very unique ratrod here.  it started out as a 1963 dodge m37 weapons carrier but has been morphed with a 1966 olds toronado to make a rear engine rat rod that gets lots of attention.  I will try and explain how we put this together and hopefully the pics will show the rest but you can ask any questions if you are unsure about anything.  the engine and transmission are pretty much all original other than the chrome etc..  runs great.  we removed the entire front frame clip from the toronado all the way back to the crossmember where torsion bars attach.  the steering was centered and the pitman arm was welded to frame and additional braces were added to hold steering linkage still.  this way tie rod adjustments can be made for fine tuning the wheel angles if needed.  we then notched m37 frame to fit and set it down over toronado frame clip welding wherever it was close enough to weld and adding reinforcement braces down each side.  the frame is very solid now maybe even a bit heavier than it needs to be.  it will handle enough torque to even pull the front wheels off the ground occasionally under hard acceleration.  for the front suspension we used a whole crosmember from a 1976 chevy half ton truck and it pretty much bolted right in.  the radiator with and electric fan is mounted in its original position up front and water is piped through metal tubes back to engine.. holds almost 7 gallons on antifreeze so very unlikely to have cooling problems even if fan didn't work.  the vehicle is roadworthy as it is, could use some tires, but all lights, steering etc good, brand new brakes all around, new calipers, wheel cylinders, mastercylinder etc.  seats were recovered.  I have original military canvas top that needs to be installed.  it is in good shape, but may need to be wet and stretched to fit just right.  I also have a tailgate and a new set of headers that are made to go straight up like on a boat that I will let go with it.  it has a good set of torque thrust wheels 5x5 on it. needs doorglass and has 1 cracked windshield  The state of GA does not issue title on vehicles this old so this truck will be sold with bill of sale and GA registration which is all that's required to get a title in another state.  you can verify this with your DMV if you'd like.

Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.

Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.

2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

We all knew That Kid. As a freshman, he was a big kid, overweight but surprisingly strong. Still, he was often picked on for his size. Then, he chatted with the football coach, who convinced him that his true calling was on the team's offensive line. After a season on the freshman squad and a summer of two-a-days, this mild-mannered, husky high schooler returned for his sophomore year as a big, imposing, solid piece of muscle. Needless to say, the same bullies that picked on him were praying he'd forgotten about them as a 10th grader.
That's the V8-powered 2015 Dodge Challenger. It arrived on the scene with a max of 425 horsepower and a bit of a weight problem. It completed its proverbial freshman year with a nice 2011 refresh, where the SRT8 was bumped up to 470 hp, but it still had some work to do.
Enter 2015, and fresh off three months of constant burpees and wind sprints, the newest Challenger is as big and powerful as it's ever been, but it's now got poise and potential, and my goodness, it's fun in a way that Dodge's muscle car has never been.
