Finally on FABO!
Well I’ve Never had an A-body but I’ve enjoyed reading about the builds y’all do around here. I’m just another old guy who’s finally trying on an A for size. I just picked a ‘64 Dart GT ragtop that someone started on and then stopped, leaving it to languish in the field, barren, apart, naked.
It looks bad, I ain’t lying.
Two factors have combined to make it seem worthwhile; it’s a convertible and most importantly, the guy had already acquired a bunch of spendy parts. This helps to ease the pain for me.
Me: I live in East Texas, car guy all my life, have owned 66,67 B-bodies, and back in the day, SS Chevelles and Olds products. My brother has had a slew of Mopars through the years, currently a Superbird AND a T/A... I’m extremely jealous. My Dad was a Mopar man for decades, big into Old Imperials plus the occasional Newport, Monaco, New Yorker.
I’ve got some catching up to do as I’ve not had a Mopar project in some years. So, enter the Yard Dart.
I have no idea how long it will take but it will keep me entertained.
The threads in FABO are a gold mine of info AND importantly, encouragement to get the next step done.
I’m looking forward to hanging around.
