Thanks for the feedback and thanks for confirming the measurement! The car had buckets from a 67 barracuda, it never dawned on me the previous owner swapped front and back... I'm also skeptical the cover will fit the wider seat. Looks like another project may be added to the list, new seat...

I have a question regarding seat covers and rear seat dimensions for a 69 Dart. I have reason to believe I have 67 Barracuda rear seats. The dimension across the top is around 51" and I have a substantial gap, see pic below. I have a spare spring seat that is 53.5" across the top, which would...

I have a 340 and an A833OD four speed. I am looking at options to rebuild the 340 and I still need some random parts for the 4 speed. I hope to have nearly everything but the engine and tranny in before it gets cold out, but I am not sure if that will happen or not. I remain optimistic, but...

more progress... Got the dash in and a lot of items that attach to the firewall. Up next is brakes and front grill items. I decided to stop worrying about every little detail for items that can be easily pulled off and replaced or cleaned over a weekend. I want to get it on the road and wrap...

keep!

more progress... finished bezels and the dash is all but ready to put back in. I am however going to start putting things back on the firewall before I do since the access is easier for now. Slow and steady... A couple hours each weekend will add up!

Progress! finished some larger projects in the yard and around the house, so now I get to focus on the Dart. Suspension and breaks were completed and she is back on the ground. Next is the dash and attaching stuff to the fire wall. Slow and steady progress...

As far as what could get damaged sitting in a box, I am only worried that if the wires are fairly brittle from the dry climate, they may crack or get disconnected in some fashion. The harness is rather clean and I have a spare harness from a parts car, but it was pretty rusted since I picked...

That sure is a more affordable route... And I can get back to it sooner, maybe I will go that route unless I see something obviously vey wrong with the original harness.

it is a lot, I think mine may be okay, but it has sat in a box for 4 years now, so I am just worried it may have gotten damaged over the years...

I am looking for easiest way to replace my under dash wire harness and found the one in the link below. Does this one need anything other than just plugging in? I cannot compare the pic to the actual very well, and wanted to know if others bought this one and how did it go...

Slow and steady... Suspension is nearly complete. Just need some new brake parts to arrive to fully put it all back together. Cleaned the hood latch and put it back on. Sadly, the paint was poorly applied on front and latch so I just painted it flat black. It's not a show car, it is a...

Wheel wells painted

More progress. Cleaned up the wheel wells. The car was virtually rust free as you can see. I hope to get them painted next weekend and get the suspension back on the week after.

The pic was of the suspension during cleaning and prep for paint. I attached it to prove I am making progress... lol
