I am building a 1:1 1968 dart pro street car..

I got this dart in on a trade with a whole bunch of other cars.. This is going to be a exact replica of my own dart.

I've been working on it for about a year now off and on... I just recently got going on it again.

I bought a custom made chassis for it along with a cowl hood.

Custom suspension with 4 link and coil overs

Pro street wheels and tires

I am currently having a engine built from a experienced builder... He is building it to every last detail I say... Chrome Fabbed valve covers, oil pan ect ect .. all custom with a 727 auto trans.

He is also doing all the wiring and plumbing on the engine.... so it is a exact replica of mine.

I was VERY lucky to start out with such a clean car, Car was a Mr.Norm Big Block GTS car that was slowly wasting away... It is the black one in the first pic...

Hope Everybody enjoys it, I don't have any pics from earlier in the build.. I like getting built cars so I can restore it like a real car. let me know if you have any... I would be happy to take them off your hands

I got the inner fenders in today from my donor car, I took them out a while ago thinking I was going to need the room for a turbo ...

I had to trim the frame a little so it would fit together good. Take a look.. I need to get skinnier front wheels

This is going to be an awesome build.. looking forward to seeing more.

Like Reeve's Racing asked, any pictures of real car?

nice build. both of them! nice to see another 1:1 pro street mopar on the forum. the 1:1 has got a lot of metal taken out. was it an X-race car or did you do all the drilling? looks like a small block with turbo(s)? I will keep an eye on this build. cant beat a mopar, let alone a pro street mopar!

have a great day,

Tubbs
