rikubot did you get the hub caps?

I may have one to sell. I'm deciding if I want to use the stock one or go a complete custom route.

Personally I wouldn't use connectors unless absolutely necessary. You're much better off, and safer, soldering and covering with heat shrink. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm thinking if I use it there would be a few changes. I would use hard pipe instead of that flexible stuff. I'm no engineer but I'm guessing the ribs would affect air flow. My other thought is to hook the pipes up through the front signals on the valance and...

1970 Dodge Charger

http://www.vararam.com/hemi.html Thinking about this since I have a 5.7 out of a truck. Does anyone have any experience with it?

That makes sense

Thanks guys. And keepat I hope you don't mind I'm going to use your idea for running lines in the inner fender. That's a great idea! I just picked this up not too long ago. 2007 5.7L Hemi from a Dodge Ram. The price was right...it was free.

I'm pretty sure 5.7 hemi is right. I haven't seen anything that says a Dakota came with that engine. Or did you mean Ram?

Thanks. Lots of mods we are doing to the car. Keep in mind this is over quite some time but I'm finally getting around to posting some pics. We've been working on eliminating the drip rails. Here is the finished (mainly) passenger side. The rail that holds the weatherstripping is welded in and...

This is what the rear end looks like now. And yes it's all steel. We cut off the ends of the bumper and added metal to the ends. If anyone wants to get a rough idea of how we did it I can add more photos.

If the 70 uses the same one I may have it. I'll take a look and let you know.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. After repairing the rear the quarter extensions (I think that's what they are called) were next. Anyways I hated the gap and the fact that they didn't line up well with the trunk or quarter panels. I remembering seeing someone do this but can't recall who...

Thanks GetX'd. I was always a Chevy guy but once I got my eyes on this car that changed. After a lot of work tearing out the old metal the trunk and rear start looking a lot better.

I have found a lot of inspiration from watching the builds on here and decided to finally post what I've done so far. This is the car just after my friend and I bought it. The plan was to clean it up and make a profit. After about 3 days I decided to keep it and I bought out his half. - - -...

What happened? It seemed like you were off to a good start.

Hey Darius congrats on getting the final puzzle piece in place. I just read over your entire build - again. Have you ever considered doing a book on the build? Could use a good one featuring modern components in a Mopar!

I would say Don's set up is for major body work which is what he is doing. I definitely wouldn't put it on a rotisserie if the rocker panels are in bad shape. They carry a lot of the load. If it's just minor stuff a rotisserie or dollies are fine. Just my 2 cents worth.

Personally I like to use weldable primer in these areas. I know some will get burned off but better than nothing underneath.

I agree with GearAddict. I wouldn't remove the seat. I found that dropping the steering column a bit and removing the screws on the front of the bezel was enough. That allowed me to pull it out enough to disconnect the wiring by reaching behind and finally bringing the cluster out.
