Looks good John!I would say you better get some primer on it,but that metal aint goin' nowhere!
Looks like a good project.Do you have the grille?Those are pricey.
If you tell me it is gonna be powered by a 350 Chev,DONT
I dont want to here that!
Looks like a investment.

Thats good John!
I am not a rod builder(money)but am critical of them.I hate Rods that are on a Ford base with Chevy power.
It is so godd@mn old!!!
It is plain to see you are goin' after drivebility.Thats good.
Just remember that no matter how much dough goes in the 40,it will always have good resale,if you ever decide too?
The 32 and 40 are pinnicle years.
Give updates as time goes on OK?

blue, I used to have a 67 dart Gt 273 auto it was burgundy with burgundy int. someone gave it to me he was moving and it had a bad trans so he couldn't take it, well..... I junked it I know what I would do to have half the cars I junked in my time I could sell them and retire!!!! another one was a pink and white 55 ford crown vic with a 292 and overdrive. or how about a 57 caddie limo that had papers stating that it was for use in the us senate (forget who it was for) but they gave the senators name. Hind sight is a wonderful thing I keep kicking myself.

Yeah,me too!
I also had a 67 Dart GT.It was red on red with white top.Original /6 but i put a 360 in it.Had lotsa MoPars but have always owned Ford trucks.It just seemed to work out that way.
I like alot of Ford cars but was a MoPar man first.But me and Dodge trucks didn't get along,they didn't like me and Chevy was never an option because i helped work on plenty and thought there were highly overrated.All hype.

Oh,I understand John.They have their problems.
The worst feature of MoPars was the bulk head that met the harness at the firewall.It wasn't nothin to be goin down the road and just like that the car is dead!!
It was the ignition wire at the bulk head.All that exposed plugs are a joke.Yeah,My first MoPar was a 70 Dart Swinger,it needed control arm bushings and they were cheap enough so i bought them and two days later i was done!,I had to borrow a torch and cut the nuts,heads,and beat it apart,then had to chisel out the old bushings that were rock solid.Yeah,fun,but learned alot.
Funnest part about MoPars is to get a Cheby guy to help.They dont know which end is up on a MoPar and just scratch there chin and ask.....what the hell holds these thing up in the front!!
Torsion bars baby,then they think they are stupid then i tell them "oh yeah? Then why do IFS Chevy 4x4's use them?"They shut up when you say that!
OK,better stop talkin about MoPars or Ken will ban me from the site.
