Smile greetings

Hello, I just recently purchased from my brother our grandfather's '67 dart and plan to get it running and keep it factory. two door, slant 225, no P/S no power brakes, no A/C, it only has 44,500 miles on it, I am the fifth family member to have owned it. First my mother's Dad bought new, Second owner is my father's Mom, Then it was sold to my Mom and Dad. When they decided that they did not need a third car, they sold it to my brother. He bought it running about twenty years ago and then just parked it in his garage. So I plan to get it running, keep it original, restore it to factory like condition. And when the time comes, I will pass it down to my daughter. "THE FAMILY CAR"

Sounds cool, let's see some pictures.
You might want to give the hydraulics in the brakes a once over, brake fluid does strange things in twenty years.

I plan to flush all fluids, I already replaced all coolant hoses. When I replaced the bypass hose, I noticed that the impeller on the water pump had started to rub the block. I replaced that and the thermostat. As soon as I can get a chance, I will download the picture(s) of it. I work two jobs so the only time I can work on it will usually be the weekends. That is my wife and daughter don't have anything planned.
