MuuMuu101's 68 Dart, A Learning Process...

Kind of a bit of an update since the last post. That weekend I ended up going to the Fall Fling and had a great time. I had 0 issues and a comfortable ride on my 90 mile round trip. Since then, I've been taking it out every other week and just cruising in it for 10 miles or so. I sometimes take it to school. I don't really want to go far as some safety issues need to be addressed. The driver's door rear view mirror only points down. The adjustment on it is broken. Also, the turn signal doesn't work as the mechanics installed the steering column half-assed. They were off by one spline and now the steering wheel is sorta crooked driving straight. Plus they never installed the last brackets that holds the steering column in the car. Now my turn signal swirls around the column sometimes on turns and it won't actuate when the lever is pulled. However, on that note, I think it's just missing the ground as I have a spare wire. I just don't know where to connect it as I'm terrible with circuits and electricity (aka Black Magic).

Besides enjoying it, I'm trying to think of where to go for the next step. I've got an 8 3/4 in my garage waiting to go in so I've been thinking an engine swap of some sort. I'm not too big of a fan with the granny gears and lack of hp but it's fine for now. I was thinking possibly along the lines of a engine swap/drivetrain go through this summer, suspension upgrade next summer, and paint and body a year or longer after that.
