70 dart swinger slant turbo build and mild restoration

You're a busy man! Reminds me of my own activities when I statred this current slant project, five or six years ago. But, I had a racing partner, then, and he actually ended up doing most of the cosmetic-work on the car, because it stayed at his place (he had a lot more room than I did.) The car was a MESS; it had sat under a tree, in an open field, for about 15 years and that tree had dropped pine needles into the doors to the point that the inner door panels were filled to the brim, with those pine needles... I can't imagine how they got in there, but they did, He got a pressure-washer and cleaned all that up, fixed a lot of the dings and scrapes on the body, put a whole new interior in the car, along with a roll bar, and built the header all by himself... and then sold his interest in the car to me for about fifty-cents on the dollar (for what he had invested in it,) so yes, I owe this guy, big time. He has several other MOPAR projects he wanted to woerk on, so he bowed out; it's my problem, now...:banghead:

I did make all the decisions RE: the engine and powertrain, and get all the machine-work done, and assemble it and drive it at the strip, so, I have SOME involvement.:cheers:

It's not easy, and it takes time and money, but it's well worth the effort, IF you don't take shortcuts, and you do it "right." Hang in there.... it'll put a big smile on your face, eventually!!! :blob:
