I looked at the "birth" article but each photo had to be opened one at a time and it was super time consuming. I had planned on going back to it but been super busy and haven't yet. I have seen a fair amount of cars done as a 70-up but haven't run across any articles done showing where they...

I believe the trunk floors are the same 67 to at least 72 so I think all A bodies use the same frame rails so that shouldn't matter. I am only going to be changing the rearward most part of the quarters and yes I have given consideration in needing to incorporate the side markers as part of the...

Exactly what i was thinking as close to the rear of the quarter as possible with as minimal amount of cutting and welding. Since I will be cutting the rear panel off the car to put the 70 rear panel on along with all the associated pieces I will try to only work on the parts where the change...

I'll bet the Scamp looked awesome, too bad Chrysler didn't continue on with A body converts after 69.

69 was the last year for A body convertibles, which is a shame because the 70 up A body also lends itself nicely as a convertible.

I have from the wheel arches back on the 70 quarter panels only and so I will be splicing as far back on the car as possible. I am not a professional so I may even hire a professional to do the splice, but then again I may be the one doing the deed. I did separate all the spots on the 70 when I...

I have the quarters, the rear panel, the bumper bracket supports (the trunk pan is the same from 67-72) ,the rear panel and the trunk lid, bumper and brackets, so all I need as far as information is I would like an idea as to where would be a good spot to add the 70 1/4 panel to the 69 1/4...

I have googled 70 Dart conv but haven't seen any articles about doing the actual process. I actually have a yellow 70 Dart convertible with white interior as my screen saver right now.

Yeah I saw his but really didn't see any pictures of how he did the quarters. You had to open each picture one at a time which was pretty time consuming.

I have a 69 convertible that I want to make into a 1970. Changing the front group is easy but doing the rear quarters will be a bit of a challenge. If anyone has done this and can post any pictures taken during the process so I can get any ideas on how to tackle the problem of where to splice...

Thanks for the info. The mounting position for the shoulder belt anchor was particularly useful.

Thanks for the info. I will look into their belts, we also have a Summit Racing in my area and I may go check with them. Have you seen the video of the crash I mentioned earlier in the post? Amazing the inertia involved in a collision. Even in retrospect the guy doing the feature said he wished...

Thanks for the info. You would have thought that the seller would have let you know about any additional hardware needed and given instructions on what would be needed to do the installation. I see kits that have the retractors so I will continue on trying to find something that works.

Did you ever get your seatbelts to work satisfactorily? Did you end up having to do modifications to be able to use them? If so what were they? I have a 71 Dart ( bucket seats ) that I want to put a 3 point harness in and I am now in the process of deciding which kit and whom to buy from. The...
