loved yellow darts since i seen the one in mackay with the huge letterbox scoop on itsounded so nice and went real well too for the size of iturs is looking pretty sweet man good luck with the build up

Sure you're not thinking of John Clifford's yellow 1973 Dodge Challenger?That's the only yellow mopar I'm aware of in Mackay.Doesn't mean I know them all though.

nah defo not that car.... dunno if it is still lurking around down there, but it was a yellow dart with a huge letterbox scoop on it that was almost as wide as the bonnet itself, it looked real nice and sounded about 10 times better than it looked.... it was owned by a fairly young fello maybe late 20's early 30's at the oldest.... pretty sure he was a miner and i only seen the car in the flesh about 3 or 4 times

basically it looked like the car in this link... but a real one http://www.snuffledo...s/50620gn02.jpg

Most of the engine bay wiring and bits'n'pieces are fitted up.

I've got an A/C heater over from Classic Auto Air which I want to fit up before the engine goes in.







Today I finished light porting and cleaning up of the heads.







Heads are now torqued down on the engine.

Will do a bit more engine assembly tomorrow and retorque the heads.

It's a cheapy off US ebay and don't fit all that great so not the trimmer's fault.
