Hey guys, so after watching my projects rotting away for some time since life has led me astray, (working two jobs.. baby on the way.. etc), I finally began disassembly. Two nights of work have paid off i suppose. :cheers:
The Black/Green Dart i originally acquired in 2009. My first Mopar :glasses7:
That car has since become my parts car, mainly due to rust. I've since have collected a few projects, 67 and a 68 Coronet 500 and another 70 Dart. After contemplating what to start on, I chose to go with my original car, build my original mopar. I want to keep the slant six, I fortunately found a 2 barrel manifold/ electronic ignition an an a833 aluminum housing off a 77 aspen, dropped the transmission on my middle finger an broke it, Hell of a story.. removing a flywheel and manifold at a junkyard with a finger that looked like a sausage. Anywho I'd love to tell you my story but enough words here are some pics.
BY THE WAY YOUR GUYS' POST ARE INSPIRING AND THE REASON IM DOING THIS

What color will you be doing it?

Love the Coronet by the way, those are hard to find in my area.
I'd like to paint it in an olive drab with all black accents, I like the look of the cars done that way. I dont want to invest too heavily in this one, more of a diy project learning experience, the factory big block coronet is where ill sink the big bucks. Any links to your builds 70dartmike?
 
So i decided to go with new quarter panels. Have started on the removal of one. Here is
some Progress. You guys make this look way too easy. Any tips on quarter panel removal? i stopped when i got to the sail panel section, any tips on how attempt removal of the little bracket piece thats welded inside the sail thats connected to the quarter. I think i'll go with skin replacement next time. Anyone have a thread with in depth removal of the quarter?
