Greetings from Alabama

So I've been looking around quite a bit recently for information regarding a 1966 Dodge dart gt that was left to me by my grandfather when he passed away. The Car is in great condition, and has been the family for 30+ years.

My research was mainly on brake and master cylinder modification, as this car has the suicidal single master cylinder reservoir and brake line configuration as most of these early A's seem to be sporting. I dont really want to drive the car until I can come up with something more modern and safe.... a wreck in this car would be a disaster since there are no sheet metal reproductions out there.

Well i landed on this site in the 30 page thread on prettybludart's 66 dart transformation and spent an hour reading through the pages and photos. While his car is not what i have in mind for myself, it was a real eye opener to the parts that are still attainable and the potential these cars seem to have. I figured I'd sign up and share a little of my knowledge when needed as well as pick the brains of the seasoned pros out there....

Personally, I worked as a driveability Tech at a local Pontiac/Cadillac/GMC Dealer straight out of college for 5 1/2 years and moved to a Chevrolet/olds dealer for another 5 years before moving out of the automotive field altogether in 2008. I grew quite accustomed to working on the newest cars and am probably one of the few guys who will say that id much rather work on the newest cars than the old ones. A scan tool and Fluke 88 are my tools to pick up first......
Ive always been a fan of the muscle car though, particularly mopars above all, which is tough seeing as how i live in an area dominated by Die hard Bowtie boys.

These days i work at an MDF plant as an operator... Dont get to do much with cars anymore but times are sure to change and when they do my eye's are set on this little project i have sitting in my driveway :)
