Hello from Jackson NJ

[MrWheeler]

Hello all A body Brotheren. It’s been 13 years since I owned my last Dart. Finally was able to score a replacement this year to cure my regret decision. I have to say it’s been a extremely long wait but worth it. Finally for the first time ever I don’t have to replace rusty sheet metal, no major body work and I don’t have to paint the whole car, just have to fix one issue on the hood. It’s been transformed to big block- 727 - 8-3/4 by previous owner. Originally/6.
Looking to do the Gen 3 swap. Heard this is a good place to come for info. Thanks in advance for any help I might receive. I’ll try and keep the annoying pestering questions to a minimum.

Former... I could never go back... Lol
I took my 'sanity' and got the hell out of there and found freedom.
Do you live there long enough to remember "Jacks" Mopar only store on RT. 9 ?
While I can't begin to help on a Gen3 swap, I can play this song as a reminder...

I remember going there many times.

Sorry I missed the former part. I take it you moved South. Smart move. Buddy of mine just went to Tennessee, great property on a lake. I’ll be out someday too. Right now the money is too good to leave.
Yup, I remember Jacks, brought many parts from him over the years for all the previous ones I had. Now it’s a lot of on-line shopping.

 

[MrWheeler]

Thanks for the Welcome guys.

Here she is. She’s quite a bit different than the other two I owned previously. For one she’s solid in all the areas that are usually rusted through and has nice paint on her in the original factory color. Finally a real nice base to work with. I was getting real tired of major rust repair and body work on every one.

Thank you. I fell in love with this color the second I saw it. I think she’s the best looking one I’ve owned so far. Definitely better than #1 and #2 Lol.
