The paint fumes have cleared so I'm
sitting outside, patiently waiting while other cars jumped the repair line ahead of her, my now very rusty 69 Dart got her own spot inside the shop.
The landlord did some driveway/parking lot paving in the last couple weeks, giving me an excuse to move some shit around and get a little better organized. That and the fact that the 56 Lincoln sitting inside for a year (due to the owner's lack of funds & motivation) is heading elsewhere for long term storage, means there was room for old Betsy.
This morning we moved the 68 Vette frame outside, B body victim's 65 Chevy truck, and the Lincoln both went out too.
A lot of sweeping and sorting, grunting and groaning, whining and bitching and the Dart resides inside where I can (hopefully) get to work on her.
I've got big plans for it - 340, 700R4, big front discs, big rear drums, 391 8.75 SG, A/C, shaved handles and emblems, lots of subtle customizing tricks, six pack style hood, original white bucket interior, custom dash, two tone Orange & Black pearl coats, ... I'd like to lower it, depending on whether or not the tti headers scrape.
A lot of the parts are waiting, some I haven't gotten, and some still to be decided upon. And LOTS of body work.
It should look like my avatar. Should I say.
Now it's time to relax, my frickin' knees and back are a hurting.
:bravo:
