FABO Welcome Wagon

[Gearhead9000]

Hello, hello, from the mountains of western North Carolina! I'm a 73 year old man who has had a Mopar all my life. My daily driver is a '99 Dakota, 4x4, 5 speed, with a built, fuel-injected 360, 4.10 gears with 33" tires. I just bought a '66 Dart GT, 6 cylinder with auto trans. I'm going with a carbed 360 and NV3500 5 speed. It'll be a long build but fun to drive after I'm finished. I've had a lot of these A bodies when I was in H.S. and afterwards, maybe 6 or 8 '64-'65 Darts and 'Cudas. I wish I still had some of those cars today! lol So, I just wanted to say "Hey" to everyone.

Thank you. It's not much to look at now, but it will be when I'm finished.

Welcome to FABO, good looking project you have there, seems solid.
There's lots of good knowledgeable people on here, don't be afraid to ask questions!
How about some pics of the truck?

Welcome! Looks like the start of a great project.

Welcome! Looks like the start of a great project.

I do believe this Dart has a good foundation. There is a little rust in the left rear quarter, but that's it. I don't think it's ever been in any kind of serious accident. Everything looks pretty straight.
