Not too bad but i can tell ya i will never do this again, LOL...i say that but im a glutton for punishment.

I've seen that at the Mopar Nats. Love it. My mother had a new '74 Scamp with a /6 and a sunroof. It was Black with Black interior and Black vinyl top. I remember as a little boy sitting on the roof (thru the sunroof hole), at the drive in movie theater in that car. My dad sold it 2 years later because it was rusting away already. He tells me it had new fenders installed under warranty.

Anyways your car reminds me of that car from when I was a kid. I love the color as well. I took a bunch of photos of it when I saw it.

Floyd - cool project. This is the first I saw the thread (Denny mentioned in his thread about your thread and here I am). I'm subscribed.

I've enjoyed my build also but the scamp will end up completely different
than planned.There's been times I told friends to bring a gun over and put
me out of my MISERY
 
sorry Floyd ...no 70 Dart steering wheels....

wasn't much of anything really...but ...it is November in Ohio..BBRRRRRRR
 
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 he took it and the car was ours. Here are some pics taken this past Veterans Day weekend when we uncovered the car for a clean up and wax.
