Great work Duddie. Are you planning on hacking into those wheel openings to clearance for tire? Please, please PLEASE... don't ever remove that Johnny Cash sticker from the bumper, that is EPIC!!!
Yes, Those Quarters are getting hacked a lot to fit the future tires. It wont be pretty. Don't worry about the Sticker, It's the best part of the car! Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
I just learned this today. I had never heard of that. I think the Summit Racing numbers are opposite...... I think Ha Ha. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
Well I see the wire wheel has finally been replaced after all these years 😆 If memory serves me right, the new one has been sitting next to it for about a year. Good job Remy !
We had to make sure to use every last little piece of wire on that wheel before replacing it. Remy worked the hardest in this video. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
Awesome car man! 4-door cars make the best drag racers, reserve the shiny 2-doors for trailer queens and the car shows. All Mopar A-bodies MUST be saved, regardless of EVERYTHING else....
Another way that helps figuring out which side is which, is to remember that people that drive Mopars, are odd. As in, MOST of the time, odd part numbers go on the drivers side of the car. Even go on the passenger side. There are rare exceptions, but they are rare.
I had never heard of this until today. Good information to have. Based off the Summit racing number #P4120863 (Right Rear) #P4120864 (Left Rear) and the description I think I installed them right. The problem is........ I think I ordered the wrong Super Stock springs hahaha Story of my life! Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
Super Stocks are Remy approved obviously... the look of overheated and despair around the 10:30 mark tells a story...Keep at it Duddie...you got this!!!
The Texas Heat was intense! The Regret was REAL! But good thing Remy approves, she is very chatty when i'm attempting to work. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
A animal yes........ a "New" animal, that's subjective. A least all the new shiny parts are being covered up by the old ratty body! Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
I don’t know if you have shocks yet but pick yourself up some competition engineering drag shocks front and rear. They are very cost effective and work great! We run 11s on them. This car will be awesome when done. Keep up the great work buddy
All Mopar parts that are odd numbered are Driver side and all even numbered part numbers are passenger side. At least that's how is was from the factory back in the day.

Good Idea, I will have to measure them. It was very strange that the replacement bushing didn't fit, because I could not find anything that said they weren't factory size. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
Looking good so far. I'm putting the same B-body 8 3/4 rear end under my A-body 72 Demon. Waiting to see how yours turns out !!! 318willrun put this same rear end under his Duster and it seems to fit OK. Hoping I don't have to take a sawzall to my wheel well openings !!!
I don't think you will have a problem,, the 1970 and up Demons, Dusters, and Dart Sports have much larger and flared quarters compared to a 1969 Dart. The 60's Dart Quarters have very narrow wheel wells. I will be cutting the crap out of mine hahaha. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching
i don't know if it is the exact part you need or not but rockauto has them under leaf spring bolt. looks like it comes with a leaf spring bushing. ACDELCO 45G17011
Good Idea, I was in a hurry and I had done this trick before on my Offraod trucks. But I will need to get some better bushing in the future. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
Nope, It's not just you. Im fixing up the car purely to preserve the Bumper Stickers. They are Vintage, Classic, Rare and are definitely worth more then the car haha Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
I actually don't know. You may google search Mopar Rear Axle dimensions. There are a few good charts floating around that can tell you the width of the F-Body axle versus your 65 Dart axle. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
8:44: It looks like you're trying to use A-body bushings in B-body Super Stock springs. Yes, while all Super Stock springs are technically A-body springs in length, the higher rated ones (the ones with a description such as, "Fits: 3800 lb. car weight w/Automatic Transmission") are considered B-body Super Stock springs and will have a 1-inch I.D. rear eyelet. In other words, you need MOOG part # K7308. But that was a year ago, and looks like Gorilla tape is now cross-referenced to that part number in the MOOG catalog. 🙂 Edit: Also, to just make everything simpler (if it can be simpler than Gorilla tape), and you want to just throw money at the problem, you can just get the Mancini Racing Conversion Shackle Set which let's you "Easily put a B Body Super Stock Spring on your A-Body."
Good to know, I completely forgot that I did that. I might need to check on those to see how the Gorilla Tape is wearing haha. Appreciate it and Thanks For Watching!
Please remove and clean out the vent cap on your 8.75 rear axle. Sand from the pressure washing episode may be hidden and clogged up in there. Don't want to possibly shorten the life of your new bearing's.
Excellent dude. Tape it together and send it. Thanks for watching...
It's gorilla Tape so it's certified! Appreciate it and .....................Well you know the rest......
Good thing I got that 3rd member built!
Yeah, Blue Tooth 8 3/4 don't work well.
Thank God for the Dodge Whisperer!
😂😂
No kidding , This car would never run if he wasn't around. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!

Nicely done. Take care ✌️
Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
👍👍👍
Glad you finally got around to watching this episode Jaybo
I thought even numbers, right side, odd numbers drivers side. Probably wrong. Either way I'll crack open another beer and enjoy the show.
I just learned this today. I had never heard of that. I think the Summit Racing numbers are opposite...... I think Ha Ha. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!

The look of severe regret at 10:29 is evident
The Texas Heat and Regret were REAL that day. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
Well done. Can’t wait to see the next one.😎😎
Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!

Very nice hardware! Car is going to be a new animal!

Glad to see someone else has an annoying shop cat too.
Remy The Shop Cat is a ruthless overlord of the shop and makes sure that everyone knows she is there haha Appreciate it and Thanks For Watching!
That’s a solid car. Nice build
Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
I don’t know if you have shocks yet but pick yourself up some competition engineering drag shocks front and rear. They are very cost effective and work great! We run 11s on them. This car will be awesome when done. Keep up the great work buddy
I will have to look into that. I was planning on running some Clapped out truck shocks haha Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!

Buen trabajo duddie saludos
¡Aprecialo y gracias por mirar!
Good presentation
Presentation is key, when work ability fails.
Looked like a hot day.
It brutal out here in this Texas Heat! Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
What size eye is on those springs. If they are 1 inch then you can use the bushings from a Ramcharger. But you need to know the size of the eye ID
Good Idea, I will have to measure them. It was very strange that the replacement bushing didn't fit, because I could not find anything that said they weren't factory size. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!

Thanks! I will check that part number out! Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
Just measure the id of the springs and call summit or take a road trip to Arlington.
Good Idea, I was in a hurry and I had done this trick before on my Offraod trucks. But I will need to get some better bushing in the future. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
Is it just me or does anyone else think the bumper stickers are more valuable that the car?
Nope, It's not just you. Im fixing up the car purely to preserve the Bumper Stickers. They are Vintage, Classic, Rare and are definitely worth more then the car haha Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
Would a rear end out of a 83 f body new Yorker/ 5th Ave fit in one the older darts say like a 65 model with out modifications?

Dog=spelled backwards ?

Don't worry, There wasn't a vent cap on the axle when I blasted it. It was fully stripped down. Appreciate it and Thanks for Watching!
