My "Other" Project

[QuarterHorse]

Well I have several hobbies, and have been into drag racing and hot rods since I can remember. Thought I'd share what is stealing some of the V-Max Mod money.

1967 Dart 2 Door Post Project

When I got it

The 8.25 Rear End it came with

It's GONE!

Moving leaf springs inboard to mini tub it.

Stock Location for the leafs

Cut into the frame to mount the box to mount the leafs in.

The difference

The Dana 60 Install

The disc set up for the rear should be on soon, like in a few days.

Anyway, thought some of you may be interested. Muscle bikes and muscle cars.

That's excellent!!unk: I love working on and modding out the older cars. Wish I had room in the garage for a project like that right now.

 

[QuarterHorse]

Yeah I'm a little spoiled with the garage. I'm selling the boat and buying a bigger house since my wife is 6 months pregnant. Everything in my price range is a smaller garage than what I'm working with. Oh well, the boat will be going, so I won't need AS much room.

Hopefully the floors/body is done by November, and I can start getting color on it.

 

[QuarterHorse]

Well the brakes are mounted up.

It's rolling again!

Just in time to go to the chassis shop next week.

My project car back home is one that i came home from the hospital in... a 1972 mercury comet gt with a mild 351 windsor in it. He needs a little work, but for being built in 1982 when my dad was dead *** broke lol, i don't think that 8.40's in the 8th are too shabby. The c6 vette that i tangled up with last time i was hope sure as hell didn't think so either unk:

 

[QuarterHorse]

Those are awesome. I'm a Ford guy at heart, this is my first Mopar. I aboslutely LOVE the Maverick/Comet's. 8.40's aren't too shabby at all. I'm hoping the B Block set up I'm going to run in my Dart runs what my 306 did in my last Mustang on the jug. Drag Radials on the spray the Mustang was running 6.80's in the 1/8th, lets hope the Dart does it N/A, with the jug in the trunk shooting for 6.0's in the 1/8th.

we've got a whole yard full of projects that will never get finished lol. i've also got a black 70 comet gt that has a straight body but needs pretty much everything. And a hollowed out 66 fairlane 500 2dr hardtop that was given to me by a friend. has a little crunch in one of the front fenders, but it has a 9" with 5.13's and a spool. Man i wish that i had the time and money to get that thing going. I've always loved that body.
