I have been unable to locate anything relatively clean in my price range/location so I am contemplating going with a 4 Door Dart. Was hoping there may be some other 4 door owners out there who could share some pics with me, what they were able to do with them, pics with rims etc? Just looking for some ideas to gauge if I want to go this way... Thanks!
 
This is a '65 Valiant. Flared the rear wheel wells instead of narrowing the '70 Challenger 8 3/4 sure-grip.

I know this is an old post but I’ve got a 64 Dodge Dart that I’m working on bringing back to life. Even got my son involved.

I love the 4 door! I also love the fact that you have your son involved. That’s how my love for these old A bodies started back in the 80’s. Great to see the car and the next generation involved! Keep up the great work and keep that young man involved. That’s what is going to carry on our hobby. You are making memories that can shape a lifetime!

Thanks Doug for the kind words. My son keeps asking when we're going to start it and take it for a drive, which is great because I'm trying to teach him patience and falling through on making sure everything is good before moving to the next step. We're building it to be a daily driver and since I've had the car since I was 18 (1996) we're looking towards keeping it in the family for years to come. My hope is one day he takes it and I can start on another one.
 
Driveable,but not yet finished. Was a parts car that was headed to the scrap yard. Very little rust. Just couldn't see it going for junk.Going for the 60's nose high look.Not the best photos.

That definitely looks cool. That's what I've been think about mine lately, its a legacy for a car that's lived for 60+ years. In 4 more years mines going to be 60 years old, you just don't see these on the roads anymore.
 
What's great about a 4 door is it can do everything a 2 door can,maybe even better.The other being lower initial cost. A 4 door Valiant(or what ever) can be had for lets say $1000 complete compared to a 2 door that may be as high as $4000 that is mostly a shell.Now you have a extra $3000 for go fast goodies !
 
The view from the driver’s seat is the same whether it’s a 4 or 2 door!
 
^^ That 62 B Body more door I showed above I made a replica of the max wedge scoop for it A $35 sheet of 29 ga. I have a $500 Valiant wagon that I am trading for a 64 more Ply B Body with a running poly 318. I have a B body 4 speed set up for it. Just a fun deal and cheap.
