Tincup, I really enjoyed reading through this thread. I am a recent convert to Mopar. Or at least let's say I have just recently added a couple of Mopars to my build list. Am now working on a 73 Dart Swinger 318 restoration of a 50K mi. car.
Thanks to FABO, and members like you, I just purchased a 68 Dart 210. Will be picking it up next week in South Carolina and have already started accumulating speed parts for my 68 440 motor which came from a neighbors rusted Imperial with 54K well maintained (except for rust) one owner car. If I had seen your thread before shopping I would have probably looked for an early Dart instead, but so be it. Maybe the next one.
This will be a rottiserrie build. I will be doing most of the work, except paint and machine work.
Bottom line is you have been a true inspiration to my newly acquired Mopar fever. My wallet will hate you.
Thanks for taking the time to document your build and congrats on your fine craftsmanship and work ethic.
