Back to basics
2LearnMore - You're 100% right. I'm doing the same thing in drawing from the knowledge/talent pool here on FABO and incorporating the available information in my plans for my build.
Never be afraid to ask any question as you'll always get a quick and friendly answer.
I'm interested to see how your build progresses.
I've been accumulating parts for the past 2 years as the budget allowed. I've also been talking with local painters for the past several years and finally decided on one today. I've got a tentative date set for Sept. 1 for my Dart to go in for paint. Now the fun starts as I need to pull the engine/tranny, strip the interior and glass out, and pull the bumpers and window trim before it goes in for paint.
Guess I'll be starting a build-progress thread soon.
Do the same for yours so we can follow the progress.
