Below are various shots of the car in different stages, some showing the changes I made and others just showing the car painted. Hope you enjoy Mike

Flip Top Gas Cap from 68 Charger
I saw this done to another Dart in Mopar Muscle and I thought I would give it a shot. I think it came out very good. |
Finished Trunk
After widening the wheel wells, it became obvious I needed to finish the trunk area, so my answer was to carpet the whole thing. |

Finished underside
Before the springs were moved the widest tire to fit under the car was a 245/60 , nowI run 295/50/15 with room to spare |
Fresh Motor
Can clean the car up without freshing the motor. Nothing major was done to it this winter, but Cathy still says she wants a tunnel ram or blower in the future. YEAH!!!

Painted
My good friend Jon and I painted the car. It is a metallic lapis paint with alot of metallic in it. We have never painted a car before and I think it came out pretty damn good. It only took 5 30 packs of beer to finish!!
Wet Sanding sucks, but it does make the finished product look great!
The motor goes in next weekend 4/17/04 |

Another view of the rear wheel/tires
I kept the rear end stock width and had a set of custom Cragar SS made from Stockton wheel. Thet are 15x10's with 7 1/2" backspace. They did a great job. |
