I stumbled back across this thread and thought I would provide a little bit of closure. The summer after high school I worked at an auto shop that raced Miatas on the side. I got hooked on the idea of having my own little go kart from the street. It was quite the dramatic shift for me, and high...

Like I said in the post above, since I went to college I haven't visited the site. I have still been doing stuff here and there while I'm home. I'll try to update the best I can with everything I've done since my last post to the best of my memory. I went to Carlisle in 2016 and picked up a...

Hey, sorry I haven't been back on the site since I went to college despite continuing my project during breaks. I got the 9.25 from a friend who picked it up at Carslile under the impression that it was a Dana. So I have no clue what it came out of. I did not have to move the perch mounts or...

The drips from the radiator don't worry me anymore. But I do have a story. I went cruising with a friend today. I had just pulled off the highway and was going up a hill and i feel the car sputter and die. I pulled over to the side of the road just past a driveway and turned on my hazards. My...

What mufflers do you have on your car? It sounds great! Great pictures

I'm not sure. Where would I look for any part numbers? When I had the engine out I flushed out the radiator with water until only clear water came out. I never had any problems with overheating before.

I believe I have a 190 degree thermostat. The radiator is a 26 inch that came with the car when I bought it. The fins are in good shape. All I did was cleaned it up and hit it with light paint to make it look nice.

Well then I'll give it a shot. Most of the time I'm around town unless if I'm out cruising to a show.

After I parked today I noticed a steam of drops leading to under the car. The radiator overflow (I have it routed to the ground like back in the day) is dripping a decent amount. It is 75 degrees out with a real feel temperature of 82. The car was running at 200 degrees. I don't have a radiator...

Another option would be to look at firmfeel but I have pretty much completely ruled them out due to the extreme price increase from the other options. Any other comments on Hellwig vs ADDCO?

I posted this exact thing in my build thread (http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/a-proper-intro.112011/) with no replies. I figure someone might have some better ideas here. On the topic of sway bars.... I'm looking at either ADDCO reproductions from Classic or the more expensive...

Everyone I spoke with said that 3.23s are the perfect gear. Personally, I would like to go to a 3.50 something gear but only if I get a gear vendors overdrive as well.

3.23s are a dream on the highway. I can kickdown a gear and pass anyone without a problem

On the topic of sway bars.... I'm looking at either ADDCO reproductions from Classic or the more expensive but a little beefier Hellwig Motorsports tubular bars also from Classic. Does anyone have any experience with either of those/advice in terms of sway bar thickness? Another concern of...

Yesterday was a good day. I went to a Mopar focused birthday party and then we all cruised to a bar. I watched over the cars while the adults partied. My pay was getting to drive the black 1971/1972 Roadrunner GTX in the pictures I'll post below. The car has the side markers of a 71 but the rear...
