1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build
Last week I got a call from my wife that our house flooded and I needed to come home from work. Well it wasn't the worst thing but it wasn't good. Flooded upstairs to downstairs and it was a category 3 damage so everything the water touched had to be removed. That meant every single piece of carpet in our house, some of the brand new flooring I put in last May, ceiling drywall in the basement, walls, all had to be ripped out. AC ducts were filled with water, the nursery was just completely redone too, it has turned into a bit of a nightmare. So everything has been put on hold until we get this house situation under control. It really sucks with the timing. Only 6 weeks away till my baby girl is born so everything is a time crunch now. I swear every time I want to get going on this trans swap, something gets in the way. So with the car somewhat torn apart, buckets were in, rest of the front of the interior was ripped out, no exhaust, I figured it was driveable still so I took it out for the first time since I drove it home from the body shop. They have a Cars and Coffee thing once a month that I had never been to. So rolled up open headers and it turned some heads! Dang that sucker is loud when I get on it. My ears were ringing by the time I got back home. But I met Taxmanth with his Blown BB Dart for the first time. Go check out his build thread if you haven't! That's a bad car! I have a little video I'll upload later too. Car definitely needs the stripe and I'll get that on later as well once we get the final buff done on the trunk lid.
