[THEWHITEZOMBIE]

Hey guys, Long time since ive actually sat down an got onto the boards. Silly thing called life caught up to me. For all you senior members that have been around with me since day one saw me build the Dart up from a little 318 to a now 440 car. The car has been in storage since 08' an i have only seen the car twice since then. Thats life for ya, anyways im going to go visit it this weekend an (6 hours away form me) an i can sure feel the bug bitting me again. I hope to bring it back home once everything settles down with finding a new house with the wife an boy. Anyways what are some of your daily projects like these days?

Been gathering parts and doing the manual disc swap so far. Planning our wedding sidetracked everything for a bit but am gonna get back at it mid-June. Still need carbs for the tunnel ram 440,S6-440 swap mounts, headers, and some floorpan patching. And of course all the little crap that ties it together. We plan do do the floorpans, frame connectors, spring relocate and trunk mods all in one barrage of sparks and sheetmetal. Some cringe but for money reasons, we are using a Ford 8.8 on Mopar Superstock leafs. At this point the hardest part has been finding headers that we can afford.

And more. Idea is, use up the new, bought parts and go as far as I can on interior, etc. Right now, learning how to straighten, polish and paint aluminum parts. . .so I can do the grilles. Eek!

The 'Vert; well, just imagine that up on jack stands now, with the front end suspension tore out from under it. Had, too, was going to fall out on the road. Parts coming as we speak; cleaning the messy stuff up with daughter right now. . .

I've been working on swapping a 351c, 4 speed toploader and 9 inch from a 73 torino to a nicer 74 automatic torino. Swapping everything over for my dad. Then I'm going to take the old 302 from the 74 torino and put it into my toyota I would have liked to have gone mopar power but the 302 is smaller and I already had it to boot. Then after that is done Ill finish off the summer by doing some body work on a 383 gts. Probably do a bit of work on my dart some point in between.

Going to be a busy summer

....finding a new house with the wife an boy. Anyways what are some of your daily projects like these days?

Glad to see ya made it back, Zombie! Speaking of houses.....I snatched up a fixer-upper about 13 months ago. The plan was to just give it a quick paint job/fresh carpet, then rent it. Well, you know how car projects start spinning outta control into a full-blown resto? Hopefully, I'll see a light at the end of the tunnel soon.
