63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)

I want in decal, somewhere to show SUPER SIX, maybe MOPAR along the rocker panel, and I do like the double slashes that's on Tincups hood/fender. I wish there was a program to illustrate ideas.

 
If it hadn't been for Tincups build, I probably wouldn't have wound up on this forum~ I was running out of ideas for a build~ he ignited my build
:thumbsup:
 
I agree, I also really like the color!

One great thing about good car forums like FABO, it helps to stimulate the brain and see other people's ideas and goals.

We just have to be able to recognize stuff guys do after a case of beer!!! :thumbsup:
 
Hay Dne , I was just over a the Chevy truck forum looking at the thread about one piece windows and on pg 7 I found pictures of your truck .
I would post them BUT I can’t from my computer because I’m locked out after changing my password 3 times.
So I’m also locked out of the truck forum for the same reason.
Fortunately I haven’t logged off on my phone so for now I can post here .
 
So I grabbed a couple of pictures you’re truck off my computer and here they are

Ok after much messing around I got the password fixed on the Lap Top and iPad .

I also cropped your pictures ... Now it's easier to read .

For the MoPar crowd Dne' built this truck back when she lived in Houston before Harvey came to town and flooded her out . You can see her Mustang in the background , it and her Triumph got flooded and after moving to Cypress she rebuilt them . But when the Flood came the finished truck was on high ground in storage someplace else in Houston . Now you know the rest of the story . The Lady is an assume builder .

Hey Glen, sorry I didn't catch your call, we've been working like crazy people getting this fence going. Still have another day I'm sure~ it's non-stop action and wear n tear on my body! lol After we finished for this day, I got back into the house and crashed!! This is just half of the fence~ we'll be getting to the rest of it in a few weeks. We were quoted around 15k to replace it, so we decided to take matters into our own hands~ unfortunately, neighbors don't have the funds to help. But so far about 2k in materials and helps to have a tractor and lots carpentry tools
Thank you for visiting the old truck site and posting the pics~ haven't been on there in quite a while, especially since I had sold the '59 a while back to pay for the 72 bronco project. The Bronco is quite awesome. :)

Anyway, bear with me, I'll give you a call this weekend when I'm recovered from the fence work :lol:

our yard is rather raised due to the sewer field which takes up most of this lot. We'll be adding some soil, then maybe sod along the fence.

I know this was taken at a restaraunt nearby our old home. hm, about 2014

Our '72 Bronco, my God lots of body work, panel replacements; long story. Gary, Chewie and I

This was my dads tractor he bought new in '76. after he passed, it sat at a friends home for years. I got it and restored it, I used it to pull the posts out of the ground and level the ground.

I’m glad you posted some of your other projects on here it gives the members here a better sense of your abilities .
You go girl
 
I know this isn't exciting, but it's just part of life fixin other stuff, can't always be working on the dart~ lol. A couple or so weeks, we'll get on the next segment of the fence. I know we'll be "more better" on the next segment :lol:

Thank you :thankyou: Kind of funny, when someone asks what classic cars I have, mm, give me a minute~ sometimes I just about leave one out when listing. No other color could go on an early Ford tractor, has to be Ford Blue :lol:

Nice little Ford!!! Good job! It almost wants to make you paint a Mopar Ford blue doesn't it!!! :poke: :popcorn::rofl::poke:
Wait, I think you have a Mustang!!
 
Going through one of my builds, sometimes I sit back, I did that! This was an incredible build for me, the Dauntless V6 ran fantastic! Just sharing old stuff, should have kept it:(

Wow, it was a nice day, so I was able to get after the fenders. I had already worked on them, so it was just filling other lows, finished today by putting epoxy, then high build. I'll re-block them when the time comes. Then I cleaned up shop, got Gary to help me push the dart body back into the tall shop~ I'll be working on it next :thumbsup: I may be moving too fast now:lol:

no body work today, rain and cold all week, but played with the dash. I would like a gps speedometer, the one shown is in my Triumph TR6. I found out later that they make one with less mph, like 120. This is all play right now, I have some patching to do on the lower glove box and thinking maybe to close off the ash tray/or not, easier to Not,but need to repair/modify the existing radio hole for a modern day radio. The A/C switch panel thing is left over, but looks like it may fit there, or just see what else is out there. I do need an end panel without the push button/parking brake thing.
I was thinking red interior, might be a little strong of a red, but so was the original red interior.
This day shot by:(
