new kid
couldnt get much done today with mothers day and all the yard work, but got the old mans ride home from winter storage. some more motivation to get this dart done. should be an exciting week 

well, with the good comes the bad.
the good: the guy came today and did all the fuel and tranny lines. The fuel lines are gonna be sweet, we did a T under the car and have the lines come up from under each side so there isnt a big fuel line running across the intakes.(have pics tomorrow)
the bad: the old man was in a big rush last night to jack the car up and put it on the stands so the guy could work easy today. he didnt chalk the front tire while jacking up the rear the jack slipped off the rear landing right on the gas tank and ruinning the whole tank. had to order a new one today, im mad but not too bad, im more happy he didnt get hurt cause he was under the car a little when it happened, i might put a pic up if i can handle looking at it

haha thanks. well im about 98% sure tomorrow is firing day, just gotta find some quick mufflers to throw on, i dont want to start it up just with headers and have it run for 15min like that.
oh and my wheels
. its been six weeks since monday since i ordered them so i gave them a call to see what the deal was. The guy says he cant get any info on them so he'll call me the next day, of course no call so i waited till about 20minutes before they closed and called up. The guy tells me they havnt even started them yet cause they dont have any 18" rims in stock for my wheel. i woulda been ok but no call or email for 6 weeks to tell me this, so now i gotta wait another week just to call back and see if my order has been processed yet and if it is probably another week for shipping. pretty poor service ive been having with centerline wheels...

i did, took some time though. well, so close to it starting! it was turning over and starting to fire but just couldnt kick. i gotta get the socket tomorrow for the bolt to do the timing better instead of trying to quickly turn the key, should run tomorrow if it all comes together!
That's beautiful man....sniff sniff sob... I need a moment...lol.
Congrats man, you guys should be really proud of that car, thanks for posting awesome build pics, it was nice to watch it come together. The attention to detail is awesome. I can't say enough about it. Well done.
