    68 Dart 4 door. Passenger side doors inoperable.

    It looks good from a distance. However I'm not sure when, but at some point it's been resprayed very poorly. They sprayed over almost everything, handles, seals, you name it. The only areas of concern I've found so far is the right rear quarter panel, the bottom of the rear widow and the bottom...

    68 Dart 4 door. Passenger side doors inoperable.

    Thanks guys. Sprayed everything down with some penetrating oil as best I could. Let it sit for a while then took a soft face dead blow hammer to lightly tap around the areas of the latch. Then got inside and pulled the handle while giving it a good solid shoulder. Once open I got some oil...

Upon going over the outside of the...

    Hello from Deep East Texas

    No doubt about that. No intentions of an engine swap any time soon. However it's got some bugs to work out of the current /6. To start with cleaning the carb, checking the plugs and wires and taking a look at the distributor. It runs, but the minute you give it any throttle it wants to fall on...

    Hello from Deep East Texas

    Just picked up this 1968 Dodge Dart sedan with the /6. Literally just brought it home today. Not really sure what direction I wanna go with it yet so I'm here to soak up all the knowledge I can. The car has 36k original miles and seems to be untouched. It's been sitting for a long time so I've...
