    Looking for my old 70 340 Dart

    Hey gang.......been a while. Wondering what ever became of my old Dart. LM23H0R221026. I sold it about 10 years ago to a member, Jim's 70 Dart. I haven't heard anything from him in the last 7-8 years and was wondering if it went to another owner or if he still has it. I am still on the lookout...

    Almost back in the family

    I was a regular on this site from 2005 until around 2010. Health issues and selling my 340 dart put me in a direction away from here. I would pop back on from time to time but really wanted to get back into another A body to feel like I was home again. I had a line on a 71 Demon, a little slant...

    I really miss my "family" on this board.

    For various reasons I haven't been around for awhile. For a long time I was here all the time, in fact January will be my 10th anniversary here.

    I was shocked to see the post about my "giveaway" dart.

    I know that Joe doesn't come on this site too often so to see he posted about the Dart was a nice surprise to me. I met Joe when I was selling my car and he wanted it...but was too young and not in the right position. When we spoke on the phone for the first time, I asked to speak to his mom or...

    My Buddy's daughter wants to learn how to drive a stick. The only car he has with a manual trans is a 69 GTO judge so that is what she is learning on. I learned on my dad's 69 Hemi Charger about 30 years ago. So...what did you learn on?

    I cut up my 340 Duster with a sawzall

    Ok, ok...it wasn't really a sawzall it was a razor blade. I bought a 70 dart resin kit but it was a static kit, meaning the hood didn't open. I needed an A body as a donor car... so in came the 340 duster. Here are some in process pics of the build. I am adding to my FABO junkyard!

    Cleaning parts in the shower?

    Rani's question about cleaning parts in the shower got me thinking, are there any other "different" ways or out of the ordinary "tools" you use for cleaning part or restoring your cars? I have a dishwasher and an oven (both $10 yard sale finds) in my garage. The dishwasher I hook up a garden...
