DodgeAddict Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 In my chair I leaned back one evening & was staring at the Hemi Dart sitting on it & thought I know what I'll do with those two (I was thinking of the two L700 transporters I have started) & soon I had dug out 5 Dart kits & 3 Barracuda kits The teams as it stands now will be 68 440 A/T Dart 68 426 A/T Dart 68 426 M/T Dart & 69 A12 RoadRunner 69 426 A/T Barracuda 69 426 M/T Barracuda Here's some of the pics so far Here's the other transporter with the same Dart The sleeper setup will be different on the other transporter Here's some of the cars so far The two Hemi Darts are mini tubbed with the springs relocated the same way as Mopar said to interiors built & suspensions built Here's one of the Barracudas More pics as the parts & builds come closer together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtx6970 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I have been thinking of something very similar. And am going to keep a close eye on these builds But, have to ask, how about some details on the frame work to get the cab to fit the bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgeAddict Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 And car #2 has front tires & wheels mounted Since it's going to be a automatic car I'm cutting the 440/A/T block open where the heads go on & make a Hemi out of it car #3 will be 440 4 speed with a Dana 60 also which will be the original Hemi/4 speed with 440 heads & intake I will probably build them both tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slammed1 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 This build inspired me to open my Dick Landy 440 car and start on it. It also made me reevaluate a couple of my 1/18 diecast Hemi Darts I have and also transporter Ideas I have had floating around. Thanks for the pics and inspiration.
