This is one of my favorite builds to follow. It's turning out so beautiful. Curious, what's the yellow car in the background? It looks kinda like an MG but I'm thinkin Fiat or????

Thanks goldfish for the compliment

That car is an early 70s Alfa Romeo GTV 105 Series, just finished baremetal restoration and now waiting for her "turn" after my Dodge to get the interior done.

You're doing a great job on your Dart. Talk about a change from what is was when you started. Keep up the good work.

I have been watching this very nizzzzze build and it's so cool to see it on her feet and all covered with new chrome and the black carpet worked out looking perfect in there :love4:.
Where did you ever find the cool long snorkel breather ? or did it come factory on the Dart ? Very nice peace for sure, the supply air behind the battery is cooler because the fresh air supply in front of the battery comes in right in front of it, But I am sure you now this, Looks great straight ahead and the top of the radiator is the coolest area :happy7:
Looks outstanding

The air cleaner is actually from a 1970s's DATSUN (Nissan!!) B110 Haha. I was searching for suitable air cleaner (since I dont have a standard 1920 Carb, the original air cleaner wont fit) around the junk yards/2nd hand part dealers around my area and I found one that fits my carb for US$15. Turns out it was from a Datsun B110 as I said above. Paint was peeled off and flaky but no dents. So I sent for sandblasting and then painted it gloss black. Looked not too bad eh?
