[Big Daddy]

Hi guys well i finally got my stuff from speed city, i have never done a build like this and can't find many pics i know there has been a few of you on here have built it, any help with pictures ,any tips would be greatly appreciated thanks

It would help if you told us what Ramcharger funny you're building......

[DrKerry]

Yes it would, what year car etc....

I am going to guess the 66 Dart

[Daddyfink]

Well, they ran a Dart, a Challenger and a Demon. Do any of these match what you seek?

They ran a 1969 Dart funnycar, 1970 and 1971 Challenger , 1972 demon and I believe they also had a 1973 ish Dart bodied car

PS, the 1970 and 1971 Challengers were 2 different cars, ( different grilles as well as different chassis designs )

Sorry not the 66, but Elapsed Times magazine now on the shelves has a nice article on the restored 72 Demon, Restored to original so it cannot be raced only a cackle car

And I think Car Craft did a Cut A Way on this car back then too

The Ramchargers ran a narrowed '67 Dart F/C, then they went just T/F till 1970.

[Daddyfink]

They ran a bit beyond 1970 with the Funny

[biscayne63]

Sorry, meant they didn't run a funny car after the '67 Dart till the '70 Challenger.

[Big Daddy]

Can anyone tell me the interior color for the 66 long nose dart i can't tell with the black and white photos, i think it is sort of a tan color but not sure

[Daddyfink]

The body was fiberglass and the interior was mostly aluminum panels. So, I would say it is bare fiberglass or white on the inside of the body with bare aluminum everything else.

[Big Daddy]

sorry about that i got 2 cars on the go and i got them mixed up i was reffering to the interior of the 65 guess i shoulda did 2 different posts

[biscayne63]

The '65 Coronet had the interior out of an A990 hemi sedan, which was goldish tan. Google search for pics of restored 1965 A990 Dodge Coronets or Plymouths Belvederes.

The August 1966 issues of Car Craft and Super Stock And Drag Illustrated had very good articles and pictures of the 1966 Dart. A book which has good photos and info on Chrysler drag cars is "Maximum Performance" Mopar Super Stock Drag Racing 1962-1969. Not very much on the AWB cars.
