Pro Touring 10K

Well heres the story. After see a 66 Valiant at Columbus good guys 2 years ago. I have been on the look out for a really nice Early A body to build for myself.I build cars every day and have not had a car of my own since 2001. WOW I'm way over due.
So a Google search turn up here. To this forum. That I didn't even know existed. Long story short I started looking through the cars for sale section. And in a few minutes I had come across a listing for very clean all original 1965 Dart. A couple PM's later I struck a deal. So a 15hr drive one way were in the plans to go get the car.
After doing a little digging in the forums I came across the build thread of Tincups 63 Dart. Well the wheels started turning for a high dollar build. Not really my original plan. So after a few days of posting some questions about the early A bodies ( another thread I started with some info on the car and a little about me-See 1965 Dart with questions) I have decided to go back to my original plan.
So heres what the plan will be for the Dart.
Stip the car to its shell for a repaint top to bottom. In it's original color or something very close but in a fine metalic.A new set of Rushforth wheels in 18x10 for the rear and 18x7 up front running a Mickey Thompson 28x12x18 street radial ans BF Good rich KDW IIs in a 225x40x18 in front. Set the car low over the tires using some components from Firm Feel. Add some mini tub's to the rear to get the big Mickeys setting well under the car. Narrow a Ford 9" and build a new relocation spring set up for the rear. Add a disc brake set up from a later A body car.
Re use all the mint condition interior, New carpet was just added to the car right before I bought it. I could use some new door panels and arm rest. So I will get a set from Legendary interiors.The Slant six will need to find a new home. I will be on the look out for a small block and trans to fresh'n up and transplant. A FAST EZ EFI will also be added. As I plan on driving the wheels off this car. All of this for 10K or less.Stay tuned for build pictures as I go. in the mean time here is my starting point. And the mock up of the wheels I will be using along with the Valiant that started my down this path.
