'72 Dart Custom
Here is my '72 Dart Custom which I bought about a year ago. Figured It's time to start a thread for it. This is my first classic and my first Mopar. Actually, it's the only car I've really worked on. My dad isn't a car guy and I didn't grow up around car guys, so I just recently got into it, and I LOVE it! You guys here on FABO have made what I've done so far possible, so thanks! My goal with this car is to make it a fun daily driver.
What I've done -Suspension & Steering: MP springs, Bilstein shocks, Poly bushings all around (except strut rods-Moog rubbers), moog pitman & idler arms, tie rods, upper & lower ball joints.
Brakes - Rebuilt calipers, new pads & rotors, new bearings and wheel studs/nuts.
Wheels - American Racing 14x7 sbp with BFGoodrich 215/70 14
Body - Gave the hood, roof, and deck lid a temporary rattle can job to get rid of and protect against rust. The only cancer the car has are just behind the rear wheel wells. Repainted the grill.
Engine - I pulled the engine and trans out a few months ago due to shifting issues and TONS of blue smoke - even got pulled over for it, cop was nice and just talked cars for while and gave me a warning. The 318 had a very worn #7 cylinder bore so I got a 360 to replace it.
