Welcome to the site. Tell us more about you.

Well, I'm a widower, lost my wife 2 years ago.
Retired in 2022 after running a cnc machine shop for 25 years.
I weld, and do all my own mechanical work, always have.
You know, jack or all trades
Wife and I rode the Harley but its not so fun anymore without her.
Been casually looking for a 65 or 66 dart for about 7 years until I found one that check almost all the boxes.

Also rebuilding my wifes 1995 Jeep cherokee, inner/outer rockers, full floor pan are done now fixing rust in the cargo area.
The first pic is before I started teardown
Also love to deer hunt, mostly archery, have got a few big ones.
Thats enough for now, thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to FABO!! Nice Dart GT. I was born and raised in Waynesboro PA. Tired of the cold so I came south.

Welcome from just north of you in Erie. Great looking car but i guess i am biased. haha. Looks like we have very similar cars. You should bring it to the Tristate Mopar show in Albion for sure!
