- a ***SERIOUS*** cleaning

Still needs:
==========
- full front end rebuild along with:
- - installation of 73 Duster LBP Front disc parts (have it)
- - installation of 73 Duster LBP rear end (have it)
- - installation of 14"x6" aluminum slots with current tires. (have it)

- installation of carb on Edelbrock performer intake (have it)

Big thanks to my buddy Mike for the car and tons of help and motivation. His garage is a much better workspace than the street in front of my house.

Also a super big thanks to Doug at Automotive Machine and Repair in Sterling, VA. If you need a competent shop and a square deal, that's the place.

Where it started...

Here's with new (but unpainted) shoes... Lots tougher look!

Very nice Dart. Love the copper color, clean lines of the '67 and the absence of a vinyl roof. Is the interior copper too?

Thanks everyone. It is a good starting point and a lot of fun to run around in. Not so much fun in rush hour traffic at 100 degrees. :-(

It does have a copper interior, although much of it needs to be replaced.

Unfortunately it is slowly killing my free time and checkbook, one issue at a time.

Coming home last night I noticed smoke out the back. I pulled over and saw a drip line showing where I had been. It is leaking oil bad enough to leave a trail and some is getting on the exhaust manifold and causing smoke.

So... it's parked again... Ugh. I know what I'm doing this weekend.
