondering it and haven't heard of anyone using any specific brand aside from maybe Electric Life.

[joe440]

I got the kit from autoloc its in a lot of the magazines, they're cartoony lookin ads. The kit is awsome and works great. I got the 50lb. solenoids, they're more than enough to open the door without even using the little popper helpers. heres the link to it

[joe440]

little update. cut the holes in the hood for the air cleaners, nothings bolted down just sitting on the carbs for looks.ones taller cuz we just had two different size carbs and cleaners to throw on. they look small in the pics but they're nice and beefy in person.

[joe440]

Wasn't originally going to do this, but doing anything other than polishing them would be the lazy way out. Started sanding them and a lot more sanding to do, and then some more sanding.

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.

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

[joe440]

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.

Paint date Dec. 5th

[joe440]

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

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 Wrong. The Long Ram will bolt up to their respective cylinder heads. This manifold design was available on the B engine- 361 and the RB engine being the 413. Both versions would bolt up to your standard 361/383/400 B engines and the 413/426Wedge/440 RB engines.

Now the true MAX WEDGE engines had the heads with the larger port openings, among other differences ( 4 bolt Valve Covers ) ect.... :thumbsup:

[joe440]

thanks for that info, was getting curious about that.

[57hemicuda]

If I'm wrong I stand corrected,Was it the standard cross ram,that had the tall ports for the Max Wedge heads.It was years ago {like twenty}that I had the mis fit issue on those parts.Just trying to give a freindly warning.Ron

[98ssnova]

very nice can't wait to see the the intakes polished

[HaulinAsp]

If I'm wrong I stand corrected,Was it the standard cross ram,that had the tall ports for the Max Wedge heads.It was years ago {like twenty}that I had the mis fit issue on those parts.Just trying to give a freindly warning.RonThe Max Wedge engines (1962,63,and 64) Stages 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 versions had the taller port openings than the standard wedge ports. Along with the taller ports they included a slightly larger valve dia. to take full advantage of the Cross Rams effective upper RPM band. The manifolds shown above are called Long Rams- not Cross Rams. You could use the Long Ram style on your standard Wedge Engine cylinder head- example- #-906 heads, 452 heads, even the Edelbrock Aluminum Wedge cylinder heads,ect.

The Long Ram engine package was more of a low rpm version, or for better description- street version.



I too have a set of these Long Rams and have toyed with making a simillar style set up to utilize 2 turbos and injection.:cheers:

I hope this clears things up.:cheers:

[57hemicuda]

Your right,it was this cross ram i was thinking of.Ron

[joe440]

did some more work on the console last night, its coming out good. And after 2 years of primor finally started painting, did all the jams and engine bay, the rest is getting painted tomorrow. Im very happy with how its coming out.

That really turned out great,can't wait to see it put back together.That color really pops.The engine bay shot kind of looks like a bowl of lime Jello,really wild,they're making some intense colors these days.Should look wild with the engine back in place.Ron http://mysite.verizon.net/ls6ron/

[fastback]

That color rocks! I'm a sucker for green cars!

[moparnate]

[G_T]

Your ride is turning out really awesome... are you going to finish polishing the intake(s)... or perhaps paint them the same green color?

[joe440]

they're going to be polished

[joe440]

put the front end on just to get the look, we have to paint black behind the grill, cause it just doesnt look good like this

ps - don't laugh i designed my billet hood pins in microsoft excell.


www.hoodpins.net

[joe440]

ya, guess you gotta work with what you got
my friend let me borrow his tires and rims just to see if they'd fit, it was a long shot but they actually fit dam good, its a 10" tire which i didnt even think was going to fit but they do, The offset is almost perfect, its gonna need to go out about a 1/4" more when i get the rimss just so it clears the leaf springs a little more.

[joe440]

dash is all done and wired, made the wiring pannel, tail lights wired, headlights wired, tan the battery cable froms the trunk, painted the front black that shows through from the grill and started cleaning under the front end.Under the dash is white because when working on it, it lightens it up a lot better than doing it all black.

Awesome build! :hail:

Love what you did with the dash. I'm going to be doing something similar with my 71 Dart except i'm not sure if I will make the cluster blend with the rest of the dash like yours or have it so I can pull the whole cluster out.

Have any tips on building a new cluster?

[jvike]

Really nice work Joe440! What is the name of the colour? I think it looks like the colour I have! It isn't Nissan Apple Pearl Green by any chanse?

I would suggest flat facing it how i did mine, then you really can do what ever you want from there, one way is to just cut out the shape you want for your cluster after flattening it, then make your cluster and have it be able to bolt right into the dash

[joe440]

[QUOTE=jvike;187263]Really nice work Joe440! What is the name of the colour? I think it looks like the colour I have! It isn't Nissan Apple Pearl Green by any chanse?

They do look very similar, but no. This is actually sherwin williams paint theres not a name for it but it came out of their "hot rod colors" booklet. We call it snake skin green:D , Nice cuda by the way!

[jvike]

Thanks Joe, to me it seems like the colour respond to light and clouds the same way as my colour.

Keep 'em comming!

[joe440]

ya i can tell they do, when the sun hits it, its a hole nother color

How did your custom console turn out?

[joe440]

its still in the works. I layed down some more fiberglass the other day underneath it to strengthin it up a bit more. Theres not much more it needs other than to get it upholstered. Ill take a couple pics when i get home from work.

[WSSix]

The color of the car in combination with the detailing on the engine looks so good to me. Not to mention the radical intake. Well, radical intake to me since I don't know Mopar. I love this build.

[joe440]

The videos should work, kinda crappy quality though with the walmart digi

[NBR521]

Cool build man! I'm currently building a '69 Dart GT. I look forward to seeing yours done!

[joe440]

(im no photographer and either is my walmart digital camera haha)

Car looks great. You must be dying for the summer, not only to run your car, but because of all this SNOW!!! loll...:thumbsup:
Whereabouts in MA are you?

[joe440]

thanks, im in west springfield and ya i cant wait for this snow to get outta here haha. the bad thing is the car is in my grandfathers cellar and you have to go through his backyard to get it in and out and the ground takes forever to dry up, might have to do a little mudding haha.

[waynieZ]

The car looks great Joe you did a great job on it.

[joe440]

thanks wayne, i just check your camaro out on mikes website, really looking good you gotta be pumped.

[73chally]

[joe440]

[70rs]

The wheels look great on there.:thumbsup:

[srh3trinity]

The car looks great. The green pops in the sun and the wheels look really good with the flat black hood.

[waynieZ]

X2 on the wheels they look great. You got some serious rubber going on there.

[moparnate]

looks good!!!

[G-Body]

Way shiny Body paint and black wheels not woking needs maybe a satin black stripe on the saides to match the wheels up some IMO
Great build just looks outta place with out at least a polished lip on there.

[Alex396ss]

Looking good!

Nice garage btw!
