I have been spending quite some time on this site since my 18-year old son bought his first car about a month ago (1969 Dart Custom Sedan with the /6), and I gotta say that there is an impressive wealth of knowledge about these Mopars on this site!
I'm in my mid-40s and have had a few run-ins of my own with Mopars over the years, including a 1977 Dodge Aspen that was my first car (grandpa's hand-me-down). Plus some Mopar muscle from the '90s.
But on to my son's car, which needs quite a bit of refurbishment. He chose it because he simply loves it's classic looks, he specifically did not want a hot-rod version (yet), and (my favorite part) he wanted a father/son project so that we could spend some time together.
I've been a mechanic in a past life, and now I'm in an engineering profession, so I have some skills to tackle this project Dart with, and (even more importantly) pass skills on to my son (who up until now has only changed oil and bled brakes).
And we'll both be leaning heavily on this forum to see us through to the end!
