A danged old Dodge from the 70s with no floor pans? I can’t believe it!
Looking at the pictures made me think back to the cars back then. One of my aunts had a green on green Dart swinger with a slant 6.

Then that reminded me of all the cars that guys were trying to hot rod. Do you remember Novas with the back end jack up? Or was that just a thing around here? I had a friend that shoe horned a 350 into a Vaga station wagon. I remember trying to help him figure out how to stuff headers in there! Haven’t thought of that in years!
Seriously though your friend still has a lot of work ahead of him, but he is going to end up with nice car that’s really desirable these days.
So how did it feel to be back in the saddle Mr. Dave? Is there a new hot rod project in your future?
