Greetings All,
Been lurking for a couple of weeks and thought I'd chime in. Have had mopars most of my life (both older and new) and decided I finally needed to pick up a project car. Found a 1975 Dart Sport with a straight body with the normal wear and tear, some surface rust on the hood/roof/trunk in the lovely E9 Vintage Red colour. Actually the colour is growing on me. :) All the brightwork is in great shape, no dents.

The seller had already started some work and upgraded to an 8 3/4 3:55 rear end with moser (spelling) axels and green bearings and new leaf springs. Disc brakes on all four corners.

Current plan is to preserve the body since I cannot afford a full paint job right now and don't have the skills. Will be swapping out the slant 6 and 4 speed manual and restoring the interior and all the other minor repairs and make a driver/bracket racer out of it.
