Hi haven't been on here much since I sold the Dart and the Barracuda project stalled, but did manage to get a couple of half passes in my PITA slingshot project last month. Someone made a vid so I thought I'd stick it up just in case anyone's interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU9QYkdmvj0 n...

sounds like mine that I sold a couple of months back...

That is a result! Mine's just arrived from Florida, and I'll still need to overhaul the diff and get a suregrip in there...

One of my favourite films, a lot because of how relentlessly unpleasant the Jon Don Baker character is, he's like a kind of cowboy Terminator.

"I didn't travel six hundred miles for the amusement of morons. Is that clear, ladies?"

by the way, it's tempting to get the Addco bars when you see the price.

Don't, unless you want to spend ages reworking their brackets to successfully hold the bar where it should be

sorry I missed everyone, most of my time was with an interested punter showing him round the Dart, then I came back in as everyone else was leaving! Still, bought a massive Record vice for £20, some fuel hose and clips, and a steering wheel for the workshop wall for a fiver, so reasonably successful...

Interesting. I've got a David Vizard book on Ch*vy tuning and his theory is that you should start from LSA and calculate from there - he is of the opinion that cam makers know that we will always buy cams that are a bigger duration than we actually need, and so they usually increase the LSA to help ...

This is worth a watch if you're into that:



includes the famous story of over-lightening the roof through acid dipping if I remember correctly - ended up cutting the roof off a brand new Challenger from a nearby dealer to get through scrutineering!

http://www.hotrod.com/features/1412-bolt-in-six-link-rear-suspension-for-66-79-chrysler-a-bodies/ Probably costs a fortune, but all bolt in so good for the UK given our rules about chopping the chassis about. Funnily enough, I'd been trying to work out whether using longitudinal Watt's links like th...

and another recommendation for Ron, haven't shipped a car with him but several parts in the last few months and have saved a fortune, really helpful bloke

Thanks Matt - will ping the details over when I get home. Dom, the DVLA advised me to go ahead with an MoT knowing the full facts and didn't mention needing a NOVA, but as you say, could well be an issue once I've MoT'd it. But then I would have thought it is a reasonable argument to show the custom...

i reckon so long as you have the vin no the easiest way is get a letter from matt explaining what the vin decodes it as tell dvla it was an import from yrs ago but paperwork is lost and that you are willing if you havre to, to pay the duties on it at a value of say $2,000 at the 5% and they will so...

was originally light metallic blue, V8 four-speed

there was a thread on it when it was on ebay but I can't find it.

(maybe I should see if Matt volunteers his services, I don't want to be too pushy )

I used to tell myself that if it does turn out to be impossible to register, then as long as it isn't stolen, I won't mind and it will just be a race only car, not a road legal one. But having spent large amounts of this year pointlessly towing the slingshot back and forth from racetracks, I'm reall...

Here it is when I first found it in the back of Tim's Gasser Cave
