Woohoo!!! I got my 68 GTS on the road again!!

---

Nice ride. Is that a 440 or a stroker.

---

Thanks, guys.......It's a 14 to 1, 514" 400......

It's my race car that looks like a "resto geek" car.........

Roll bar, connectors, and driveshaft loop are going in next week.........

Quote:

---

It would make one heck of a sleeper. Except for the rumble of a 514" motor.

---

It sounds just like any F.A.S.T. car.........Has a Porter solid roller almost identical to Ed Cook's car.......... plus my car weighs a little less than his, and is a stick, so it should MPH pretty good......

Quote:

---

That is one nice Dart! Um, Wanna trade?

---

Here's how it looked two weeks ago.......

Quote:

---

If it wasn't for the deep pan it would look like a F.A.S.T. car. Nice ride!

---

Yeah, the pan is the Ed Cook Signature Series Edition.....

Yeah, I figured that since the intake and carb weren't legal, I'd go all out and go for the deep pan too.......

So i'm not gonna lie..when I saw the picture of the accident my heart dropped..I couldnt imagine wrecking mine. I love that car. I'm glad you got it fixed though...gotta love them dart gts's

---

Are you the same DartGirl from a few years ago? I haven't been on here much lately, so I'm sure I've missed that info......

---

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........

Oooooohhhh Yeeaahhhh The big one-two power shift

Looks Awesome Wayne

I've got a 68 Dart that has been painted for 10 years now.Never assembled it,I think it is getting to be time for something new.

I can't wait to hear how it runs Wayne.

---

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 a bad ride Wayne But the Kamikaze is waitin' for a little Sugar

---

Hey Pimp Daddy!!! It's coming along, slowly........at the paint shop right now........Car is straight and square........How's your Chevy/Mopar project coming along???

Quote:

---

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......

That car is absolutely perfect!

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!!!

Quote:

---

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.......

Thanks....... Something else pretty cool about it is that it's got glass fenders, glass front bumper, and bumper brackets..........

intriguing dont tell me its a single plane M-1 sculpted on the outside to look like a dual plane. if so pretty stealthy

---

You nailed it......... A good friend of mine fabbed up covers for the front and back......He also made some covers to go low, down, in the area between the two center bolts on both sides.......I just gooped the pieces on there with "the Right Stuff" and painted it.......I drilled and tapped the hole in the back of the intake for the power brakes and ran it out from under the cover........ the "square and flat on the sides" got me thinking

Where are you in Oklahoma??? bville, with a black 68 satellite and a 73 rust runner sitting in the driveway.

Here are a few pics.......

Cool......I think I know who you are now........Is it still black primer??? Runs in the 12's??? On the East side of 169?

---

not primer, dirty old black paint in need of some and east side of 75, stones throw from the Cadillac and Ford dealers. I dont think you mentioned rear springs. Super Stocks? I bet that thing will really work the suspention. Looking forward to seeing it run.

Nice Wayne, it wasn't Grant with the S10 was it?

---

Yeah, it was Grant.....Super nice guy and his 15 to 1 434" small block runs really well...... We both had a blast.......even had a little staging battle.... He's definitely got more in it, plus he's going to spray it in a few weeks..... so I better enjoy my spot at the top of Tulsa's Top Ten Street Cars while I can.....

So, what's Clark up to? Haven't seen you at the track in a while...... You're probably still 4 wheeling and partying like a rock star......

---

I know grant from back in tech school. He has mopar respect that goes way back, its good your keeping him in line .

Not been up to much. I keep saying I will get this car together and someday I just might. The car is actually ready for a motor I just need to put one together.

I need to get out to the midnights and see your hot rod run.
