Let's say for simplicity that all items are $5 each plus actual S&H from northern CA. I'm happy to bundle for additional savings, so let me know what you need!

The car is currently stored about 200 miles from where I live. I will update this post with pics as soon as I can get them.

I have a pretty well stripped 2 door 70 swinger in Sacramento CA. It has great floors, trunk floor, and lots of other good metal: doors, trunk, hood, quarters, tail panel, etc. Rust free CA stuff. Also has factory front disc brakes. No drive train, no interior. No rear axle. Asking $400 as is...

Thanks. No, no finished pictures yet, but fairly soon. The car is about 95% there but still needs the headlights and grill installed, and a few other small details taken care of before its ready for "finished" photos.

Unfortunately, I don't think I captured any in-process photos of the instrument cluster or steering wheel and column sub-assembly restorations. The gauges were all disassembled cleaned and painted as needed. The steering wheel had some minor cracks which were epoxy filled before sanding...

After routing some wiring, and laying in the new carpet, the donor back seat with a little cleaning was good to go too.

Those donor car door panels cleaned up great.

Sound proofing is going way above and beyond factory specifications....

I've finally dug up a few more photos. The Dart's now sitting on a set of BFG radials on restored rallye wheels, minus the center caps. Door hardware is in, and the quarter panel emblems in place too.

Sold mine. Thanks, Mark!

I have a nice black one from a 70 dart. $20 includes shipping to the 48 states for the first buyer to pm me. Thanks.

5 on 4.5" bolt pattern, single 15" steel wheel with or without tire wanted in SF Bay Area, for use as a spare. Thanks.

I have a good one, and assuming you are in the 48 states, I can pack and ship it to your door for $20 total. Unfortunately I can't seem to attach a picture from my phone....

I need to do some photo mining before I can continue to tell the story, and I haven't had time to do so. I can give a small teaser though.... Our donor car had a remarkably nice black interior. The door panels, back seat, and seat belts all cleaned up great, and the dash pad with only one...

Friends are great, but unless they're funding your project for you then the decisions are yours. I say if you wanna paint it orange then have at it!

Yep, 1973_Scamp gets the photo credit for that dyno picture, as he was there with me that day.

The fresh 340 was brought back to life on a test stand, if only for a short time. Water vapor in the exhaust led to a partial tear down, and the discovery that some overly aggressive bowl porting had resulted in a crack between the exhaust port and water jacket. This is the exact point where...

Thanks, guys! I'm glad there's people out there enjoying this, so let's get to the next installment. Our vision for this project from the start was to do basically a bone stock restoration, with a few planned exceptions. 1) This Dart would roll on radial tires. Dad and I previously put a set...

Agreed. That option totally transforms the look of the car!

Next up is the 340 rebuild. As I mentioned, when we bought the car there was a partiallly torn down 273 under the hood, but the purchase also included the matching numbers 340 short block in desperate need of some love.

As 340john pointed out, something's missing in the latest pics above... Sometimes you have to take one step backwards to take two steps forwards. Follow along as we take sandpaper, a drill and a hole saw to that beautiful hood!

Yep, we're getting there.... That hood came from the donor car so some modifications are pending

Here she is with fresh paint... then assembled back into a roller on a powder coated suspension... and next with the fenders, doors and lids installed.

Thanks for the support, and glad you are enjoying following along with our project. I do need to clarify something however... Although we're still working on the project, this has been a retrospective tale of it so far. Don't get the wrong idea that we are lightning fast, nothing could be...

A test spray of the B5 Blue... oh yeah!

Blasted, epoxy primed, and on to the bodywork

Stripped to the bone in preparation for media blasting

No major rust or accident damage to contend with, just years of typical aging to undo

Wearing some sheetmetal from two other donors
