Man, what I would give to find a project like that! Looks to either have been a sounthern car or it sure led a sheltered life! Very solid! Wish that was mine!!!

I just checked this thread out from begining to end and love it. Just like you, money and time are our issues, but we also have no garage/out-building to work in, so our progress is no where as in depth as yours. You can check out our slow progress on our father/son project at...

Hope to get to a new yard to check out what they have this weekend. Dont know much about the yard or even if I am aloud to go inside and walk around, but will find out and hopefully get some pictures as well.

My son and I found our "father/son" 74 Dart Swinger here in Kempner, Tx. You can check out all our work thus far at; http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=44709. The thread is now 14 pages long. We also found the car on Craigslist for $1500. I offered the original owner $1000 and...

Well I got the Dart all polished out, body, chrome, and rims. Then cleaned all the windows, very time consuming, haha. But it pays off in the long run. Cover goes back on Monday since we are expecting 2.5+ inches of rain between Monday and Tuesday night. People were driving by the house today...

Today, Veterans Day, I uncovered the Dart for the first time since around early August. I got my truck washed and waxed last weekend and hope to get the Dart done tomorrow. Its looking a little grungy in these pictures. It will look much better after I get her all cleaned up again.

Well we moved out towards the edge of town because the owner of the home we were renting wanted to sell the home. We are happy with where we are now, but really want something bigger and possibly with some land. I am due to deploy next year and when I get back from that we plan to look for and...

I have this picture of the Dart all washed up right after we trailered it to our new house. I hope to wash and wax her all up this weekend and maybe even install the new replacement seats inside. If I do, (pending good weather) I will be sure to post updated pictures.

Driving on post yesterday and spotted this parked in front of the Class-VI store. I liked it even though its a 4 door. Not much going on with the Dart due to time and $$$ constraints. Its sitting under a new car cover in the driveway currently.

Yes, it's been a while since we have posted here but the Dart is still around. We changed the old cover on her today for a newer one and gave her a good hand wash and then a detail wipe down. We're about to move to a new home within the next 2 months so hopefully once we get situated, we can...

Thanks for the great comments and encouraging words. Our biggest drawback to getting much done on this car right now is space, we have none! We will be moving by June and are currently looking for a house in the country with some land and outbuildings. THEN, we can start our engine swap from the...

Arctic Blast hit us around 3am this morning. Yesterday was 70 degrees out and right now its 25 with wind gusts of 30+ mph! Wind blew the Darts cover off and then the rain got it wet. The cold froze it into the heap you see in the doorway of the house. Next 4 nights are supossed to be 15, 13, 18...

Well it has certainly been a while since my son and I got to do any work on the 74 Dart. Other than keeping it clean over the summer, it has basically sat since May. Whats worse is that the 73 Dart 4-door we are useing as a donar car has sat and not been started since about 10 months ago. Yes, I...

Went to a local car show today after one of my sons baseball games, (which they won 13-5 and he was the closing pitcher). Once we got home from the car show we uncovered both the Swinger and the D100 and wiped them down and I shot these pics. This is his last weekend of travel baseball, so maybe...

I was going through the Wrench-A-Part yard this past weekend looking for parts for my 1972 D100 I am playing with when I found this 79 pickup with a Tuff-Wheel inside. I used my steering wheel puller and took it right out so we can clean it up and put it into my sons Dart. I believe it will...

We traded in the "wifes", silver, 2007 Ram Lone Star with it's 4.7L. It had 42,500mi and I got a good deal on this truck during Dodges "Tent Event" thats on all the commercials on TV. Ordered a Tri-Fold bed cover last night, hope it gets here this week. I'm not trading my big beast any time...

Well we brought home our newest edition to our home, a 2010, Ram 1500, "Lone Star" Edition. The color is Austin Tan Pearl with a brown and tan interior. Family loves it and now we need to get a bed liner and cover to keep my wife cleaning supplies dry and safe.

Ok, here is the motor mentioned previously. Also has the radiator, A/C hookup, and some other stuff if I want it. The gentleman is asking $1,000 but I believe $800 might buy it if I show up with cash in hand, and since $$$ is tight, that would be best! I was wrong when I put 34,000 miles, its...

Heading out Saturday to see a 34,000 mile 318 w/904 thats in a garage that belongs to a friend of my next door neighbor. Any ideas on what I should offer? I plan to take pictures and will post them on here this weekend.

It's the original paint on both the D100 and the Swinger. Just lots of elbow grease and about three bottles, (thus far) of Kit Wax/polish, followed by either Meguirs or Turtle Wax carnuba wax as a 2nd coat. I still have the entire passenger side of the truck to do as well as the ceiling inside...

By driving by the house and seeing these vehicles plus my wifes silver 2007 1500 Ram Quad-Cab, do you think there is any doubt where our loyalties are in regards to vehicles of choice?!?! haha. The only other vehicle is a 1997 GMC Sierra Z71 4X4 that is my sons daily driver that I got for steal...

Just an update as to what we've been up to lately with the Dart and my new toy/project, a 1972 D100 we picked up off a ranch nearby for $1400. I wanted to save this truck so it wouldn't suffer a bad fate in someone elses hands, ie; run into the ground. You can see the actual thread which is now...

Here are pictures of this afternoons clean-up with water and then the treatment of Armor-All, plus pictures of the interior of the car right now that we will replace.

Well today my son and I spent some quality time pulling out the interior from the 1971 Dart to put into our 74 Dart. When we got there I mentioned to the owner that I wished I had brought a weed-eater to knock the over-growth down around the base of the car since we needed underneath to unbolt...

That ignition box has been replaced before. What you see melted is from the previous box from when we bought the car. It might be next weekend before we get a chance to re-check the car with our busy schedules. My son and I went out and checked a 69 RoadRunner with a 383/4-speed that a guy told...

We replaced the Ballast resistor today, with a $4.32 new one from Auto Zone. I was really hopeing this would work considering the condition when I removed it from the firewall. But the car continued to NOT start, so now it's on to something else. More to follow.

We need a little, (or a lot) of help. Our current problem started before the show when the car would occasionaly let out a small backfire when idleing the few days before the show. Then when driving, it ran very rough, accelerating poorly and feeling as if it was on 7 cylinders. We got to the...

This old military M37 was the show winner! It was certainly the choice of my entire family as well. The owner actually takes the car to Fort Hood and welcomes troops home with it. Besides being a military vehicle, it also served in Florida as a grass fire truck hauling a water tank in the back...

This "Rat-Rod" was jusr awesome! Loved the wasp nest over the passenger seat, the Farmall tractor grill, and zoomie pipes.

Here are a few more shots and cars from the show. 1970 Challenger, (last years over-all winner) Ford T-bucket with 440 76 Cordoba 70 Dar GT Barracuda w/ monster motor Satelite w/ 4-speed
