63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)

-
They are really hard to find for any A body. Saw them in a trunk of a parts car in a pic. I got lucky. Yes old mans car with a attitude. Pretty fun. Has around 500HP in it.
 
I have another question, when I was driving the Dart the other day, and the coolant temp was 145 degrees after a decent drive, is my thermostat stuck open? IT was a new T stat, a 180 degree. I was going to drive it, but not feeling that great today, but may just let it run and see what gives.

I had another gauge and let it run for another 10 minutes

Though there's more to do, but my '63 Dart I can call a driver.

Thinking back, when I chose my dart, almost 3 years ago, I had no idea of what I wanted to "restore", I was out of ideas and kind of ready to call it quits and just play with what I have. However, when I came across Tincups build, I was greatly inspired, though I could never duplicate his type of build as I don't have the knowledge, skills, but I did what I could do within my level of skill. But I don't think Tincup was reliant upon the ForAbodies as much as I have been. I've learned a great deal is an understatement! So, you guys were greatly part of my build, even if was just an occasional Like, but there were quite a few of you that went above and beyond, and you know who you are.
Now I'm anxious to show it off at the next car show/gathering :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Obviously Tincups;)

A good /6 will run very cool. When I lived in South Dakota I had to block 1/2 the radiator to get heat out of my 170 cu in Barracuda 4 speed.
 
I wish we could pluck a car out of a junkyard and get a title for it once again. Once junked a car can never be licensed for the road again here.
 

My brother did this image with his AI Grock app. for my birthday, but then the AI went on to write up a little "article" on its own, go figure;)
