6 Dart 7 MOPAR OR NOCAR
okay so i bought my dart a couple months ago for $1500. it had a fresh rebuilt 318 which was very attractive . and thought it'd be just a front end rebuild and fix a little trunk rust and i'd have a good driver. but then on the way home, the tranny crapped out. so now i've bought a TCI 727. since i'm replacing the tranny, i decided to also swap out my small 7.25 rear end. so i bought my 8.75 rear with 3.23 sure grip gears. so...now after spending about 2 grand between the tranny and rear end, i'm waiting til i have money for the leaf springs and other various stuff. also, whilei was doing all this work under the car, i realized that the rear shocks were rubbing on the gas tank. so i did some research, and found out the idiot who owned the car before me put in the wrong gas tank. which means i'll be spending another 200 bucks on an OEM replacement tank. once i finish the tranny and rear end, i've still got to do my front end rebuild!
i want to be driving my dart sooo bad! cant wait til i am done. i've never swapped a rear end, or tranny before, and all of this stuff i'm doing is new to me!
i'm currently goin to college at Sac State, so as money and time allow, i'll be building up my dart. lol.
the other car that is my dads is a 74 charger SE. it was my grandparents car since 1975. it is bone stock! besides new centerlines. me and my dad rebuilt a motor to throw in that car, and just haven't finished the rebuild yet. but the charger has been my daily driver for the last few months, until last weeked when some wiring fried and i had to have the car towed home.
so..unfortunately, neither of my mopars will be at MOPAR MAGIC which is just 2 weeks away!!
sorry for writing so much guys..
