reviving my dads old 65 dart drag car!

-
Neat car / project ..don't stop now !

And, that Dart pictured above with the wheelie bars is sweet ..
 
its been a while since i have made an update. just finished painting the car last night. now its time for color sanding buffing and assembly

















 
I really like this build! I hope to see you in Vegas....will be coming from Eureka, just up the coast from you.

color sanding and buffing all done, engine attached to trans and k member ready to stuff it in











 
Love this! How is the project coming?

Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean when you say 'color sanding'?

I've got a '66 Dart GT almost ready for paint job and I'm thinking maybe I can actually do it myself. Haven't sprayed anything in years but I guess I can start inside the trunk. =D

i was at the show but the car wasnt done, it should be done this week, just have to install the trans lines mount the shifter and install the seats
 
Sweet get that SOB done so we can run em! I'm dialed in just gotta get some ET streets because I go nowhere on the Phucking pizza cutters that I have now. Pretty much useless 1st and second gear up to 65mph. Pm me if you need any help but it looks like you got it covered. Gotta get back on my vert soon just been to damn busy with everything else.
 
Came out pretty good. The tinter went a little over zealous on the sides but it looks sinister

Hey Cody! Just saw this thread for the first time and love the build.
Sorry you couldn't make it MATS this year, but are you going to try for 2016?
We (Inland Mopars Car Club from SoCal) work the show each year and I'd love to see your dad's beautiful Dart at the 2016 event!
