1970 Dart 340

BIG CHANGES!!!

I came upon a deal I just couldn't pass up. Last week I found a 440 block and heads on Craigs List for $100. The guy who was selling the block had a '73 Dart in his garage that was 100% media blasted. Inside, out, and underneath. The car is practically a cream puff compared to what I've been working on, so I bought it:eek:

All of those months of work on the Sublime '70 will now be put on hold. I will shoot primer over all the bare metal and park it out back until I am finished with the "new" car.

When I started I had a two year goal to get the Dart on the track. At the rate I was going, and with a ton of other "issues" that I have not even begun to tackle, I felt this was the right move.

Not only did I get the car for $500, but it came with a $500 Art Morrison roll cage kit as well. It also has 2x3 subframe connectors welded in. This time the right way.

I will setup the '73 with the '70 front clip and probably the '70 doors too.

So... this thread will be ending for at least a couple years and I will start a new thread for the new car.
