Got the pass side all welded up today and picked up a hood for it.

Thanks! Better late than never I suppose :lol:

Today's progress, can start patching everything up tomorrow.

Got the cover plates off the firewall and started sanding, the F8 under them was still nice and shiny haha. Probably been on it since the '70s.

Got it dropped off so I can start on it next week.

Got it loaded up to take over to a buddy's shop so I can do the engine bay body work and paint. I'll do the rest of it later on after the car is going.

I messed with it a little today, still waiting on the retainers for the hood hinges to show up. Dug through my hoard and found the latch support and all the needed hardware for install.

Hit up the Indy swap meet and got some nice hood hinges, engine paint from Mancini and new in box set of Johnson solid lifters.

Looks like a good start for a tube chassis drag car, it already needs 2 frame rails anyhow.

Got the top end tore off the 340 tonight, doesn't look much different inside than it did when I put it together over a decade ago.

Got the bay stripped a little more today, going to go look at a couple parts cars tomorrow hopefully.

Depends on who you ask, they're fun to autocross. Last one had a decently built 2.4 turbo in it :lol:

Where I ended the day off at, rust isn't bad at all for a car that has sat more than ran since the mid '90s.

Yeah, I'm mostly on the neon forums these days. Decided it was time to make a little progress on this thing.

Got the engine out today and power washed the bay/engine off. Basically back to square one with it.

Finally felt like messing with it some, got the engine ready to pull one day this week. Then I can start on body work in the engine bay.

1975 Dodge Dart

ed Quay Race Cars

Tried to start it but realized starter is junk and left rear brake refuses to let loose to make it easier to push. Like never got it moved far enough to lift it lmao. Sadly I used a stock starter when I put it together all those years ago (and hedman headers), have a magnum mini starter to put...

Got it pulled around to where I can work on it better. Put a freshly rebuilt 750cfm holley on it, verified engine wasn't stuck, oil looks clean. Depending on weather tomorrow might toss a battery in it, check spark and see if it'll fire up.

Messed around with the fiberglass front bumper for it yesterday. Probably try to start it soon then pull the engine to paint the bay/patch inner fenders.

The widths are in here, it centers on the marker light basically. 1970 dodge dart swinger rear bumble bee stripe

Cut the patches out of a parts car the other day to repair the inner fenders come spring time. Mostly trying to stock pile parts for when I feel up to getting back on it.

Found these from when the car was bought around '75.

Talk about bumping an ancient thread, but hopefully going to fool with the car come summer. Have some parts that have been kicking around for it. So much for running the factory tail panel on the car I guess too.

Didn't you get beat by two crappy neons last year at moparty? :poke: Didn't feel like spending the money it'd require to finish getting parts to install it.

Howdy haha, yes I had a pretty rotten '73 Duster I used a bunch of the interior from in this car early on. The original steering wheel drove me nuts.

Sold it all last year, housing etc went to MN and the center went to a buddy in IN

Got the car out not too long before I got sick and went to a local show. '65 belongs to a buddy that I dropped a 440 into for him.

Put the carpet in a while back finally. Don’t really drive it as much anymore.
