Dart on the road after 22 years

[DrCharles]

I bought the bare 400 block in 1997, the stripped '72 Swinger shell around 2007... and today at long last, I took it for a short shakedown cruise on the back dirt roads No smoke, fire or puddles. Getting the alignment done on Tues., and then I can go faster than 35 mph, and also touch the gas pedal without spinning and going sideways!

Max the Meathead got in and wouldn't get out, so I took him along for the short ride.

Congratulations and looks good. Our stories are similar. Bought my Duster in 2006 with blown slant in it. Just got it on the road this past spring.

COOL! At least I have some parts in your car, and have seen it in person! You deserve to go have some fun with it!

 

[circlepilot]

Well done! Hope to get my project done soon.

Well you are way further along that I!!! I won't live that long so I hope it won't be....that long

 

[MRGTX]

Well done, man!! This is a big accomplishment that was a long time coming.
I hope you have many fun miles ahead.

Paint those wheels the same color as the car and throw some poverty caps on it!

 

[DrCharles]

Problem is, the front and rear wheels don't match (the fronts take the dog-dish hubcaps, but the rears are rally wheels that are widened to 15x10 with an 8" backspace). It's not as obvious with no hubcaps ;)
