MuuMuu101's 68 Dart, A Learning Process...
I'm sure everyone has experienced this but whenever you try to fix one thing you find 2 other things that the previous owner did that just makes you think, "WHY?!" or "What in the world?". But it makes funny stories and trophies to talk about when your in the garage and talking with friends.
I've personally been a fan of vinyl tops. I like the added color. However, my only problem with putting the vinyl top on this car is that the previous owner got rid of the vinyl trim and filled in the holes. So I don't think it will be going back on within its lifetime. I generally don't like the idea of building a car back up according to build sheet and fender tag unless it's an uber special car. This little GT is going to get a lot of my personal touches.
I remember when I was driving it on the freeway, it rode just fine and easily. You could barely hear the engine at 70 mph. Ideally I would like nothing more than 3.55 gears unless I had some sort of overdrive system. However, I really want a manual but don't want to really start cutting up the car and getting into the interior. Plus it's expensive!
