you gonna let your grandson / building partner pilot this one?

Haha. Can’t see that happening anytime soon. At this point the Dart will be my occasional cruise car and at some point it will make the odd pass. My camp doesn’t run on entitlement like most kids expect nowadays. He’s got to earn it. Besides, he’s always got anything he rides on the redline and pointed at the sky. I already know he’d be in trouble, on the roof or something come 16. Nope for him I’m starting him off right and the plan is made.

This is his first car. My Buddy is holding it for him and as soon as the border re-opens we’ll scoot over and bring it home for him. He’ll be 14 in May, 2 years to get it ready for the road.

There’s no rust on this little signet, just some good sized dents and I’ll help him master a stud weld dent puller.

His plan: Body made straight and left in patina & primer. 2 racing buckets, no back seat, gauges and a shifter. 360 auto. Warmed up some, narrowed Dana, mini tubbed, skinnies and 10’s under the back. Headers, mufflers right behind and no tail pipes for the drone effect. Perfect for him, he wants to hang with his buddies in some parking lot and be the cool hot rodder dude. Amazing rock solid Valiant, all stainless is mint, license plates on it expired in 1976. Yep, this is perfect for that little Mr. Rammypants.
