I sold my 69 Dodge Dart a couple of years ago. I then started this project 1968 Dodge Dart and it is almost ready for some racing. The engine is 533 cubic inches. Indy block, CNC 345 Indy heads, T&D rockers, Bryant crankshaft, Oliver rods, Diamond pistons, Comp roller cam. RPM data logger and digital dash. RMS front end. Carbon-fiber hood with real hand painted gold leaf.

Nice machining on the motor plate. Make sure it clears the oil pump. My Chassis Engineering plate had to be notched for my Milodon pump and lines.

Thank you! The hood is from www.cynergycomposites.com. A super guy and good looking hood. Trimming the hood was a little nerve wrecking.

No dyno numbers yet! The car weight is a guess at this point. Around 3k with me in it.

Thanks, I have another customer that I'm building a big C.I.(572) pump gas EFI street hemi motor for his 1970 Challenger that we will put in one of Bills Alterkation front ends in up
The other customer with the Dart is in the information services business so he uses the internet to gather information on all of his car decisions, he has found another brand at a $1000.00 cheaper price so he is leaning towards that one shruggy
I'll get the name of it and see if any one on here has used them or not work

Have him do some research on those other brands and he'll find those have failed. RMS may cost more but repairing damage due to a front end failure will cost way than the grand saved.

Your car looks awesome. I hope mine is half as nice when it's done. Do you have any pics of how you did your window net? I'm looking for ideas on how to do mine.
