A buddy of mine wants to build a muscle car and found himself a 69 Dodge Dart, body is straight but has rust issues. He seems predisposed towards Mopar but has pretty much NO knowledge of cars. I was raised a Ford guy, but fate has assigned me the task of helping my buddy.
The car has a punky little 170 6 right now, so it'll require yanking the drivetrain and upgrading the suspension to handle a 360. I know these cars were offered with V8's so I'm assuming this task will be attainable. So...
1) any suggestions on where to get suspension/brake upgrades?
2) any good sources for sheet metal? I know we'll need fenders, inner fenders/wheelwells, rear quarters? We're not building a show car here, but a runner.
Any help would be appreciated....
thanks, tezz
