Hey Big country, yes they are-- ran into some clearance issues as well only have 1/4 " on both sides at the front of the tire, still running them but have rubbed and even peeled off a pc off the wheel lip moulding. Might space the front spring hanger back another 1/4 " or maybe do as you have...

Thanks for that Kid, it is a whole new experience driving this B body after driving A Bodies for a number of years--I must say I really like the ride and the feel of torque from that big ol 440 when the front and rears kick in, few bugs to work out yet but other than that going to be a fun...

Nice to hear your making progress on your Dart Dave, been wrestling with the throttle lever adjustment on my tranny, so no burnouts till I get that right, had a bog on the get go so --put a larger squirter and more aggressive accelerater pump cam that got rid of that problem-Also got a leaky...

Finally get to post my completed A12 , its wearing its "attitude" tires that give the car a whole new personality--old school like me.

I must confess, I too watched this A12 and was it not for the lady of the house questioning my sanity and the fact that I already have a recently completed A12 Bee I would have been bidding on that car and would definately have left the body as a cool survivor as one like that does not come...

Thanks for that London A12, I hang out with a bunch of Chebby guys, and usually take the brunt of chryco ribbing, was fun to put a few of them in the runner up category this time lol

Thanks , probably see you out and about soon while cruizing around this area.

Well I entered and showed the Bee at the Mega Speed Custom Car and Truck show in Toronto this past weekend and the interest was overwelming. Was in with some pretty high end built stuff and the factory stock bee came out of smelling like a rose. It won best 60's Street Stock Award As well as...

Thanks for your compliments guys---appreciate it.

I will get a flick of it running soon, just been busy with all the final little things--interior is complete, kind of funny made sure got paint on the manifolds like the factory did for originality and that was gone at startup in about 10 minutes quite the smoke show lol. Finished the final cut...

Welcome Bob, Im just down Hwy 5 from you, probably see you around. Cheers

Love my little 416 smalley 6 pack Dart, runs 11.50's all day long with no issues--wouldn't have it any other way. 11.40's this year it's been on a diet lol

Got the rad back in the car full of anti freeze --no drips all is good, now I can prepare to fire it up. Got a tip on dyeing the seat belts from hunt2elk so I did that and hung them up to dry in the same horney fashion.Got carpeting and seats to install this week then start the thing up, cut and...

Worked at getting the stock exhaust kit installed on the bee, got to give the guys at Gardner Exhaust a tip of the hat as they run a class act, I could not believe how nice and exact everything fit and lined up, even the fit to the manifolds was bang on flush--install was breeze all hangers...
