Might as well show the start of my 69 Dart...

I'll try to attach my pix.

Car was undercoated new and almost everything under is in great shape. The only problem I've found was the rear spring hangers have some rust and have the bolts moved out causing the springs to be twisted. Will replace those. I planned for this to be a street driver and just fun car. It was a 273 car new and it is long gone so please don't cuss me for not keeping it stock. I have a 72 340 to put in it after the paint. Wish I had some W-2's but will make due with the J heads with stainless 2.02's and 1.60's. Went with the Ross pistons, 514 grams each and Racer Brown cam. Cam is SSH-25. 286 INT & EXT. 108 Center. Stall on the 727 will be 3000 with 3.55's or 3.90's ( still looking for gears ). Plan on Hookers. Breaking from norm on carb. I have a Demon Sizzler Thermo Quad to be hid by the air filter. Everything else is new or rebuilt in the machine shop.

That is why I started posting now in case I run into problems. I bought it 2 1/2 years ago on E-Bay in Missouri. Got screwed on the title and took 2 years to get it so I just got started. If you ever deal with anyone on E-Bay by the name of Jeff Thomas, RUN! But I did everything by the book and the police are still looking for him.
Car was org. light green and someone repainted it the dark green seen. Then someone else put the entire blue interior in it. I decided to save money and because I like the B-5 color, I'd just paint it B-5. This isn't suppose to be a CORRECT CAR and would never pose it as such. This is to play with and pass on to my daughter when I'm gone. I suspect my grandson will end up with it. When I'm finished I will make up a small book to put in the glove box to tell anyone what parts are where so it can be repaired properly if needed.
The detective in Missouri told me the car had been sold 5 to 7 times and never registered thus causing more problems.

Looks like a super solid project! Good luck with it. Nice blue interior too.

Trying to revive my interest. Less than 6800 invested so far. But I'm sure it's going up. Got the engine and trans ready.

rest assured it will indeed go up. It is a sickness my wife says. I got my 70 swinger on 2/14/07 (her valentines present) updated carb/fuel system, ignition, gears, trans and converter and 150 shot of juice. Thought I would re due it in fall of 07. Completely stripped it down in sept of 07 and almost ready to fire now and finish body by feb. 09. It changed from healthy street car to all out 426 stroker, 6pt cage and everything in between.
Good luck and keep us posted.
