Got some progress in lowering it. Hoping to get some slicks on it soon. I also cut some excess junk out. I removed the fuel tank from underneath and will pop it in the back seat like a fuel cell.

Been busy! Added the blower from a camara kit. I used the original belt setup for the 383 from the dart kit. I then took the belt setup for the blower, and cut it to blend into the 383. Can't even tell.

I got the lines from an verizon phone charger that dodmt work. Had some white green red and black lines in it. You could use em for wires or hoses as they vary in size.

Hood fits now that have of its gone :D

II forgot to mention I transplated the dart gts firewall into the jeep. I also used a parts box starter as a brake booster :P

Cut the fuel tank off the bottom and transplanted it up to after covering the whole with styrene.

Cut out the huge center console hump and covered it with styrene.
