I have one from a 72 if you are interested. Located in Hamilton Ontario.

Shifted my plan and decided to keep the SBP wheels Kelsey Hayes brakes. Front end rebuild and disc brakes should improve the ride a bit. Hope to have it back on the road next week.

The body and paint was done by Nick’s Customs. It’s was a one person business so it was great to deal directly with the person doing the work. Nick was great, the reason I went to him was his quality and he super excited to paint the Dart.

Found someone local who was selling 73-76 spindles. They are a bit rusty being from an Ontario car but with a bit of work they will clean up well.

It’s been a while since posting an update. Here’s some shots of the Dart with finished paint. Still lots to do, brakes and steering probably should have been done first but glad it could get it for paint when I did. Finding a good and affordable bodyman is no easy task and I am pretty happy with...

Hi, I am reassembling a 70 Dart and the quarter glass is missing the hardware. I would greatly appreciate some help for the group on how to get the car back together. Getting the doors working: The inner door linkages where in the bottom of the door. The door lock pull levers where in a box...

Thanks, I think I have looked at this picture at least 50 times today. Can’t wait to get the project home for the finishing touches. Paint looks so good I won’t be able to stick the old chrome bumpers back on it.

Getting closer. Some final touches on the hood and the bodywork will be ready for final paint. I can’t believe how the colour looks. We’re pumped to see the rest of the car blue.

I need an original gas cap and the setup for the transmission kick down. I have the mont on the back of the intake manifold but need the rest. Anyone have these part available?

The engine is bolted in place and turns over. Just have to get the fuel pump in, wire up the coil, tidy up the plug wires, fill it with coolant, etc, etc........ Another great day with my dad and son working on the family project. We are really lucky Nick, our bodyman, allows us to work at his...

A splash of colour. The blue is darker than I thought it would be but I really like it.

Second go at an engine paint. This one is closer to the colour I was looking for. Plastikote engine 232 Chrysler blue.

Cleaned up the engine this morning. Will have to take the valve covers and do some more work to strip them down. Tried Duplicolor paint and it was three different colours coming out of the same can. Shook it like crazy and it would change from a very dark blue to a really light blue. Doesn’t...

Finishing up the engine parts for installation. Will be cleaning and painting the block tomorrow.

Cleaned up one of the exhaust manifolds today. Hopefully will be able to get to the second one tomorrow. Has anyone used high temp paint on these before? There is a colour that looks like cast iron.
