1973 Dodge Dart 4-Door Custom Sedan Rebuild

Hey:

Yep, you pounded that nail right on the head.

I'm long past worrying myself with what other people's opinions are on my project, or anything else, for that matter. The 4-door models may not be as inherently valuable as the 2-door versions, and it may be a 'grocery-getter', but I'll tell you this; It's MY grocery-getter and by the time we're done with this, it'll be one of the best configured, fun-driving vehicles around. Also, it's being helped along by a bunch of guys that are demons (pun intended) for attention to detail and precision. Thanks to Sandy and the team!

Once I decided this was the direction I wanted to go, it's been full steam ahead! We could have scaled back and just prettied it up to drive. And that would have been fine. But my wife and I decided to go as far as we could to breath new life into this auto. My brother had a slant six, my uncle had one and this car garners a lot of attention whenever I make my run to, yes, the grocery store, lol.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the whole thing turns out. I'm sure it'll be fantastic. Our intention is to someday retire, then to wear out many sets of tires on this Dodge as we discover the whole car culture.

Cheers,
Shawn

IMHO, there's nothing wrong with 4 doors.
Actually, i like them a lot and they are definitely stronger body wise than 2 door hard tops.
However, a lot of people still hate them and call them ugly, non performance, grandma cars, etc.
That's why they will probably never be worth much compared to the 2 doors and would be harder to sell even if the 2 door is rough and the 4 door is in much better condition.
Fix it up as an enthusiast and enjoy it, you will have a lot of fun!
And isn't that what it's all about?
