My 69 Dart "AKA" The Blue Mutt

here was a disaster waiting to happen find - scary to think when it would have broke, have finally made a little progress beyond just cleaning parts, a day off today will get some more progress hopefully, feel like I have been on a weekend camping trip with nothing but cash to burn for the campfire, gonna start looking for my local chapter of carholics anonymous today LOL
