Hello-
My first restore is a 1960 Dodge Dart Seneca 318 poly, 5.2L v8. I bought this ride last year running but in bad shape. I originally planned to make it my punk rock ride and use it as is for around the town fun...until the wheels fell off. Then, I decided to get rid of the jerry can in the engine bay being used as a gas tank and replace the crudy real gas tank and fix the rear brake leak so I don't die going down a hill. Then, I decided to paint the new tank with a sparkle to match the Azure blue of the body and decided to replace all brake hardware. So the journey began but i, at first, did not realize i would do an entire breakdown restore and did not lable parts, bolts, etc...I was well into it when I realized I wasn't sure if I can put it back together. Anyway 9 months later, all engine parts and tranny stripped and painted, many parts replaced with NOS and underbelly coated a few times...here i am
