1970 Dodge Dart
Another update. Front nose and hood totally complete. All electrical components wired and working. Headlight switch and wiper switch mounted on dash inlay panel. Radio and speakers installed and working. I have an appointment Wednesday to drop her off at the muffler shop. Monday Morning I'll be headed to town to get license plates and insurance and she will be totally road worthy and legal, a true running driving project I can take my time and enjoy now that the essentials are done. Ill be getting carpet ASAP and making my own door panels as well as upholstering the cardboard style headliner with some crushed velvet. I also need to clean the nasty overspray off my wheels/tires and repaint the wheels to get everything looking good. This has been a very long bumpy road but one I'm glad to have traveled. 3 years ago I bought this car as a coping mechanism to deal with the premature death of the person I thought I was going to marry. In a way this car saved my life by getting me through the roughed patch of it all.
Also forgot to mention, under dash wiring will all be cleaned up routed and tied down over the weekend. We will also be doing new front/rear shocks.
