alright well i bought my dart for 3000 in September of 2011 drove it home thought i had gotten a steal butt then bought some original dart seats cause it had chevy blazer buckets in it. so when i went to replace the seats i discovered i had been sitting on rust,bondo,and bathtub caulking so took the plasma cutter and removed all the rust in the floor boards ended up with couple good size holes. Then being 26 yrs old and bored me and two buddies thought it would be fun to see how bad the original /6 looked being 47 yrs old so we tore it apart and it honestly didnt look bad for the age butt since it was already needing floors why not do motor to lol well now its turning into motor trans axle and complete interior restoration and possibly mini tubbing the rear like i seen tincup do on his 64 hemi dart and get me some different rims ive got some pics i will be uploading to catch everyone up to where i am at on it as of right now

Glad to see your fixing the car up properly!Your car sure looks like my 66 Dart,but mine doesn,t have the silver along the middle.Mine,s been mini-tubbed,caged,Dana and a sb 410/904 sure has been a long haul from when I got it from Alabama.Good luck with your project:D

haha i dont care. just curious to know if you were doing it on purpose or not. Care looks amazing. keep on it. blue wheels. to match the paint. would look amazing
