Like Father, Like Son: The Story of my 1970 Dodge Dart

-
Messing with it on the sloped driveway was a pain... It slopes down towards the street, and from left to right in the picture, as I live on a big hill. I'm already terrified of the Dart taking a premature trip to the bottom!
 
A lot has happened since I was last on here. Grief brought me to this community and I met so many people that helped navigate my loss and the rekindling of my passion for Mopars. I’m not very active but I’ll be posting on FBBO in the future. I picked this up a few years back and just moved from Virginia to the Buffalo area. Went back and hauled this up a week or so ago. Fresh paint and a custom hood scoop!

Mpacker, I’m just going through your recently rejuvenated post. From your photos I was trying to figure out where you were in Northern Virginia, as I’m here too. I was going to commiserate about your tiny Virginia garage since mine is about the same size. But now I see that you are in the Buffalo area where land and shop-space are plentiful. Funny, but I am on the opposite path from you. I grew up in upstate NY, and even went to school in Buffalo, but have been stuck in Northern VA with a tiny garage for the past 36 years. It’s okay here … a lot warmer than Buffalo :), but workspace is limited. Fortunately, I have a very generous friend that lets me work in his shop which is about a half hour away. There’s a group of guys at the shop who are older than me and have a ton of knowledge for me to tap into. Between them and FABO, I have some great resources. Here’s a picture of us with my 68 GTS after the rear window and trim installation.
