ok here goes nothing. hi my name is dylan and im 15 years old. i recently got a 71 dart swinger from my dad as a gift for my birthday. he bought the car and had plans to redo it. we bought it from a guy that collected mopars and we got it for 2500 and draged it home. so we got it to run found out it had a bad head gasket on the /6 so it sat in the garage in primer for about 2 years. finally we go to look at a nova some guy was gonna give to us and it was junk so my dad sen that i was disapointed so he offered me the dart and i couldnt refuse. the same day i went got a battery at started to work on it. a few weeks later me and my friend were board so we decided to pull the viynl top off and see wat was up with the rot so when we got it off there was rot EVEWERE. it was so bad the roof was no longer salvagable there was almost nothing holding the back window to the car lol. but the cars body was to nice to trash having no bondo or filler in any of the panels so i got a roof off of waggin for some big block parts so i got that waiting to got on. the we cut the front floors out cause they were rotted. then me and my buddy were getting anxious so i sold my atv and went and bought a 318 for the car cause the/6 would not cut it lol.then i saved up some more and met another member (yellow68runner) and i got a tranny k frame and headers for the 318. then i got really excited and me and my buddy pulled the /6 out of the car and got it out of here. then we pulled the front end off getting ready to do some work to it. i also took all the trim off and sold it to other memebers. i started to do some body work to it and when i couldnt do any more i started somthing else to keep it going. so one night i was thinking man wouldnt it be sweet if i could get a big block for my dart. well i posted an ad asking what i should do and homeclonded said he had a 383 that he would sell with a 727 for cheap so i sent him a pm and he sent some pics i had a little bit of cash and i got it for a freakin awsome price and i couldnt refuse so me and my dad drove down to st.pete and grabbed the new big block that was going in the car boy was i excited. so the next day my buddy comes over to help unload it off the trailer and i set the engine hoist in the grass (stupid me) and when we get the motor in the air and start to move the engine the hoist gets caught and tips with the motor on it pining me up against the car (that hurt). so my dad helped get it off we got the motor in the garage and we got and dolly for it to sit on and it bent the engine hoist legs so :( and i was not hurt and neither was the car lol. so no i am kinda at a stand still with the car cause im 15 and have no job and no money but i have plans to redo the heads and but a big cam in the motor. and put 2 bucket racing seats in the car and make a custom dash and paint it fj6 (green go) and maybe a fiber glass scoop and paint it black. and mini tub it with a nice set of star wheels and make it sound and look good it will be a while but it will be nice when it is done. well sofar thats were i am with my car here are some pics of it and the motors enjoy
