Not sure all that have followed the build thread on the wife's Dart but here the second weekend of driving it and we are getting braver with how far we go from home as we fix little things that pop up. Still need to install the white top then take it to the upholstery shop to have them make a white boot cover but it is running and driving very nicely so far.

I think it would easily keep up with the Duster in the short term and likely beat the Coronet with their 318s (the Duster has Toth heads and a bit more cam so it does not run out of breath at 4000 RPM like the Coronet). I am very impressed with it. The modeling seems to be accurate.
