Getting to know me part 4
As you read earlier We ordered the '66 in Oct of '65 we took delivery Dec 23 1965 just in time to give it to mom for Christmas .
Time goes by it's now 1975 and the Dart has a few scrapes and dings . So I decide to paint it , mom would like it to be pale yellow . But the car has lines and is begging to be bold ,
so I draw a picture of what I want and hand it to the painter and turn him loose .
This is what she got ...
Well not the Rally wheels anyway . She got the stock 13' wheel covers .
After I acquired the Dart I changed the wheels and tires to steel 5x 14" and 235 60R14's as seen in the avatar .
In the 90's I was hit by a gal in the right rear quarter just behind the wheel opening in front of the bumper who then took off .
I found a quarter in a wreaking yard and insurance covered the repairs . Now most of the right side was repainted .
Fast forward to 2018 the paint is showing its age and that quarter has a bit of cancer . So off to the body shop for patch panel and other minor body work and a new color and that leads to the interior and so goes the project . '73 up disc brakes Hellwig front sway bar Rally wheels 8 1/4 rear axel for now . I still have to reassemble the trim and interior put in the rear axel stop the trans leak recharge the a/c or go ahead with the plan to put a 360 in it .
One would have thought this was the year to do all that what with no travel this year , BUT NO ! I didn't , I made sure that the new big screen TV didn't fall off the wall ! I kept an eye on it at least 18 hours a day ! It must have worked it's still on the wall :)
