Captainkirk's Duster project

rub2stix said
What sadness... I just realized that MONTHS ago I changed my email address and didn't tell FABO. SO -- I just signed on and looked for updates to this thread. Woe is us'ns. No updates in all these months from our esteemed Cap'n. Come on, buddy. Make a New Year's Resolution for the Duke, and keep it!

As for me and my son, we're at work on the interior of our father/son 70 Dart Swinger Project. Over the spring and summer we got the engine built and installed into our newly cleaned and painted engine bay, tranny built, installed a 3.91 Sure Grip pumpkin and detailed the underside. "Darlene" (the Dart) runs under her own power! Estimate completion of "Stage 1" restoration is late Spring, early Summer.

Cheers!

You're right, Rub. This has been a year of transition for me with walking away from my business and starting a new job (remind me to tell you a story about it some time... I do tell stories); I knew pretty early on I wasn't gonna get anywhere this summer so didn't fight the Force when it told me to take some time off. I'm planning on hitting it hard this spring, I've got the whole underside done now and it's time to get cracking on suspension and rear end and get them back on the car. The Duke has been very patient with me, and my son (also a member here) is egging me on to get moving on it. And, as a matter of fact, The Duke WAS on my list of resolutions for 2015. Thanks for the inquiry!
