Had been looking for a 69 Dart for quite awhile and finally found one in SF California in 2010; wasn't really looking for a WSS but did want something relatively rust free if possible, actually didn't even know what a Western Sport Special was but I did want a hard top Dart. So drove to SF from the Chicago area which in itself was some trip if you have ever driven through the Sierra Nevada's during construction with only 1 lane open towing an 18 ft trailer. It was pretty much rust free with the exception of the normal issue spots like trunk pan and lower rear quarters. I figured trunk pan is available from AMD and patch panels would work in the quarters. Since it was a roller (no engine or trans) my work was cut out for me.
Always been a Mopar guy but not an expert body guy or mechanic per se but at least I can take stuff apart and put it back together again as long as I got a picture to follow. Besides one buddy can weld good and my son in law is an estimator and manager of a body shop so he prolly has someone that does body work and paints.
Apparently someone had made some attempt at sand blasting it as sand was everywhere even inside the frame rails and cowl.
