    I'm not a HUGE fan of Bush right now, but don't be swayed by what the media "professes" to know about what's going on in Iraq. We're doing some pretty amazing things over there.

     

    That is all. smile.gif

  3. I saw one on ebay a while ago. Someone can correct me but I think it was a pretty large turbodiesel 4cyl. Definitely seemend like a cool combo.

     

    On a related note, I hear Jeep is bringing a turbodiesel option to the Liberty. (I saw a bunch of Liberty's in Germany last summer, so this decision from DaimlerChrysler seemed like an easy one to counter growing American distaste for high-consumption, high-gas price SUVs). It WILL also be offered in a manual transmission.

     

    Now, if they would just turbodiesel the Wrangler... smile.gif

    Set of painted camaro 10 spoke wheels for sale. The wheels are very clean and in perfect condition. Would like $300 for the wheels. SLP is selling them for 400 not including shipping and handling. Email me at gaff_faulk@hotmail.com if interested.

    Are they white like your car, or standard silver paint?
  5. I have a set of Mille Miglias for sale here, but slowly realizing that I really won't get a very good sale off of them. One has a bend from a curb, but still drives nicely. It just makes a bump-bump-bump in the steering wheel when you make a left turn (bend is on the inside part of the rim)

     

    Who locally can take a look at repairing this wheel? Also, does anyone know how much it would cost? THanks!

  6. Tinman, can you get me Cox Brothers Fabrication's number? I can't seem to get a listing in the yellowpages.

     

    BTW, thanx to everyone so far! FYI on dipping a unibody car: don't do it. Acid stays in the cracks and NEVER can get cleaned out enough not to damage any layer of paint you spray over it. One of the restorers I spoke with said they did four cars dipped, and after the fourth one they vowed never to do it again. The paint would bubble up within weeks of curing, and they'd have to prep and repaint the same area over and over.

    It will take 3 times the $$$ that it is worth to restore it. mopeds are high $ it fix up

    My friend and his dad worked on the Dart when he was in high school. We're now in our 20s and his father passed away. He's doing very well for himself so he wants to TOTALLY redo the car to keep for many, many more years.

     

    Randy, PM sent. BTW, I've heard that chemically dipping a unibody is NOT a good idea...acid remains in a lot of seams and you can NEVER fully clean it out. As a result, paint will never hold in the area. Any other body/machine shops?!? smile.gif

  8. He replaced the inner fender wells (that also support the shock towers) 10 years ago, but it's beginning to rust from sitting out in the weather so long. He is looking to restore it, but also get some better performance out of it (warmed-over slant-6, better automatic, polyurethane bushings, Wilwood front disc brake conversion).

     

    He doesn't want 9s, but he wants the best looking Dart on the road that will ride like a modern car. Believe me, he is very committed to doing this project right no matter what the costs are

  9. I just helped a buddy bring his old 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger Special in from his home in Antrim, to a garage locally where we are stripping it apart to totally restore it.

     

    As of this moment, we have doors, fenders, hood and trunk lid, interior out (except for dash and headliner) and the grille and bumpers off. It's clear that sitting next to a barn for the past 10 years has killed a lot of the car from the rocker panels around back to the rear leaf-spring mounts. The rest of the car is in great shape, save for the above-mentioned lower quarter part of the Dart.

     

    He wants to get this REALLY done well, and I need to know if anyone knows places/people, or has hook-ups to the following:

     

    >Chemical dipping (for body and panel restoration)

    >Great body shop (repair rust damage and replace old panels with new)

    >Machine shop (We're tearing down the 225 Slant-6, and he wants to bore it out .030, along with milled heads and a valve job)

    >Paint shop (Coat the repaired car in a beautiful shade of some paint).

     

    Please...any and all recommendations accepted! smile.gif
