Making myself do it.

[LocuMob]

I'm a lazy ass by nature, there I said it. Maybe that's why I've had my Dart for 18 years and it hasn't been a car, other than the technical sense, for most of those years. If it's moved more than 15 miles under it's own power in that time, I'll be surprised. My Polara ate up most of the parts that were destined for the Dart, so that doesn't help matters any. My truck, ha! I've been aquiring parts for it, just found something else it needs, ugh, when does it end?!! I'm okay with that, because it should be simple, right? Even the dog is laughing at me.

I have 11 days to get to get a 1956 Mercury Medalist running, (with a carb I know nothing about, and fix the brakes. I've got th wheel cylinders, and a new master cylinder for it because I would just rather replace them and not worry about them and I can get drums and shoes quickly if needed.

Hopefully this gets me motivated to get my Dart back together even though it needs an engine built for it. So much for dropping the car over the k frame/engine trans combo.

11 days. Time to start.

67 Dart 270, making it a GT Hemi what if. Have full badging, full interior, gonna big block it til the money tree gives me enough for a Hemi. Put SS springs in it need to put the rear shocks in. Have a 68 K frame, manual box, manual drums, buckets, console. Was an A/C car but have a non A/C firewall to cut a clean section from. Had the car way too long but need to see it finished, and I need to get moving. Gotta work on the Merc, then plow ahead and get my fleet on the road. Driving, and I'll be happy. Upgrades can come later but I want to drive them. The dart really doesn't need much, not much more than a pulse.
