It really took a lot, but I had managed to resist comment on the "Plaid".
Sharp car TC, building one myself... Cooling (eng & AC), wiring, brake plumbing, fuel plumbing to go.
Haven't yet seen a reply on my transmission question, I used the pickup trans in my 33 because I couldn't find anyone building a harness for the car/german trans. Your Dart uses the 545rfe?
What's next? A 4 door 42 Dodge, Cummins, 4x4 (but low) COE car hauler.
