Wife is NOT as enthusiastic....hence one of the reasons why she is now the EX-wife.

ok, so it's been a while. I have basically been in the parts gathering stage of the project. I have found almost all of the interior parts, and am getting ready to do ball joints and bushings. Once I start taking stuff apart I'll post more pics. But there's other news... Along the way I sold...

Some progress. Its hard to get stuff done during the week because of work and all, but I still managed to get a couple things done. First up, registration.The car hasn't been registered since '96, and as I thought, it has dropped out of the system. However, the car has changed hands a couple...

Ok, so a slight hiccup....was playing around with it last night, and found gas in the oil, and at least the #2 and #4 plugs are wet with gas. I don't think its fatal (and yes, I know to be careful of spun bearings), but it does need to be addressed, immediately. The things that come to mind...

Deal, but I have to tell you, the tires are good for rollers only. The car sat in the desert for a long time, and the tires have dry rot.

Close.....:grin: She hit a parked trailer doing about 35 - 40 mph. Took out the lower control arm, sway bar link, steering link, and broke the axle. Also wasted the lower ball joint, and popped the tire and broke the wheel. Fun stuff.

I got it!!!! I picked it up yesterday morning and then we drug it over to my buddy's shop. But before I could work on the Dart, I had to fix my Lincoln that my daughter thoughfully wrecked for me while getting her 2nd DUI. That's a whole other story, but before I get into the dart....what's...

No pics yet (just a couple of crappy craigslist pics...posted in the Welcome Wagon). Believe me, I'll have pics starting from picking it up and putting it on the trailer all the way to driving it to my first meet. 49 hours and counting... Here's some Jeep **** for you....this was my bitchin'...

Disk brakes, power steering, used to be an AC car but some distant DSPO took all that off. ZERO (read: zip, nada, nil, nothing) rust. I know I'm spoiled living out here :glasses1:

Well, it's time to start the build thread for my '73 Swinger. But first, a little back story.... I fell in love with Darts when I was 9 years old. My older cousin Holly got a Swinger for her 16th birthday, and I remember visiting the family in California and seeing that car for the first...
