1970 Pro Touring DAR/T
 

I was nudged into creating a build thread.

So the story goes...

Once upon a time I had a 71 Dart that I turbocharged and was going to do body work on it over the winter. After removing a few panels and fenders, the car was diagnosed with cancer and had 6 months to live.
It was sent down the road and I picked up a cancer free 70 Dart from Arizona to start a new build on.

As you will see this build took and entirely different direction then the last build.

And then the tear down started so it could go on the rotisserie.

Been looking all over for a 46RH. Found a few, all but one were to expensive and trashed. Went and checked out the one today at the bone yard but it turned out to be the non lockup version. I did however score a 42RH.
Its not as stout but it should do the job for a few years.

bye bye 904TF, hellow 4 speed OD!
