Have to say, never liked these darts but that certainly helps the looks!

Very nice find. Congratulations.

You've probably already watched his channel, but Uncle Tony's Garage on YouTube does quite a lot with the slant. I really enjoy those builds.

Uncle tony has alotta good info!

Hope everyone is enjoying their thanksgiving today, have made quite a bit of progress on the dart since I last posted about it.

At this point I have the fuel system complete, brake system complete and bled, It drove out of the garage and was able to make it around the block with it.

I have found a total of 3 Broadcast sheets in the car, one taped around the column, one under the front seat, and one under the rear seat, all match each other and to the car.

Got some big bolt pattern rallye wheels for it, blasted the faces and did a shade tree paint job. Some grey primer.

At menards got some stuff called D-germ, works pretty good on interior stuff to get the grime and stuff off.

Designed and made up a gauge panel for it, will house a tach, oil pressure, wideband, and vacuum gauge, along with provisions for 3 toggles and pilot lights. Done on the Bridgeport at work

This is how bad it was with the wheel in the center, so got it close by eye

Will need a new Idler arm, it has a solid 1/2 inch of up and down movement, no biggie though.

I'm liking the look of the rallye wheels, need to get some centers and trim rings for them.

One of the many dirt piles to come out from under the car.

Just did and alignment for a friend with a 70 Swinger, NOT a mopar fan but it is still kinda cool. Anything this old still on the road and looking this decent, I like. His is a 360, torqueflight car in flat black. He's got the silver ralleys like yours. Nice little ride @legopnuematic

Pulling the rear carpet up found a fourth broadcast sheet.

Got new bulbs for the dome light and the map light, got them installed and played with the map light switch and got it working again.

Started on the floor patching, just a homemade patch from 18 gauge.

The biggest thing this car is/was being attacked by is rust jacking, for those fortunate enough to not face rust on a daily basis, its when the rust is trapped between two spaces and literally jacks, expanding and pushing away from itself. Which makes for two really thin panels with a solid chunk of rust nugget in between.

We had a near identical one for a while, called it the Fart Slinger.
