Hoping somebody will tell me that my thought makes sense (or doesn't). 74 Dart Sport, 65k miles, 225 and an auto transmission. Other than a couple patches of steel in the floor boards, the car is bone stock, including the drum brakes. I drove the car the other day, something I've only done...

I just picked up a set of US Mags off of Craigslist, for free. The price was right regardless of whether or not I can make this set of wheels work on my 74 Dart Sport. All four wheels have a 3.5" backspace and the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. Fronts are 15x7.5 Rears are 15x9 They were on an...

After much soul searching, I've decided to sell my Dart. This was purchased new by my wife's grandfather and, considering its age, hasn't put very many miles on its own wheels...just ~65k. I won't bore you with any more of my in-law's history with the car...unless you ask. First the good...

While I haven't even bought a welder yet, let alone figured out how to work one, I'm starting to deal with the rust repair on my 74 Dart. In the spare tire well, driver's side, above the tank are some pin holes. Is there a good way to deal with this without pulling the tank? If they weren't...

So, the more I dig into the project, the less I want to do it. The biggest draw for me to work on this car is that my wife's grandfather bought it new. It also only has 64k miles. It runs great, although it needs a tune up. The brakes are, well, 4 wheel drums and act accordingly. The tires...

74 Dart Sport First off, what the heck are the rubber thingies called that stick like 15 feet out from my bumper? If I knew what they were called I could probably do a search for how to deal with the next item... When I rip those stupid things off, what would go in their place?

So, after three years of talking about it, I finally went and picked up my wife's grandfather's 74 Dart Sport. It needs a fair bit of work to make it pretty, but it runs o.k. and has low mileage. I'm starting to make my list. The first questions coming up are driveability. I don't need a...

At somepoint, I'm getting a '74 Dart from my father-in-law, it was my wife's grandfather's. I have great plans for it, but until I have a garage to implement these plans, it would just be nice to have a second car. In the meantime, the only thing wrong wit the car is that it leaks. Having...

I'm not welder and I don't own a welder. I need to repair the rust around the rear window of my 74 Dart. Am I stuck paying a body shop or is there an effective way to do this without welding? I know somebody will ask for pics so, sadly, I'll have to say up front, I don't have any and the car...

Is it possible to restuff a bench seat in such a way that it still looks like a bench seat but has some level of support like a bucket? It seems like it would be easy to use a soft foam where your butt and back go and firm foam next to that to create support. Has anybody done this? How well...

I've been lurking planning on what sorts of things I'll be doing to the '74 Dart I'm marrying in to. All I know about the car is that it has a /6, a bench seat, 60k miles, and it's green. I've never actually seen the car. I'm thinking about going turbo and I've been looking at how folks add...
