64dart170 "Baby" restore thread. She wanted one too!
Hey guys.
Gonna start a restore thread on my 64dart170!
Baby was getting jelious of the others. I will be upgrading seats, windlace, and a whole bunch other stuff too. By end of 2010 she'll be good as brand new again!!
I will be posting pics of her going through a bunch of changes that took place before I even heard of FABO! Wish you guys were here then but I will try to get us cought up with what little pics I have from work already done pre FABO., so I wasn't really planning posting any where. Won't read as funny as our other cars threads. Just a quick pic history to show me progress but FABO can look too! Thanks for the place to put her history.
Baby has been through 3 winter with me as a daily driver. This winter was the first she didn't have to see salt.
I bought her on Ebay in the last 5 min of the auction. The bidding was only at $1600.00 and ever sense I bought the 69 with my son, I've wanted one for me like I had in High school. I had already cashed an old IRA and had money ready. I ran in a bid of $2250.00 and won it at $2200.00!
My son walked in the hjouse just whem me and ABB were frekin out about that moments win. He asked "Whats goin on did we win the lottery?" I said heck yea and check my winnings! He looked at the computer screen and said, "YOU... Just bought THIS CAR?
Yeap! shure did.
You finally lost it haven't ya John, buying sight unseen on Ebay? You're crazy" leaves the room laughing at me shaking his head.......
1 Week later it arrives by truck when I was an hour away at work. My neighbor called me and signed for it.
I got home and saw all these rust holes around back glass. Then the wet smell inside the car. I WAS IN LOVE!!!!:love7:
I've never looked back.
Check the pics for Baby's history so far. She is going to be Awesome when I getrdone this year. She gets a whole fresh paint job later too!
So without further adue I introduce (for those who don't already know her)
Baby to FABO! FABO, this is "BABY". I know too old to be a Baby but she likes to be babied and she makes her tires cry when she gets mad at someone!!!8)
Going to start with few pics of Baby art, then the first real picture of BABY I ever saw of her on EBAY at the Dodge dealer just outside Savanah GA.
I'll be adding to thread all weekend. Just a warning!
First pic to look like car in original move "Repo Man" LOL!!
