Hey all I am glad to finally join the forum I've utilized this site reading about obscure a body related topics and issues for years. Happy to contribute any knowledge I have I will first state most of my success has been trial and error and intense research through old service manuals and videos online. I am still learning after many years being hobby mechanic/vintage vehicle collector maintainer. I have quite a few antique vehicles between my father and I. We are primarily A body dodge and Ford F series trucks(yikes hope don't ruffle too many feathers mentioning the F word...) I am also in a antique tractor and stationary engine club and am of the red tractor variety myself. I have a number of vintage Japanese motorcycles aswell and enjoy tinkering painting restoring/ spending all my hard earned money on these rusty treasures whatever the make model it is !!!
I have as follows
1973 dodge dart 225 /6 auto
1975 dodge dart sport 318 v8 727 auto
1987 dodge ramcharger 360 v8 727 auto
1976 plymouth volare 225 /6 auto
1977 dodge aspen 225 /6 auto
I have since sold the 1974 dodge dart swinger (dark green on cragers) and 1975 dodge dart swinger (dark orange white top)

Welcome. We appreciate the hard work and talent it takes to keep the vintage rides on the road whatever flavor! Expect a little ribbing tho!
 
Welcome to FABO! Glad you took the time to join. With all those cars, you surly have much to offer. Several members here are tractor enthusiasts.
 

Welcome to the forum, your not the only one here that has an old Ford or two.
Is this one of the Light Darts with the aluminum trunk lid and hood? I have always thought they would make a great drag car…

This is just a regular old dart sport she is in need of some sheet metal work and a new heart transplant have several SBM to choose from looking forward to putting it back on the road. One day I'd like to give it the tube chassis front end and back half treatment and put a bunch of sheet metal on it. However I think it's more along the lines of get it running and operation rather than perfect In the near future.....
