My 74 Dart Swinger

It sure looks like a great start to a pretty clean car.
How many miles are on it?
What are your plans for the build when you finally have the money to do what you want to it?
I think your strategy is right on for now, cleaning it up best you can and getting on the road and driving it right away.
Too many people take their cars completely apart and then they sit, only to lose interest in them.
Good on you!
