I wanted to have this car done before I hit 30 and its not going to happen. Just had a kid, working two jobs and building/restoring two vehicles. Three years for me so far... My plan was to be done before I hit 50. I have another 2 years to go and I should actually be done some time this year! 1970 Dart Resto-Race Project 1960 Dodge Dart Seneca Dual Quad 390 Poly

I'm getting used to not seeing it in my garage anymore. Once I get it back going to start building the turbo setup/ body paint. Need to find a hemi block and heads for mockup 70 Challenger 1960 Town Wagon P Pump 24v cummins project 06 Mega 3500 Drw 2wd 12 Durango R/T 18 Power Wagon 67 A100

512 VALIANT member Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 136 CHANDLER, AZ	Bought mine in 07 as a roller from another member on here. Was not in a hurry & wanted to make sure everything went correct and wanted to have the $ to do it correct. My engine was finished and dynoed 06/09 and I finally just fired it up the car in my garage this week end. I still have a few things to do to get it to the track though. 1 more good weekend should have it there - just in time for the AZ heat (it was 110 out on Sunday when I finally had everything ready to fire it).
