Thank you. No matter what I am not gonna give up on her, everything I do teaches me somethin new:headbang:

Today my Zombie Dart turned 39, I think its having a midlife crisis.:toothy10:

Do a little something every chance you get and you'll get there, workin' on my '63 chevy truck is slowin my gasser down, but I need to save for a rollcage before I fly back in on it anyways, I have all the parts laying around for the truck so I'm just stayin' busy with what I have to work with..

Just finally read this whole thread.. Looks like your doing a great job, and whatever you do, definitely dont give up.. I admire your desire to stick with it... It does seem like these projects take forever though LOL

I just picked up the rest of my brake parts a couple days ago. All I need for the brakes is the rear lines and then I need to sort out my charging system. But winter is fast approaching so I need to get in gear!:D
 
I've been contemplating it a lot lately and I have realized this is a project that is way over my head and I have decided to part ways with it. It is located right now in Braselton, GA at my sister's house. I would like to get $700 for it with the new Spectra gas tank in, rebuilt carb, & new fuel pump. I will also throw in the suspension bushings I have from energy suspension, a set of Hooker headers, a '71 340 intake, a 340 bare block, a 340 radiator, an extra fan, a set of '70-'71 grille bezels, headlight buckets, a voltmeter to fix the charging problem, an oil meter, a spare alternator (the one on there is fine), and all the parts minus the lines to rebuild the brakes. I hate myself for this but I realize I will keep getting deterred by what it needs being over my head and it will eventually rot into dust.


Sorry if I let you guys down, I'm not getting out of Mopars in any way shape or form anytime soon. I plan on saving what I can from the sale of this and working to get myself a more solid project car to turbo small block.
 
you got the right and left crossed up
The black bowl looking things that use the chrome to hold the headlight set in place are wrong, they are for a '70 Duster. They wont fit. Neither do the chrome rings. Might wanna send a set with all the other stuff you are sending me, I can really use em hasta pronto so I can be on the road

And at Raleigh Rocket, PM SENT!:-D

gonna take more of future progress incase Mike decides to stop by here
 
Mike, it was no let down. We all know that life gets in the way sometime and you just have to work around it. When the time comes you will find another Mopar to get started on. But take care of the life stuff first.

well ef8340, sounds like you been busy there. maybe you can get the rear from your nieghbors 71?
 
pretty much everything on the bottom of that 71 is toast plus it a small rear too. yesterday i was busy taking the drivers side front suspension loose and getting all the undercoating off the inner fender will take some more photos to update this incase mike comes back to have a look
 
well guys i spent the most part of the day cleanin parts on the driver side was snappin acouple photos to show and i dont know my sons memory card wasnt gettin read but the computer so far i have most of the undercoating off and everything 95% clean on the BBP disc brake stuff for the drivers side. man i wish i had a sand blaster or a booth i got my upper ball joints ordered this friday i'll get them and some paint im planning on going red or hemi orange with the car it should goe nice with the off white interior im doing this on the cheap aswell this should make a cool crusier im also lookin for some dog dish hub caps the ones with the red circles im thinkin 69-70? maybe
 
driver side front is complete minus some undercoating and hookin up my hard lines for the brakes im also changing the color out from tawny gold to hemi orange im not planing on doing a contours restoration but a really cool cruiser , also i got a ? for the auto body guys anyone try that spray on clear coat in a can i redone the inner fenders "suspension side" with duplicolor engine enamel and it turned out okay for the most part but i'd like to put alittle more shine in there before i blend it all with the under coating
 
Hey man, keep at it, its looking great. I've just been playing with the truck. Just ordered an RPM Air Gap and I bought a Holley 750 vac sec off a coworker for $60 that is brand new. about to order a decent cam and headers and a 4.56 gear for that 8 3/4. I'm determined to smoke my roommates stang. I'm about replace rear main and ha lol. Ive already replaced the distributor. How do I unbypass the neutral safety? Btw, I got a key made for it. Never again shall it come to work.
