1969 Dart GT Convertible

Well, the rear axle assembly is complete and installed, as well as the entire fuel system (p.s. 5/16" in tank screens, or socks are no longer available from Mopar, or anyone else it seems, but GM has a reasonable replacement). Front suspension is complete except for the steering box which is being rebuilt (outsourced) and 2 anti sway bar mounts. I put the front suspension in as one assembly from the bottom as a trial fit for doing the engine from the bottom. Only took 20 minutes, and easy as cake...or pie. I've got the 1/4 glass tracks, and regulators cleaned, dry lubed and ready to go back in. Had to do a bit of cursing at the rear 1/4 reproduction reflectors which suck,.....and that's being nice. I modified the hell out of them, now they fit like stock, although are smaller in appearance. I recently bought an airbrush to touch up some small imperfections, and painting small pieces, nuts, bolts etc, that were missed in final paint. Works awesome. I should have some chrome bits back by the weekend so some pretty parts will get popped on. I got a bunch of sound deadener/insulation from Eastwoods and install has been good so far, did inside the doors and 1/4s where the glass goes. Definite sound improvement. Door sounds solid, rather than tinny. The car is ready for tires/wheels so those will be the next big ticket item, then I'll likely get started on the brake/clutch pedal resto, then battery locate, and onto wiring this bad boy up. The only cursing I've done so far is at the immense lack of quality in any of the new parts that I have purchased. It is not a vendor issue, but a manufacturing issue. I'll take good used parts any day. Anyhow, enjoy the pics,
