need help

its not bad it seems like the metal is good BUT the no motor no trans kinda puts me off.... do you still have said rust bucket if so id swap the electrics and drive train, and it should be a nice car.let me warn you though i have gone down this road also ,ive had my dart for 6 years i bought her when i was 15. first time i could drive it for more than 3 days was this year but in fairness it did sit for 2 of those years.mopar gets expensive quick if you try to coble something together. if i were you i would do what i wished i did years ago.

when your swaping the drive train

compression check the motor if its even starting to get low at least rering it nothing worse than getting your "baby" together than having her leaving you stranded,

have the trans gone through it will cost you about 500 to have a shop check it and put new clutches in it if its and auto or the 904 is SIMPLE you and your dad or other older car guy could rebuild it yourself in a weekend,

go throught the electricals as your cleaning them up(as in clean all the connections) if any thing is burned or out of spec repalce it,

and finnaly this one will sound stupid cause you never here about either,
rebuild the rear end( bearings and fluid also check the wear while your in there) and rebuild the drums

and congrats on the 73 i think you will love it,just remember that a mopar isnt transportation its a lifestyle and love
