    adding more "bling to the tail panel on my 66 dart.

    I wanted to add more "bling" to my tail panels on my 66 dart convertible and decided to go the racetrack look.

    mine was through the carpet also but I cheated and did a later model pedal (floating pedal) I like that much better since I'm doing A/C conversions and custom floor mats for my cars

    White plastic retaining clip for manual tops

    65 Dart GT Convertible Seat Options

    63-66 rears (valiants or darts) are weird for the convertibles, valiants don't fit in the darts since they don't go down into the well like the darts with he longer wheel base . ME I went with 1996 sebring seats (and seatbelt controller) with minor mods since I wanted power seats and seat...

    65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery

    I am soooooo stealing this picture for my Ebay listing,, they came out nicer than I had thought with that text and spacing (not going to admit how much editing was done since it's not a font anymore just curves and lines though to make it look right to my old eyes) ,

    Convertible top motor and cylinders

    looks like later than 66 , 63-6 had a bottom mount 67 and up had a center pivot , BTW 80's fox body mustangs had the same motors as the 63-66 units but you do ahve to watch the plug ends on the 90s . both mine have 80's-90's salvage yard motors in them.

    Working with 3D printing replacement early A-body parts

    that would be me, I can make them, but they have webbing in 2 corners , I'm not real happy with the way they came out and am going a different way with those (they will be cast as a plastic part) same with my 66 tail light bezels I'm working on a left outer bezel now and it looks doable for the...

    Working with 3D printing replacement early A-body parts

    they(deposition printed 3d priner , NOT a resin printer) don't hold up well unless UV coated or fully painted, I've done a few parts for my car and 3 years using and in the sun kills parts (yes UV coated also, but I could have coated them better). Now resin printed and they look and last better...
