I have a 69 Dart 2-dr hardtop. Years ago I completely disassembled the doors in preparation for painting (big mistake). In re-assembling the doors, I could not get the windows to line up, to the point I would not trust it not to leak in the rain. By the time I got around to installing the...

Ever since I had my Dart painted, my hood won't stay up. Coincidence? What do I need to do to correct this? It's never been a problem before. It would seem that if the hinges are losing their "hingeyness" this would be a gradual thing. Not so here. One day it worked. Then it doesn't.

I intend to add power brakes to my 69 Dart if I can find a factory setup. If not, I'm going to install Hydroboost system. Anyone have any experience with any of these type units?

Rock Auto lists 9" for all V8s, even 383

I have a stock 69 Dart 273. Every source lists the correct size rear drums as 9", except mine are 10", which I can't locate at any of the supply houses. Were these larger brakes an option (car does have front discs)? Any help locating the larger drums would be appreciated.

I added fender mounted turn signals to my 69 Dart. It seems I remember seeing harnesses made to fit with your standard harness for this purpose, but can't find them now.

I intend to install bolt-in subframe connectors on my 69 Dart but I am unclear where to get them as it seems there are plenty offer for 70 and up years but not so much for 69. Does the 69 have a 108" WB? I was looking at Mopar Performance or Hotchkiss. Many have commented "You don't need them"...

There is a company that specializes in grill restoration that shows up at the Spring Fling in Van Nuys. I'm pretty sure they're located in LA county. Can anyone recall their name?

Are 68 and 69 grills interchangeable? I have found repro 68 grills, but not 69. Is that correct, or did I just miss it?

Jim Lusk, A Barracuda dash frame will fit in a Dart A Barracuda dash frame will fit in a Dart? Any specific years?

I have a 69 Dart- nothing special- and would like to do something really different/crazy with with the dash. I don't care to retain any of the stock stuff-every single piece is on the "chopping block". The problem is I'm not very creative, and need some ideas. I would appreciate seeing anything...

My 69 Dart came with 273 and small rear diff. Everything is small bolt pattern. What are my options to fit 15s on the car?

I have a 70 Duster with a stock flat hood. It appears the hood has seen the weight of a lot of beer drinkers over the years, and has several dips. I am getting ready to have the car painted, and know if I keep this hood it's going to end up with a lot of filler on it. I don't mind that, but...

I have a 70 Duster that needs a new speedo cable. Most cables seem to have a 5/8" connector at the transmission, but I have three small block trannys in my garage and all three measure 7/8". Is that cable somewhere around 65" in length?

How does one restore a grill?
