Like Father, Like Son: The Story of my 1970 Dodge Dart

How to eat an Elephant ... One bite at a time .

What is the Plan , Race , street or driver ?
For now, I don’t intend to race it, but the 440 is definitely too exotic to be on the street for long. I’ve been told I need to swap the pistons and cam/lifters to get it better suited for street use. I’m still kind of at a loss there.

My big issue now is say, the trunk floor needs replaced, so do the rear frame rails, quarters, trunk extensions, and tail panel/bumper support. I have no idea where to start. To me it seems weird to weld a new floor to half rotten frame rails, then hack it off and continue down the line. If that’s normal practice then that’s what I’ll plan on.

I’m just a bit green and worried if I tear the whole thing apart and weld in supports, that I’d never get it back together right.
