After WAY too many years disassembled after paint, it’s almost road worthy.
I’ve owned this 383 4 speed Dart since 1987

Gotta love that Dart.
Purchased from ad in Hemings July ‘87. Drove it from Houston TX to New York. 100% OEM bone dry sheet metal. Collected 90% of trim parts with NOS items. Stripped it to a rolling shell and had it painted in 2001. Kids became priority with sports and coaching and the car sat in my garage. Sent the numbers motor out for a rebuild spring ‘21 (391 hp on the dyno with headers). This was my retirement project to reassemble. Wife got a promotion and transfer to Florida fall ‘21 and I couldn’t move It in pieces. Found a competent shop in NY to put it together. That was a life saver as we had such a short window to escape NY. Looking forward to year round use!

Wow! You drove it home? That is very cool thank you for sharing.
Finally in my Florida garage. Jim Rhinehart transported it from NY! Great to have it finished after way too many years in various stages of disassembly!
NICE !

Who in NY did the assembly work for you? Turned out fantastic. Such a clean looking build.

They did a terrific job and I can’t give them enough praise.
i Would highly recommend them. I observed many quality paint jobs on high end Mopars during my visits. My car was painted when I dropped it off as a bare shell roller.

That's a beautiful car. I bet it's a hoot to drive.
It is, but I have only had it out a few times as it has been SO hot recently. Black interior and no AC is the limiting factor for a few more weeks. I’m just enjoying looking at it in the garage for now

Wow just wow! Beautiful car!
Attended the first car show this past weekend at FT Clinch, FL. First time the car has ever been out since 2000….
