James's 1970 Dodge Dart build.

First, thank you all for the compliments. It helps me get through the lonely/time consuming build, and that I'm not alone. I have spent so much, it's ridiculous, and when I see that I'll still have to throw a whole lot more money on body, paint and interior, it kinda gets me down, makes me second guess myself if I should continue to throw money at it...I see other people's cars and I wonder how nice they get it like that, and how they reach that final stage of completeness...seems so far away for me...anyways, back on subject...

Badart, I had my dana 60 built at 49 5/8" in length. The wheels in the pic are 15x10 with a 3.75 backspace, bfg 295/50/15. However, I am not going to use those wheels anymore, I decided to use 17's instead. i had to have them custom made at 17x11 with 4.25 backspace. I am using nitto 555 315/35/17...

Hey kee your chin up! Your doing so well...You will have a one of a kind unique vehicle that cant be bought elsewhere,and it will be done to your exact taste. Even if you spend 20 grand building it,keep in mind that you cant get this off a carlot for 40 grand.

You have waited a long time and that shows dedication.To come home after Iraq and do what you have done almost defies words. And I see a lot of skill in what you have done too! If I lived close to you I would help so much you'd be sick of seeing me,lol...

Come here when you need a boost. This sight and it's folks are awesome and can really pick you up. They have helped me enormously!


I've been waiting 15 years and now struggle with M.S in addition to funding issues like everone else. If I can do it,you sure as heck can!
