hi there ! im new here !
Welcome to the site!
I would inspect the suspension, brakes, and determine if anything needs upgrades or rplaced such as the rearend, K-member/Motormounts and transmission for the V8.
My project is a 71 Dart, My plan so far is to get it in solid running order (Suspension, Brakes, drivetrain) and enjoy driving it while collecting the body parts and materials needed for a body restore!
