hosestop@msn.com Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I could not take that shit for rear fenders so I bought some quarters and re-installing stock skirts ,so I guess I took a poll but the car is a keeper so I am doing it to my liking - back semi stock and rear end and stupid ladder bars are coming out for a Nova 10 bolt with same gears so I have matching bolt patern for my ARE tourque thruster wheels ,If want to see my fender install keep tuned in !

]2eDeYe Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Mine is a 4 door goon. It's an old Air Force car that's been combined with another white goon. I 'inherited' it from my dad when he left my mom. It's been in the family since I was little and is what I first started wrenching on.Here's the only decent pics I have right now. I think once the red truck is gone I'll have a bit of time to go through it. It ran and drove when it was parked there. Needs a bit of maintenance and the fuel system cleaned out.Lot's of good memories tied up in that thing :) 1 Quote Link to comment
Spoona_Jay21 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Lot's of good memories tied up in that thing :) thats the exact reason i won't give up the Dart my mom gave me =P even though it is a long way from runnin. Quote Link to comment
