if this is your first project then i would recommend buying a running driving car that you cam upgrade as you drive it. alot of guys buy big projects that they have all then intentions of rebuilding and they either run out of money time or ambition.
I see what you are saying totally. My dad's dart is a 4 door, slant 6 family original, so no real mods on that anytime soon. I thought it would be a solid car for me to work on little by little. I want something with a little more punch than a bone stock slant six. I will see if I can get more pics from the guy.
