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

i love getting parts in the mail; so be honest did you open up all the parts and lay them out on the floor? my wife was yelling at me a few months back for having parts all over the living room when i ordered my sway bars and other stuff.

also when you change the parts, i would ask your mechanic to save the front and rear spring hangers & shackles, oem front t-bars. you could probably sell them here and recoup a few bucks

I was actually good about it. I left the parts in the corner of my garage for 5 days and barely opened 2 boxes last night as I was curious what was in what box. I'm sure I would have done it sooner if I was installing the parts, but I'm not so I just left it how it was. As for the brake parts, I tore that box right open once it got home.

As for the parts, I want to save them all; however, I'm unsure if I want to sell them or save them for another project (like an early A) later on. I believe the 273 Darts came with 4.5 leaf springs and small block t-bars so it would be a mild improvement for a slant six car. Or, again, I could resell them to negate the loss or to put the money into other parts.
