We picked the car up at the upholstry shop late last night.  And since our we had to be at the airport by 9am this morning to fly home, I got up at 5am and snuck out to the shop for a couple of hours before eveyone else got up.  I cleaned the dash pad and put the door sill plates back on.  I still need to clean up a bunch of the interior but it is getting there.  Slowly I might add.

THANKS    I really appreciate it!! 

I also got to drive it for the first time!!!    I backed it out of the shop and pulled it in front of the door to take a picture outside.  So I have now driven it for 15 foot!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope... 318 2bbl with A/C!     The car is nowhere near a showcar or anything.  It was built in fun as a father/son project as a "daily driver" rebuild.

Love your Dart!! I think it turned out great!   Love the Barracuda too!! They all need to be driven. The Dart sure brings back memories. When I was a teenager and first driving, it was my parents Dodge Dart. Got to be real well known with the local (and unfortunately for me) the State Police too!! I liked the smell of burning rubber too much!!

Thanks to all of you for the compliments.  I really appreciate it!!    When I was at the shop this morning looking over the Cuda I was thinking...."man I should do the Cuda next".  But then I think what it would cost to do the car "right".   I am starting to think I am crazy to have more than one project car looming.   But then again to spend all the money to build a car first class....then can you enjoy it without stressing over every little nick in the paint??   I think I have Mopar O.C.D. and it is out of control for me.   Danged if I do, danged if I don't..
