Question about Landy’s Hemi Dart
By jkinna
Hey all, I’m building a model of Dick Laney’s Hemi Dart and I’m seeing photos of his Hemi Dart with and without the GTS trunk trim plate. Some of the pictures I’m seeing may be incorrect restorations. I know the 440 Dart had the GTS trunk trim but did the Hemi Dart Landy ran back in the day have the trim or not? I’m assuming that the Dart shown in the attached picture with the trimmed wheel wells and the Hemi scoop is a Hemi car. Thanks for any help. John

Some info on rear suspension defects on many a bodies 67-76 .
By Oldmanmopar
I have been working on these cars for many years. When I switched from B-body and built an A-body car in the late 80's I ran into an issue heating the tires . The rear of the car car would always want to go to the left. So you needed someone to hold the car when heating the tires. The fix was to shim the right side leaf spring hanger back . I made shims and ended up using 3/8 in shims to correct it. Since that time I have built and restored several a-bodies. I found that may of... Read more

California rejoice!
By pishta
Gavin Newsome signed the jay leno law, that effectively allows pre 86 cars to bypass bi-annual smog tests in California! In order to qualify, you must register your pre 86 car as a 'classic' and keep mileage under 1K a year (yeah right!) so lets get those impossible to smog B motor Cordobas and Charger SE's out of the barns again! Now I can register my 83 B2000

By Moparman485
Good afternoon guys and gals! Finally located and got ordered a full kit repro go wing for my 1973 dart custom (with brackets included in kit). Figured I would ask the brainy ones if there were any pointers on installing her on a vehicle that never had a scoop to begin with. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Welp... Time to swap the motor.
By Cuprum-74
Couple of weeks ago I was on the freeway, I decided to pass a slow semi and floor it. Soon after I heard a god awful knocking from the motor and lost huge amounts of power. I limped home & took off the valve covers to check the valvetrain, which came out all right. Then I borescoped the cylinders to check them out. They all looked fine, no signs of a blown head gasket. So... I figured that left the crank area as the cuplrit... I hate being right sometimes. So it's a budget build roller... Read more

Rebuilt the 273 Commando in my 1966 Barracuda last winder. We got it done just in time to completed the Hotrod Power Tour in the car for the 2nd year in a row. Car ran great all summer until the cruise-in Saturday evening. When I returned home to the shop we had a coolant leak. After some investigating, we discovered the driver’s side head was cracked. Investigating getting the head welded. In case that’s not feasible, I’m searching for a replacement 2658920 closed chamfer set of... Read more

shots from the garage...
By A body
Not sure why... but I really had the motivation to work on the car yesterday. Mocked up the mounts and spacers, drilled and got the threaded inserts in place. Got the engine sitting in a correct enough position to where most of the header tubes align. Made an appointment with a local header guru to finish them up. I tried playing around with my welder on a few sections of header tubing, but I don't have a bottle and really couldn't get a good quality weld with the rosin core wire I have. I'm... Read more
