Looks great. I really like the color too.
So, is the driver's side exhaust manifold factory stock or modified like the ones you could get from Accurate, or something in between?
It's modified.........I got it from Accurate, but I didn't like where the pipe exited, so I cut it off and moved it to where it needed to be.......From them, it pointed from the block right at the torsion bar and there wasn't enough room to make the turn and go back under the starter........

Thanks, Tommy...... What color is your Dart??? What motor is going in it???
I LOVE the BIG 1-2 PowerShift!!!........I hope to be at the track within the next couple of weeks........I'm shooing for 128MPH+ ......... My F6 Bee ended up running 122MPH carrying 400 more pounds with less compression and cylinder head, on a hard tire.........I figure the sticky tires are typically worth 2MPH and 400LBS should be worth 4MPH.......

That's potentially the coolest Dart I've ever seen. Wicked.
Thanks.......I bought the car from the original owner in Brandenburg, KY, in 1987 when I was 15 for $1,000..........It's my first car......even drove it to high school.........
Back in 04, it was running a pump gas 438" 383 with a small solid, Straightline cam.......Car ran high 11's at 112MPH on M/T ET Street's..........I took this pic right before I wrecked it......

My car is black.Was planning on a little 383 with a little bit of compression,little solid cam and some decent heads.My car will be FAST legal but not a real effort.More or less I'll be using up some old parts.I'd be happy with 12.5s or so.
Cool....Is it a GTS? What color stripe?....I almost went the F.A.S.T. route with this car, but since the events are so far from me and I really wanted the car to be in the 125MPH range or faster, I decided against it because I don't think I could get it there while being F.A.S.T. legal........ and unlike you, I'm not loaded with cash-holio to where I can have 10+, race ready cars!!!

What size tires are on the back of your car Wayne?
They're 27X10.5 Hoosier Quick Time Pro's on 7" rims..............The've got a 9" tread width.......I actually borrowed them from a good friend of mine off his red '68 for mock up and to see if I liked the size......I'm going to buy a set of Centerline Auto Drags the exact same size and offset and paint them black with the same tire.......

No it's not a GTS.Just a silly little 6 cylinder car.The car is super solid though.I was gonna make a Hemi clone, bought a whole bunch of stuff for it but the Hemi isn't in the cards right now. So a little 383 is gonna have to do. I bought a red stripe for it years ago but I'm a big fan of black stripes on a black car.
