I haven't started the Dart but once since putting it into storage. It was thirty degrees today after a warm week and the snow has melted quite a bit so I ran up to the storage facility and started her up. It turned over too slow to start so I had to jump start it, but start it did. I had to run it at high idle for five minutes before it would run on it's own. No choke on the carb. Sounds good. The roads were dry and I wanted to drive it, but there is salt everywhere, so I settled for listening to it run and sitting inside. 4 to 6 inches tomorrow, so it looks like it will be a while before spring gets it sprung.

Springs on its way dude ! I pulled mine out of storage last week -- smiling all the way home ! Awesome ride !
 
The car looks great. My favourite colour too. I haven't started mine since Nov. We have had a good old fashion style winter this year and I have enjoyed it, but I'm ready for spring now!
 

I took off the stock hood, and if you look closely at the video, you can see the corner of it behind the car. It's there in storage. I bought a really nice boneyard hood, blocked it and cut the hole and painted it. The scoop came with the car, so I fixed the mounting studs and painted it and mounted it. It turned out really well. I might try to fab up a ram air for the carb. I know the air flows well because all summer lomg I have to clean bugs out from the inside rear of the scoop. I bought some 408 stroker emblems off eBay and stuck them on the side of the scoop.
