well heres my 73 Dart Sport ive had since June 25th last year. its coming up on almost one whole year of restoration. its been a pain and its been fantastic. people ask me why i bought such a piece of ****. all the time people tell me you shoulda bought this or that. well why didnt you buy something that was done. well. you know the feeling where you put so much effort into any given thing? building something or fixing something. you know the feeling of accomplishment? i do. the only thing better then looking back at what it looked like and see what it looks like now and sayin damn. i built that, is the closing in, ever so slowly when the day will come when i pull this monster out on the street. people will know why i tirelessly worked on it in side and out on 100+ degree days. dusk till dawn when i coulda enjoyed the ac. and knowing that those same people who talked down on it will want to go for a ride in it is joy enough. they will not know what its like to accomplish such a thing. for me its heaven.. this is when i bought Darla. 400 bucks and she was all mine.
here she is gettin prettied up gettin worked on. come a long way.

i put 2000 bucks into everything on this car. not counting the 400 i paid for it and small things. like duct tape and band aids. lol. im thinkin 2500 into since june. i need another 800 or so with frame and brakes. plus 600 for engine rebuild and a hefty cam. so maybe 4000 bucks to get everything done the way it want. im hoping to have her done buy Mopars at Carlisle. i have til July 10th. test and tune 1 day then go up. hopefully i get her done so i can work on my Charger SE. the Dart will still be my fav. ever tho its only a 318 and Charger is a 440. passion
here she is gettin prettied up gettin worked on. come a long way.
