1973 Dart Sport

Getting a little antsy at this point. Really want the car on the road this year while the weather is still decent. Going to hold off on the Wilwood brakes, better shocks and sway bars. Those can be added at a later date easily and the AutoZone crap should work just fine for now.

The gf is coming up this weekend so work will have to wait until next weekend. The plan is to knock out most of the welding before my dad and I have to do it in a metal cage in triple degree weather. Va likes to skip Spring and jump right to Summer. Floor pans, the heater blower hole and engine bay all need welded.

The plan is to prep the interior for new floor pans and engine bay for repainting one day, weld everything the next day and run to the junkyard on Sunday to grab an 8.8 out of an Explorer. Hoping for a 3.73 limited slip with rear disks.

I've been torn on sound deadening for the past few days. I don't want to spend hundreds on it and I don't want to use the cheap roofing stuff either. If I'm going to spend a day doing something, I want to do it right. I've settled on using RAAM mat if I'm going that route. I suppose it's worth for the thermal insulation alone, i remember baking in my car at every stop back when it was my daily driver. I was going to get mass-backed carpet and leave it at that but I might as well do it right while the interior is already completely out of the car ... thoughts anyone?
