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

The sleeper setup will be different on the other transporter

The two Hemi Darts are mini tubbed with the springs relocated the same way as Mopar said to

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

I'm making a list of materials to buy to finish all my custom builds that I'm doing

When I get them I'll be on the build for at least 12 projects to get them to paint

I'm stopped on some till I decide what Evergreen stuff I'm buying

My hardest decision is what colors to paint them all

Here's an update on the progress & a shout out of thanks to jrherald420 for the hoods & midnightprowler for the rest of what you see in the pic below

jrherald420 also hooked me up with 68 Super Stock Charger hood that I'll have to build a car for now :D

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

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.
