1970 Dart Custom

Have run in to a few bumps, like the transmission being installed incorrectly and incorrectly coupled with the torque converter. This resulted in the torque converter being destroyed...

So, we took the tranny to a shop and they're going thru the whole thing and installing a shift kit and new front pump... We bought a new torque converter as well...

Here's a pic of the car right now... All the mechanical is almost done, but it needs total exterior n interior cosmetics... The white pin stripe on the passenger side is nice, I think I'm gonna replicate it when I paint the car to its original t-6 color...

SO, the project has been on hold for the winter because the car is in North Idaho, etc...

But, its SPRING now!

I am getting super excited about getting my car mostly done mechanically, and beginning to work on the cosmetics...

We got the steering column out, and since it was a blue column shift, we changed it over to a floor shift collar and installed a nice original tuff wheel on it...

After painting it black, back in it goes!

Hallelujah! So glad to be moving forward again :)
