What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[Traumahawk]

It's going in a 1967 Dart GT, not a clone but a real GT

All I can say is .....DAMN!!!! That should pin you in the seat at full throttle.

 

[HyperPete]

That's going to take a shoehorn to fit!

 

[Fire-medic]

Raise the cherry-picker up before you release the tension, it will fit!:rofl_200:
They made Dart GT's w/the slant 6 too. (early models)

One of my high-school classmates had a '68 Dart GTS in our senior year, but his father was a Mopar dealer in SW MI. It was a 340. It ran great. Some cool reading for you Mopar guys: http://www.hagerty.com/price-guide/1968-Dodge-Dart

At some point we're going to have to get a good block to rebuild the 69 six pack road runner we have.

I fabbed a taillight/license plate bracket for my rear-fender-less Vmax. Started with a 1/8" X 4" X 4" X 4.5" long piece of aluminum L-angle. I like the position of the light and the red reflection in the top edge of the sissy bar. Still need to fab a close-out but love getting back to my aircraft sheet-metal-mechanic roots.

Looks like some NAS1149 bolts though the uppers have way more grip length then needed!

I all ready setup to fit right in, I work on it over the summer. It had a 340 in it.

Even have my Mom cars 63 plymouth valiant slant 6 with the push button shift. cover up in the barn.

My brother has My pops 72 Eldorado 500cc bored 30 over tunnel 660cfm x2. kinda like a show car. Crazy front wheels burn out.

Sean I have 1970 440 block it has to be dip and clean not crack...
I sold the heads and crank rods water pump off it. Had the complete motor few months ago. It's bored 30 over.

I was wondering why those crazy headers, now I know. I found a photo of a Dart GT with a big block. I'm drooling!!

Wow nice setup, yes it will look just like that in the car.

I may piss on my self when I put my foot in to it.

Itll probably be like the big block Maveric I saw at a car show over the summer. Wish I could find the pics of it... saw a 440 powered Daytona last year at the Woodward Dream Cruise too that I cant find pics off either, lol. Too many damn memory cards laying about, lol.

Hey guys its been a while.. :smoke000:

I got both of my vmax's out of storage and ran them hard. Changed fluids and polished them up.

I spent my entire summer removing and rebuilding the cummins from my E350 so I barely had time to enjoy them.

I still have to find and replace the intercooler and install a 12 cm exhaust housing, so the bikes all go into their new heated basement since the wife and kids just moved out.

Anyway.. Just wanted to touch base and say hi!unk:

 

[Traumahawk]

I swapped the 2 inch competition baffle from the kerker 4-1 to a 2.5 inch one. It made a HUGE difference in the sound. It has more of a rumble now.

I've had a busy few days. I completely stripped down my 97 V-Max so that I can get the frame powder coated before the PCW 1500 shows up. I took the 98 Max that I purchased last summer to repair and resell and pulled the motor as2ond gear is gone. I put the motor from my 97 Max in it. I just rebuilt the carbs for it and am ready to install them. I also had to replace the fuel tank. At one point I had a slight anxiety attack when I looked around the garage at all the parts from two broken down V-Max's I labled and boxed everything up from the 97 and put it away out of sight and that seemed to help. I think I should have the 98 polished and ready for sale in two days.

Second hand but it's getting a once over from PCW so it should be good to go!

 

[jagco1]

Install new clock handle bar mounted, Install new upper front brake line change the color to black and the lower 2 lines I lift blue. Bleed the front brakes. I will do the clutch line tomorrow if the weather not to cold.

A pic of the vmax little house for the winter I have see through plexiglass for the sides and heater trips will be mounted on the inside.

I have few more items coming in soon I hope.
Man me keep order stuff for the bike.

I have a big bore kit pistons JE forge, rings, sleeves, cylinder heads front and back, cam chains, valve springs, I may be selling here soon if the guy local don't follow through. I bought this stuff thinking i needed it.

I put it away yesterday after a freakish 68' day. It's a sad day to winterize your boat for the season, then it's even sadder when you have to pack your Vmax into hibernation for the winter. That tease of a day is gone and snow is back into the forecast. I envy you retired guys who haul them south for the winter or just plain live in warm southern states! I won't see mine until April or whenever the frame eating salt washes off the roads in the spring. Sleep tight Max......... (sniff sniff)

 

[Biker Dash]

I got one final ride in on Woona today. Temps were near 60*, and I took advantage of this for the final few hours of riding this year.
I should go grab a couple pieces of carpet from somewhere to place under the tires, just because I hear that they should not set directly on the concrete for too long. (why is that, anyways?)
