None but the first aspen and the untop (just got it, and haven't started yet, respectively) look anything like they did when I first got them lol Also these are only some of the keeper cars I have, I might have more and haven't told anyone yet :snakeman:


Too bad your not closer I have all the sheet metal in inventory that you would need to fix that puppy

 

[Relax360]

I picked up my 67 notchback for 2700 didn't have a motor but I didn;t have to replace a single panal

 

[macho781988]

ok so now that youve seen the car wat do you guys think? and from wat ive seen its all original sadly. cause im not a fan of slant sixes or any six for that matter id like to have a 360 4spd and 3.55s and the gauges look like a granny car and i hate bench seats. i do love the color though but the roof will be black and i want the dart hood scoops with hood pins and of course a cd player. the swinger logos stay but it had a trim piece running down the side that i dont really want on there. i figured for 700 bucks id have a pieced together car not original dammit. also the 4spd i have cam out of a truck but it is a side shift with shift rails not a top loader will it work? and also i know i have rallye wheels but i want aluminum slots so i guess i want iyour guys opinion is it too rare to make a hot rod, my grandfather says leave it as is but hes old and hates my lil brothers fox body mustang hot rod, so i dont really listen to him cause he hates hot rods absoulutley hates them but you guys are knowledgable so give me your opinions

 

[340plot]

that new carb looks so out of place.lol

 

[macho781988]

the father and son i got it from swear up and down its been rebuilt and cleaned only its not a new one. and i just decoded the vin it is a swinger with the six and its made in canada. so now i know its all original disgust damnit i prolly should be really excited it is all original but sixes belong in those wind up toys japan call cars. so is there anyone here who would be pissed if i swap the slant for a 360?

 

[tiltsix]

Hey its yours ,,,,,,,,,,,build it the way you want it.By the way cool car and nice score.

 

[varlo]

I don't think I did too bad on this one.

[macho781988]

well alright then i really think if i can keep up with it the stuff i wanna do will make a nice car, the 360 4spd will make a nice hot rod for adrenaline rushes and power while still being pretty tame, the gauges i want are the aftermarket white faced ones you find in orielys. the scoops just add to the muscle look, bucket seats thats just my preference, cd player and loud speakers im 23 wat can i say? im sure im missing alot of stuff id like to do but those are just for starters. ill be sure to make a thread when me my dad and my uncle start the metal work.

 

[macho781988]

hey a quick question but how you do start up a poll?

 

[Old Tired Rebel]

Nice score. Yep build it the way you want and if you are in my area soon I know of a yard where you can get a lot of sheet metal to repair around the rear window.

 

[macho781988]

well my dads kind of spearheading the metal fab work he says we can put a plate under all the holes and fill them in with bondo and sand down to a nice finish and paint the top black and redo the blue is that b5 btw?

 

[Dusterdude72]

ouch.....looks like its got a bit of rot in it, but nothing that can't be fixed.

build it your way man, don't let others opinions stop you from making it how you want.....if its just a 6 cylinder car factory than by swapping in a v8 you will not be hurting the value on the car.

not to mention building the car yourself and doing all your own work makes for a great sense of accomplishment and pride in the car when it is done.

congrats on the deal and good luck on it.

as for my deals, I have got tons of cars for cheap but as for my mopars.....I picked my 72 duster up for $500.00

 

[RustyRatRod]

That bad rust in that problematic of an area wouldda had me runnin the other way, but you know what? I applaud you for having the gumption to be proud of it. It's yours and what's more....it can be fixed. Not easily, but it can be fixed. I like it. Good luck with it.

 

[macho781988]

thanks guys i got a better job offer today and hopefully i get it cause then i can grab up a 360 crate motor and maybe that new passon 5spd i read about. so i will build it my way cause i think adding a v8 4spd would bring better value to the car. the /6 runs great any offers on the motor or trans?

 

[mattsmopars]

Cut out the rust and weld in a patch panel from a donor car. You will be glad you spend the time to do it now verses doing it agian later. Matt

 

[macho781988]

thats wat i kept saying to do id get ahold of someone here and buy a patch panel but they want to do it their way so ill let them and if they f*ck it up then theyll fix it but they swear up and down it will work cause they can get to the underside of the rust but i have my doubts but we shall see

 

[macho781988]

ok so the new passon 5spd is out cause they want 4300 bucks for one. found some crate motors and one caught my eye a 360 with 375 hp for $1996 with a choppy idle or a 360 with 350 hp for the same price with a lopey idle, wats the difference? also im keeping the blue cause its a nice color and im going with a black top, so if you guys got a blue dart with a black top id like to see pics of it with wat motor trans combo you got and shots of the interior and any special mods you did to it. pm them to me so i can get some cool ideas thanks.

 

[72ScampTramp]

Is that a rimbow steering wheel?

 

[macho781988]

ya know idk wat kind of wheel it is i was hoping someone could tell me i like it but after the cars done id like to have it black
