Think I finally found my project car

That looks like a great start! Just an fyi a dart/demon hood will not work on its own. You would have to also swap out the front fenders, hood support, grill and bumper. Maybe just do the hood blackout treatment with a scoop? Would save you a ton of parts searching and $ in the end. Good luck with either route you take!

The front fenders are already shot, they got rust in the bottom corners near the doors and it's a LOT cheaper to just swap fenders. Darts are common. I tried to find a demon but none around here for a decent price. One was in the same condition as the duster and MISSING parts/engine and guy wanted 4 grand. said it was so rare that it'd be 30+ grand when its done... phft dont you just love that story? Spokane, WA has a lot of darts -- I'm sure I could find a complete front end -- fenders/bumper etc for $250 with how bad folks need money. I wont have a place to work on it for a month, so meanwhile ill just be part shopping. I had my eyes on a 1964 Polara for $750 but the guy said there was someone whos gonna check it out before me so I probably lost out on it... was going to turn it into a 1964 charger clone hard top, but polara parts are a pain to find. Figure this project is solid enough, and cheap enough that I could afford to buy a couple part swaps. Most folks end up wanting 2 grand for their car in this condition.... So yeah..... lots of time, which I have, some money, which I have, tools, which I have and elbow grease which I have :D knowledge too.... So, the charger duster shall be born! Speaking of which, before i start hitting up craigslist -- anyone got a dart front end they'd like to sell me and lives 200 miles or less from missoula MT? Looking for cancer free/dent free. Don't care if the grill is missing, I'd gladly trade parts off that duster I won't be using which is the interior -- the back seats are perfect. They're this nasty lime greenish color maybe someone else likes that color? I'm gonna strip a few things off it and try to get it running a bit better, carb def needs tweaked it was running rich. prob gonna keep the slant six for awhile, unless i find a v8 front clip that i can stick on it :) that'd work right?
