After an extended stay at the body shop, my dart is finally back home. Now the fun begins. The colour is brilliant black metallic. Really pops in the sun.

Looks fantastic!! Cant wait to see it as it gets put back together!!!!!
 
Sweet, looks awesome! I can't wait to get my Dart back from the painter.
 
WOW!,I would be nervous about putting it together!,congrats on a beautiful car.
 
Very nice! Congrats on your paint. It looks VERY nice!! I would be a nervous wreck putting it back together...!
 
Beautiful car... good luck and post the progress pics, pant, pant, pant!:-D
 
Lookss like mine only blue about 6 weeks ago also looks straiter than mine your luckey.good luck with reaselemby.
 
Looks Sweeeeeeeeet. The bodyshop looks like it did a good job.
 
Thanks for the comments. Took the guy a year and a couple of months, but I figure with a black car, give him all the time he needs!! As for drivetrain, Orginally, I had planned to use the numbers matching 340, but it was too far gone to rebuild the way I wanted to. Still have the block and would be ok for a stock rebuild if I get the urge to go that way. I have a 30 over 360 built waiting to go in. I had it on the dyno but found out after the fact it wasn't calibrated properly so real numbers are still a guestimate. Should be good for 420 hp and 450 tq, however the dyno said 370 hp and 415 tq. Backed by a 4 speed with 3.55's in the 8 3/4 rear. The rearend and trans have been gone through. Have to pick up the rearend from the shop with new gears and strange axles. Had 4.11's in it hardly used if anyone is interested.

Have the painless wiring kit waiting to go in and then plumbing for brakes and fuel.

I have a question, what do you think rims like abodyjoe's would look like on this car?

Should also add, that it will be wet sanded in the Spring, after I get it road worthy, just to handle any of those possible mishaps when putting it back together.
 
Nice. Care to tell us a little more about the internals of the engine? Cam specs, pistons, etc....
 
The specs are
73 360 block .03 over
stock stroke
69 340 stock rods
kb362 pistons
rotating assembly internally balanced
mildly ported eddy mag heads
roller rockers 1.6 intake, 1.5 exhaust
cam 279/281 advertised, 229/235 .050 Lift .511" in .501"ex (with ratio taken into account)
eddy air gap intake
eddy AVS 800 cfm carb
 
Looks great.
It's all nuts and bolts from here on out.

Yeah would look good those wheels like ABJ has as well as many other wheels.

If it were mine I would do some old school Cragar ss wheels, but it's not my car.
