Well pulled my dart into my shop exactly a year ago and started taking it apart.Was pretty rusty once I got below the skin (was a pretty good looking 8 footer #s matching swinger). Built a rottisory rolled it on its side and got at it, replaced the floor,repaired the sub frames,torsion bar member,inner rear wheel wells did all the sheet metal work I felt I could do.Loaded it on a trailer and sent it for dip & strip next, was,nt too shocked when I got it back actually looked pretty cool as shiney sheet metal but more holes appeared and 38 yrs of past sins were exposed.Back to repairing more metal and holes.Now its with a mopar lover-racer body guy in Ontario for the finishing body repairs and paint, Hope to have it back in March(will be black C/W red strip or black on black still sleeping on that decision).In the meantime I have rebuilt the dash,all interior motors heater wipers etc.,3.55 diff and springs,tranny,new centerforce clutch.The 340 still had stock bores but tired so took it .040 over-KB pistons,redid the X heads,Comp cam & valve train,air gap intake-700 Holley so it should roast the hides when I jump on it(can,t wait).Now I am just waiting on parts, rebuilding or replacing every thing left on the car.What a money pit.Bought a brand new GTS when I was 18 didn't cost me near as much.
