Not a C body but a 1972 Dodge nonetheless. Short video of my latest “project.” I’ve been feeling pretty good lately despite my age and habits. So I’ve brought in another abandoned car to clean around on and tinker with.
This thing was waaaayy up in a holler. About had a heat stroke getting it out, Got bit and stung by bugs and critters that scientists had believed to went extinct 400,000 years ago.

Marty you are a Mopar Maniac!!!
Thanks for being YOU and keep up with the cool videos.
 
I love the smoke coming out of the rust hole in the quarter panel.
Freakin hardcore !!
 
A little floor repair. The patch was ordered from eBay for about $70 and fit perfectly. Some flashing tape from Lowe’s and a slop and mop application of gloss black after I knocked the can over in the floor and, she’s looking better!

I scored a set of hubcaps that are probably more at home on a Charger. What do you think? Personally, I love the ugly bastards!
Also, a new set of 195/75r14 whitewalls are on their way!

Turns out she had a white top from the factory! Not a “Triple” Pickle after all.
Still, I’m happy with it. I decided to sand the roof down, slap some filler in the seams and rattle can it white. That will at least preserve it and not do any harm.

A few extra pics. This Dart sure fits in my small garage better than the Polara did!

Inching towards beater/driver status!
New tires installed. I don’t know about other areas, but in my neck of the woods, you can expect to pay close to $100 to have four tires mounted and balanced when you carry in tires you bought from the internet. They give you the stink eye too. So, figure that in on buying tires online.
Mexican blanket for a front seat cover.
And, an Easter egg pic. I’m naming this car “Patty”. What could I be thinking about??
