Hi Everyone!
I'm David from Carson City, NV and my wife and I are the proud owner of two classic Dodges; 1969 Dodge Dart GTS and a 1960 Dodge Pickup. The Dart was a barn find car that my wife has had since before we met, and we've been in the slow process of rebuilding it for the last three years. This month will be the first year since starting the rebuild that we'll be able to drive it. I have to be honest, it started as a GT and we converted it to a GTS with the rebuild. This was due mostly to engine troubles that we couldn't overcome with the original 318. So, I was able to find an old 340 that hadn't been rebuilt yet and we rebuilt it to a 430 HP solid motor. We also changed it from an automatic to a 4-spd, changed the rear-end to handle the added HP and added upgraded suspension and disc brakes all-around. We just got it from the paint shop yesterday and it's in the interior shop now. We expect it to be on the road by Wednesday of next week, just in time to take to Hot August Nights.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
