time really flies because I didn't realize so much time has passed with the car on the back burner.

in late 2014 I was going to trade it for a duster but the deal fell through due to distance being a problem.

today I was going to bring an old flame project in and start it up again so I flipped a coin to decide whether I am going to work on the 69 dart or this car. can you guess which one won the coin toss LOL

I started by sanding the 1/4 panel down and I did find a couple bondo spots and now that its bare metal, I have no idea why whoever put so much bondo. I see the dent they were trying to fix but it can be pulled on some more.......so the bondo .....WHY!?!? lol

last month I did score the front seats from a fabo member.

oddly enough, the seats had A-body tracks on them and were marked as for sale from a 69 dart. I did know when I was buying that its not the correct cover pattern for a 69 dart and after researching I found they are from a 69 coronet and someone changed the tracks. So I changed the back to B-body tracks and the seats are now home back in another B-body.

I had made some progress before when I attempted to add an auto console, I got the circle cut in the floor for the auto linkage. right now I am really temped to can the console and go 4 speed which will add to the build cost ....but im thinking it might worth it on the long run. If I go 4 speed, the console is out the door because 4 speed console plates are way more than I am willing to spring for when I can put a non-console shifter and call it a day.

I started another thread about the wheel cover/wheel selection.
