1972 Dart I picked up for a parts for myself

^ what Dartnut said.

Heater boxes and hoods are not hard to find.

I'm gonna have to disagree with that. It depends on the hood, and the area of the country. Some hoods, like 70-72 Dodge A body, are hard to find now. Heater boxes are 45-50 yrs old and dry out, fiberglass cracks up.

This is a hobby, for most of us. Not everyone can afford to truck a nice hood across the country from Arizona or somewhere. Yes, it's a shame to part out a decent car. If it was in my driveway now, I wouldn't have the coin to put gas in yet another old car.
