Its great to see the car out on the road and running good with no issues! It will be easier to make improvements to it when you can still drive it! We have a show in Ontario Canada called Moparfest ( largest gathering of Mopars in Canada) that we enjoy going to for motivation and different ideas for my e-body! Its great when your wife is on board with the hobby because you can share a common interest! Keep the videos coming!
TONY! Why did you plant that in my head? It's only 10 hours from me. I could totally make that trip. Now I have to add it to the bucket list of things like MoParty and Hot Rod Power Tour. Not till the car is done though. Lol! In all seriousness. Thank you. I was not aware of that and it would definitely be a blast. You are not my only Canadian viewer and it would be cool to meet some of you!
Hey Jeff. It wasn't that long of a drive, about 60 miles round trip. I haven't filled up again so I have not calculated my milage yet. Even keeping my foot out of it, I am not expecting fantastic milage. It is a 360 after all. Lol.
Thanks! I used Plasti-Dip on the grille and emblems. That way they're not "ruined." Just gotta peel it off and it's back to original. I contemplated a 20:1 as well but I think I want a 16:1. Wish there was a way to test before I buy.....=/
@@MontsweagGarage awesome! i had thought about using plastidip as well. im going for hot rod black for the body and all the chrome is going to be gloss black. I agree to as for wanting to test things out before you buy, only in a perfect world lol. keep up the good work, i love seeing the progress on the dart!!
Sweet vid amigo!! I loved the show and glad you got finished in time to participate. All the hard work is paying off. I got to get out to one around northern Indiana, Auburn has a bunch yearly. The boobs trick was hilarious, hee hee, and lil one reminds me of Sheba. Looking 4ward to the next video, the car is ready coming along!!
Thanks Joe! It's funny you mentioned Sheba. As Hazel gets older, there are times when she does things that immediately remind me of Sheba, especially when she jumps up in my lap and demands attention. Lol.
Just a note on the aspen rear end. I have one in mine and they are slightly wider on the spring perches. You can twist your springs out to fit but they are slightly different. Also the spring pin hole is larger on the aspen. Good way to get to a BBP rear end though. I am upgrading mine to an explorer 8.8 but that's mostly because mine is a 7.25 not the 8.25
Hello Benjamin! Thanks for the info. I was researching on rear ends and I think I saw the Aspen info on For A Bodies Only. I have also considered an 8.8 out of an exploder. I have the 7.25 Suregrip in the Dart at the moment and I am pretty sure it will hold up if I don't beat the crap out of it. Good to know the Aspen 8.25 isn't just plug and play.
@@MontsweagGarage yeah the 7.25 is not bad. I beat on mine with the 318. The main thing is too much tire will get you. The 8.8 is probably the best value for a real beefy rear though.

The wifey looks nice dressed up in the MOPAR stuff at 10:41
She's warming up to the MOPAR thing. She'd rather be working on a VW Bug though. Lol.
Good video as always. How far did yall drive? What was your milage?

love it! what did you use to black out your grill? i heard the 20:1 steering box is a good middle from the 16 and 24, best of both worlds!

I love the murdered out look. You'll have to share pics when you are done!

Is yours open or a Suregrip? I want to make a pass or two down the local dragstrip but don't want to dump rear end oil over all over the track. lol.
@@MontsweagGarage The original was open. The volare has a suregrip. Never been on the drag strip just the street.
@benjaminkadron I was just curious. I appreciate the info! Thanks.
