65 dart gt build

Here are some photos of my 65 dart i recently purchased in the last couple of months. its a california car i got from the original owner. 72k original miles. drove it 2 hours home from the bay area of california to my home in sonoma county.

My plans are to keep the car original with the exception of a 360/727 combo and a nice set of torque thrust II's. this lil dart is too complete to chop up and change its original gt packaged looks. straight body an all trim is there. interior complete except for a broken arm rest and the only rot/rust is a lil patch over the driver's rear wheel well.

As of now i am focusing on the mechanical aspects. will do paint/body and interior after everything else is dialed in. right now i have a 727 put together and 360 almost ready to be dropped in. pulled the original 225/6 and 904 out last weekend and am getting the engine bay prepped for paint. also have gotten a hold of a set of 73up disk brake spindles and calipers, an v-8 centerlink. hoping to have this thing back on the road by summer time!
