Dennis,
Been lamenting about (lusting for) these cars for some time. Fellow who makes these (1st picture in this thread) is Greg Fernald local to Phx area. He has been doing these cars for a few years now. His work is remarkable. I tortured myself again this January by approaching him at the Pavillions and kicking around the notion of building one for me (I can dream). He even uses the tried and true Hurst method of "adjusting" the rear wheel opening and well with the good ol' mark I- mod O sledge hammer - albeit with a little more finesse. With the epa restrictions for annual emmissions testing revised here in AZ, I have fantasized with the notion of building a tru 12.5 : 1 CR Hemi Dart. He will build either a 426ci/600 HP, 472/650 HP, or 528/750 HP Hemi coupled to your choice of tranny, coupled to a Dana 60. Notice the plate below?
Can u say "counterweight"?.....
