1963 Dart 170 2 Door Post Resto
Good weekend. Took the car out for it's last run of the year before being put away for the winter. Took it to a show about an hour south of me.
Weather was questionable all week so I wasn't sure if it was going to be worth the drive, but figured when I got up at least it would make for a nice Sunday drive. Weather held out. Wasn't super warm but it never rained and it wasn't windy so it was nice.
LOTS of cars there. Close to 1000 cars if not more turned up. A little bit of everything. I got put in the goalpost on the field we were parked in at the local high school so that was kinda cool as I had room on both sides as there wasn't enough room for 2 cars there. Got way more attention than I expected. I'm happy with how it looks, but it isn't anything special, so the looks and comments it got were very welcomed. The best one was a guy who knew the early Darts that couldn't quite put his finger on why it looked different in the front. After explaining the custom front bumper and painting in the headlight rings all I got was cool. Said it looked like it belonged there. Really liked the look. That was exactly the look I was going for when I did it. Wanted it to look like it came that way.
All in all it was a great day. Me and the wife had a great time and will be back next year for sure. Was almost home before the rain moved in so we timed it pretty good overall.
