new guy here

[Dodgenut64]

thanks. i really really want to go all the way with this car. ive ouned a few older cars in my life, but have never had one as a project. my other cars where daily drivers. being younger back then with very little money it was hard to make dreams come true. now i have a garage and things are starting to get a little easier in life. funds are becoming more available every year. once my daily driver (neon) is payed off, more money will become available.
im gonna get that alterktion unit this year, which will update the frontend. then next year i might go for the tranny. one big item a year is all i can do right now.
some might say why invest so much money in a dart, and an early dart at that? i say why not? ill never oun a 70 challenger or 68 charger or a new srt8 car, but imagine the surprise on peoples faces when they see a 6.1 under the hood of a 64 dart convertible. my little 64, set up the way i want it, should not only strike up conversations at shows, but it should also be really fun to drive.
im reminded of that song "i got my mind set on you" by george (ex beatle, dead now). the lyrics go something like "Its gonna take money..a hole lotta spendin money... tah do it, tah do it, tah do it, tah do it, tah do it, tah doooo it right.
"now theyll think im crazy"
