74 Dart Swinger

Nice car I like it. I'm currently working on a 75 ! Keep an eye out in the ads here for the door panel there was a member here that had a really nice one but I cant remember what side it was for. My suggestion is to only work on one thing at a time. Do not disassemble the whole car or anything more than what you are able to do in a days time. I would suggest you start with the safety component first. Ball joints bushings tie rods idle arm brakes, new tires etc. Then drive it enjoy it and upgrade as you drive it. It's more enjoyable that way.

Thanks for your reply. I have taken baby steps up to this point. Car hadn't run in 4-5 years when I got it. Main focus was to get it running and mechanically sound (enough anyway). Main thing remaining there is to rebuild the power brake vacuum booster. Ordered after market, but keeps getting delayed- guessing it comes out of China? So, I am going to have the original rebuilt. Finally, after more than a year, I have sent it to get body and paint. Since it is there, I am trying to replace what I can that makes sense while it is there. Is too much $ at one time, but still less now since so much is dismantled. Ball joints, bushings, tie rods, and idle arms yet to come when necessary. Wish I had the tooling and know-how to do those myself and save some $!
