The Other 68 Dart Resto Project

Wow...December 18, 2006....that's when I started this project. Where has all my time (and money) gone?

Five years for a full gut restoration. Several changes of mind on color, interior, engine, suspension, etc. Most of these changes cost me a lot of extra money. I have lost track of how much time and money I spent. Now I ask myself, was it all worth it?

I guess I won't know the Answer until it's back on the road again under it's own power, hopefully that will happen within the next 30 days. I probably would have been better off buying a finished body, then throwing a big block crate engine and trans in it, at least it would have been cheaper.

But honestly, doing it my way meant I have touched every single square inch of the car, I cleaned, painted, polished, replaced, modified everything to my meticulus standards. I have had many firsts, my first full trans rebuild, my first bodywork, my first paint job, etc.

Will I do it again? I hope not, but I probably will. Now that I am almost done, my thoughts are wondering what's next. Do I take a break, or do I dive into another project? I have always wanted to build a 29 Dodge hot rod pickup with a 5.7 Hemi and a 6 speed behind it...
