    Hemiken's 68 Dart Sedan Delivery
    « on: August 06, 2008 - 05:17:39 AM »
    Hi Guys,

    Here is some info and pictures of my Delivery by special request. :2thumbs: CHUCK


    These are not available anywhere.  My Delivery started life as a VE Valiant 4 door Station Wagon with a slant 6 and three speed manual on the column, we call them "three on the tree" when they are manual on the column.

    First thing i did when i got the Wagon was to change in a 318 and 904 Automatic.  Then swapped in the 400 and 727 Big Block, along with a quick body conversion by welding up the rear door and removing the glass and filling the section with sheet metal.

    I then simply changed over the grille from a 68 Dart, picked up a GTS hood (miracle it was in Australia) and then started the conversion of the rear lights from Valiant which look a lot like A-body Barracuda lights and will be grafting on some 68 Dart tail lights.  The Tailgate has been started also but i have to re-cut it off and re-fit it in the correct location for the new lights.  The tailgate has got a rear skin grafted on from a Dart trunk lid.

    Plan on finishing the rear section in a couple of weeks. :2thumbs:

    More pictures coming.

    Kenny, that's it for pics?  C'mon mate,  :useless:   :poopoke:

    I'm looking forward to seeing more of this (to us) unique car.

    P.S. We call it "three on the tree" also.
