68 Dart GT Conv. 340/727
Hi All,
I joined a couple of years ago when I first started on my Dart but health problems have delayed my project. You gotta be pretty sick not to work on a car! I'm 18 months cancer free and feeling much better.
A friend "gave" me the car in December 08. He had a derelict son in law that had started to part it out so he took it from him and put it in storage. I paid the past due storage fees and we towed it up from the valley.
I found a 340/727 (orig. 318/904 car) combo in a drag car (only 1000 miles 1/4 mile at a time!). I'm probably going to get a milder cam as I'm hoping for a daily driver.
It has 9 inch drums and 7 1/4 rear end so that is my next project along with some interior work. It needs paint and a new top, maybe this winter. I'll do a brighter yellow with black top and stripe.
The site is terrific, lots of great information.
Its a good life,
Craig
