Yes. I documented the entire restoration. It was ton of work and I'm really proud of the project. It's actually easier selling the car when I can just direct them to the thread.
I bought the car to learn mechanics but simply bit off more than I could chew. It was a very large project for even a very skilled guy….a dumbass like me had no chance! Haha! I was doing well and progressing quickly then it came to all the small detailed finesse work!! Gah! It just killed me. I don’t have the tools or the skill to complete the job on the budget I gave to myself. I don’t have the patience or skill to refurbish parts so I am buying everything new and it has put me way over budget.
I took the car as far as I could but ....it just makes no sense to me.....The prices of complete cars are absolutely tumbling yet the prices of Ebody parts are beyond ridiculous and continue to go up, so I am changing direction. A guy with more skill can finish this car for a reasonable cost....for me....I was essentially buying a new car!
I am stopping it and buying a completed Dart. If someone has a really nice 68-72 Dart they want to trade, I am open (trade must require absolutely no bodywork or new paint).
I want a car I will drive the snot out of it. The Challenger was turning out "too" nice. If that makes any sense.
