I was nudged into creating a build thread.

So the story goes...

Once upon a time I had a 71 Dart that I turbocharged and was going to do body work on it over the winter. After removing a few panels and fenders, the car was diagnosed with cancer and had 6 months to live.
It was sent down the road and I picked up a cancer free 70 Dart from Arizona to start a new build on.

As you will see this build took and entirely different direction then the last build.

And then the tear down started so it could go on the rotisserie.


Found 2 build sheets.

Been looking all over for a 46RH. Found a few, all but one were to expensive and trashed. Went and checked out the one today at the bone yard but it turned out to be the non lockup version. I did however score a 42RH.
Its not as stout but it should do the job for a few years.

bye bye 904TF, hellow 4 speed OD!

Took a picture with the good camera. And I still can't capture the color correctly. Cameras have a real hard time with this color.
Even the factory car I got the color from shows up different in every picture I've seen.

3 stage paints are awesome.
Can't wait to see how it shows off the body lines of the hood and the rest of the car.

Put the Dougs headers in place so I can see where the lines need to run to avoid the exhaust.
I'm pretty dang happy with the headers so far. They fit like a glove and clear the transmission crossmember.

PPG uses something similar. I think all the paint manufacturers have them for their shops. I like HOK's because it catches the light nicely from different angles.

Hood is on, front and rear spoiler is on. I had to do a mock up at this point and just put a couple bolts in here and there.
If was a good feeling to see all my ideas coming together right in front of me.
The car looked big and long sitting inside the shop. Funny thing is, as soon as i pushed it outside and it was near other vehicles it looked small.

Just wondering... can you flip the top of the spoiler 180 degrees? Thinking it might flow better with the lines of the car?

My Dad was a Mopar guy, so I know it's a Mopar piece but it just doesn't work for me as is... maybe if it mirrored the shape of the rear signal opening or line up with that rear quarter seam?

Just throwing it out there for thought and conversation... love everything else you're doing with the car ... honestly, as far as the spoiler goes, it's not my car and I'm a Pontiac guy so what do I know!

Great Mopar build. :thumbsup: I'm definitely watching this one, some cool stuff you're doing.
I read where you talked about maybe having to massage the passenger seat a bit. I've got Scat seats with Scat brackets in my Camaro and I cut two notches of the ears on the brackets off so that there was only one notch left for the bolt. I called the company before I did any cutting and they said it would not affect the integrity of the remaining ear/bracket. I did it so I could get my seats as close to the floor as possible.

Back onto the lift to get the rear anti sway bar installed and finish welding up the stuff on the under side of the car.
Then it will go back on the rotisserie for the final body work and paint.

The cell phone is just so much handier for taking pictures.

Which one is the Viper Very Orange Pearl and which one is the Arancio Argos?

The short stick is the VVOP. The VVOP looks damn near the same except basecoat/clear and is less expensive.

Both colors look great! If cost is a factor, the VVOP would get my nod for looking fantastic and being less expensive. But I'm cheap like that.

These pictures, like in all other pictures of wild colors, don't do it justice.

I'm really happy with the color choice.

Final block sanded, scuffed, taped and tech cleaned.

I keep focus on this Dart I really like this project.
I have just sold my 68 Mustang and got a chance to buy a 71 Dart.
I have never had any Mopar maybe it's time to get one.
The front suspension looks pretty nice.
How about the rear? Is there any existing coil over suspension on the market?

RMS makes a 4 link for the rear which is a pretty nice setup. Most people just make their own though.

Windshield is in and to me it made the car come together more.
I have A LOT of stuff to do yet. Trim pieces need to be painted, hood latch and grill need to be painted and put on... the list goes on and on.

I'll be buying little stuff like weather stripping, sound deadening, interior stuff as time goes on.

Maybe I'll be able to roll it outside this winter and get some pictures, but I'm guessing it might not be until summer.

SO, what's the power plant? LA, B, RB or what?

Roller LA, cubes are undecided but at least 360 because thats the base motor.

I'm planning on a 408. But we shall see when the time comes.
A Procharged 360 has crossed my mind. A Procharged 408 would be even better.

No plan yet. Probably some Autometer series gauges unless something else pops up that looks like a better option.

That's a trip seeing the Cuda hood on it! Looks great. Any updates on the engine? I've got a LA 360 stripped down that I was planning on building a 408 out of but haven't picked out any parts yet.
keep it up!
