Right on, looks great! 340? Or 383? Did you buy it recently? There was one for sale for a long time in Port Alberni, but it may have been a 69, I can't remember.

Bought the car April 1st off ebay. Cars from Sacramento,ended up having a spun bearing after we got it home. SO we're just in the midst of a fresh 340 build.

4 speed or auto? I'm actually in Central America right now, battling my way through Honduras and Nicaragua to get to Costa Rica and Panama, but when I get home I'll let you know, and maybe I'll swing by to check out the Dart and whatever else you have.

It's an automatic. Peter Willie is doing a fresh 727 for it as well. What you doing over in that neck of the woods?

Mind if I ask you what he's charging you for it? I have a 727 that I need rebuilt to hold out behind the 340, but not sure who to take it to.
My girlfriend and I are travelling through Central America for 2 months. We just spent a month in Guatemala, and ventured out to Tikal and Belize, and now we're in Honduras for a few days, and then like I said, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. I am an electrician who has been working in northern Alberta, in the oil sands, for a couple years, so it was a time to take some time off. I have August and September off as well, to enjoy at home, and hopefully get to some car shows.
The Dart is getting some minor body work/paint done starting August I hope, and the Barracuda is next. It needs front fenders, and quarters, but otherwise is in good shape. The Valiant is a 4 door daily driver, which Carmen and I will be taking to Salmon Arm for a music festival in August. The 65 Fargo, I may take to some car shows. The 75 Ford 4x4 is a daily driver, but not the greatest on fuel.. 10:1 390.
Oh, I'm parting a 70 Duster, if you know anyone needing parts. Factory TX9 black exterior, with red interior.
I also have a 53 - 55 International pickup for sale. It's got a straight 6 with a Ford 9" rear. I'd like to get around $400 for it, just to see it go to a decent home and to get rid of it.
Will you be going to Thunder In The Valley, or any car shows?

Haven't got a solid # out of him yet. I had a 904 which wouldn't have done the job,so he's also providing the core. Peter is by far the most knowledgable in terms of mopars and transmissions. Whatever it costs it will be right. As for the car shows we'll see,honestly cars probably not going to be ready until the end of the month.Sounds like you've got a few irons in the fire.

Yaa.. sounds more like I've got a problem.. Luckily the Fargo and Dart and Valiant hardly need any body work, and the 75 Hiboy is in great shape. It came from the interior, so no rot.
