Welcome to FABO, what a beautiful car!
Sounds like you have some great plans for it, i can't wait to see the progress........
Maybe start a build thread here so we all can enjoy!
How about some more info on yourself now that we got the car out of the way?

Thanks again for the warm welcome everyone!

That's a good idea, I'll have to get a build thread going soon.

As for me, I'm 31 and a Mopar guy through and through! I own a business that rebuilds turbos and sells parts for them. For a long time I was really into the Twin Turbo Dodge Stealth's and building/upgrading turbos for them. Built some custom turbos that made 900 AWHP on a 3.5L V6 Stealth.

I liked the Stealth's and turbos but old muscle cars were always the most fun. I bought my first Mopar before I even had a license. It was a 71 Duster w/the hillside Hemi ;). Stripped it down to the bare shell and had it media blasted. Bought everything to convert it to a V8 but before finishing ran across a 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4-speed car that was numbers matching so I sold the Duster and bought the Dart. After the Dart I bought a 1970 Cuda w/a 383 auto and stripped it down to the bare shell and had it media blasted too (starting to see a pattern here lol). After having all the rust repair done I bought a shaker hood setup for it and a 4-speed to convert it (another pattern developing) but a new house and other things got in the way so I ended up selling it as a project. Went a few years without an old car and drove a Chrysler 300C SRT8 but I missed the old cars so I sold the SRT8 and bought this 68 Dart that I've got now.
