First classic car

Welcome to for a bodies only! The first step and best step on your journey. I am 3 years into my first classic car which is the same color and year as the first car I owned. From knowing 0%, I am now at maybe 5%? But that 5% is a real lot! As said above, get yourself an original service manual and visit classicwiring.com
Join all the Facebook Dodge Dart groups. Search YouTube. Ask questions in this forum but first do the searches, many topics are already discussed. Find a good local hot rod shop to do the difficult tasks (have patience, they take forever). Think safety when you work on the car: gloves, goggles, use many reliable jack stands if you get under the car (maybe overboard, but I use 6 plus the hydraulic Jack). Making sure your wife’s almost 60 year old car is safe for her to drive is where the first $ should be spent. Also be prepared to spend a lot more $$$ than you ever, ever expected. Have fun!
