The Yard Dart, a Reclamation. '64 Dart GT Ragtop
I've got a ton of decisions to make about so many aspects of this, it truly is a clean slate.
I think I’m leaning toward a very stock appearance, all the chrome trim etc.
just fat tires, stance and sleeper performance. The interior will have a custom dash/console/AC but probably retain very stock seats.
Looking at the other builds on the site, clearly there will be extensive mods to the tunnel and minitubs plus, no doubt, a bunch of rust repairs.
It should be fun!
I already have the tires and wheels (275/40-17). Since i’ll have to tub it even for these, I’ll go ahead and build I t for 305s like Chuckbizkits did.
The rear is already in there but has no brakes at all so I’ll need to decide on those pieces. The front of course has discs.
I’ll need to sort out many details, mainly what engine and trans.
That will depend on what pops up at the right price.
Preference of course would be a 6.4 and a manual... budget will likely dictate a 5.7/auto from a high mileage pickup.
We’ll see.
At this point there are many many pieces missing.... it’s an adventure in the making.
