Drove the Dart for the first time, whoohooo!!
« on: April 08, 2007, 10:12:29 AM »

Well i finally drove the Dart for the first time yesterday, as they used to say "it's a gas" didn't go far, didn't go fast, but it was still a sweet ride, BOV whooshing, turbo whining like my EX used to do LOL, gears a changing, man it's been a while since i had go pedal that would make something go Cheesy

This is Chad's old car, he built it so i won't take the credit for building it, (but i won't take any blame either  LOL LOL ) did sorta put the missing pieces back together.

Many Thanks to Chad for letting me pick his brain and all the questions he answered for me thank you

Now to start tuning it, the hard part, may take time, but it will run way better in the end.

By the way, the 440's  motorinstall going back in the Demon Monday, two running big block darts,who'd uh thunk it

Congrats man. Yes it was a fun hairy ride. If i had the funds to keep doing it, i might have kept it. But its good to see it went back together and wasnt parted out after all like it almost was. Have fun and i will answer what i can for you anytime. Now, back to my model T........
