COOL Evan! You got your cage in! Looks awesome!

[mopowers]

It's not finished by any means.  But the hard tubes are in.  All the others should be a lot easier.  I'll send you some more progress shots next weekend.

Those wheels and tires look badass Billy!!  Are you planning on driving that bad boy on the street when shes done?

Sorry,No street car here this time.. all Bracket car.....but the rear tires are not the ones I will be running..those in the pics are 28x10x15..I will be using a 29.5 x 12 x15 with about 1 1/2 clearance on both sides

I have a 64 that had a 383 in it, till I dropped a valve in #1   

Very cheaply home made parts but it works. I'll try and get some links workin here.
Car ran 11.73 on the motor and 11.00 on 125 shot.

The new motor for this car is currently in the machine shop. Should be getting it back next saturday. Indy E-Z headed 451 stroker. 580 llift solid cam. Hoping for slightly over 600hp and 10.60s on the motor. Crossing my fingers!


The last pic is the 451 going in some time soon, got some engine compartment stuff to finish first.

  yea i had bought another black 64 but when we decided to move i sold it because i didn't have anywhere to put it and i would be able to do anything with it for a long time....    bbscamp ended up buying it .

[BillyJay]

Thanks IVOR... It has been a fun project..looking back there are a few things that i would have changed but you know you learn as you go.. the Next car i build will have all the "BUGS" worked out..somethings about the way i did the Chassis i dont like..so once I finish this one. I am going to find another 63 -64 Dart Convertable and build a full Round tube 4 Link Chassis,front to back...
