Sitting here, bored, and it's -4 degrees and a blizzard hit the area, so I'm not going anywhere. Just thinking of spring and what I have planned for the Dart I bought last fall.
I've bought a hemi scoop, front spoiler, buckets and console. Picked up a rear tail stripe and hood 408 stroker decal from a guy on FABO. Tail stripe is different from stock type and should look great, something like the picture. Hood decal is the diagonal one that sits on the front corner.
Picked up buckets for it for, drum roll please, $80 ..YEP 80 bucks for TWO beautiful bucket seats. I know it's very hard to believe but the guy threw them on CL to get them out of the way and I was the first to respond after they were on for 15 minutes, and snagged them. Right place right time. Also, what a jerk I am, when I went to pick them up his ad was for $100, I said "would you take $80". Man, sometimes I scare myself. He was building a race car and didn't need them. Will try to dye them black, if that doesn't work I'll get new covers. But they were a STEAL.
Also picked up a console from an e-body that I like better than the a-body console. I think I can make it fit the 4-speed shifter. Console door is missing so thinking of putting cup holders or a speaker in there.
Bought new 15x8 steelies for it and will be ordering new rubber, 255's for the rear, 205's for the front. Selling the slots so that's a push. Need to finish the exhaust from mufflers back. I have 3" over the rear end and tail pipes the previous owner gave me, but have the feeling they may not fit or he would have probably completed the exhaust. We'll see. Bought a cap for the dash pad, and with buckets, and console the interior is complete. Put gauges and tach in last year and cleaned up dash it and looks good.
You can tell I'm bored and rambling but I have a lot planned. Engine, trans. and rear on my little *** kicker were done when I bought it, cars a rocket.
So I'm looking forward to the vernal equinox
.. What are you planning?
