The Other 68 Dart Resto Project
I got a lot done this weekend on the Dart. Although the Dart has almost no rust-through anywhere, there was a fair amount of surface rust everywhere, this has been my personal battle since I got it. I am happy to report that I am winning the battle. Previously I stripped and painted the rear half of the underbody and refinished and rebuilt the rear suspension. This weekend I got more done, I installed the new gas tank and fuel pickup, I stripped the inside of the trunk, cleaned everythng with laquer thinner, wiped everything down with wax & grease remover, covered the rust with Eastwood Rust Converter, and finally primered the whole trunk in Eastwood's Rust Encapulator. I also pulled the rear bumper and prepped the rear valance with more Rust Converter. I also stripped the bumper brackets and painted them. I finally finished up today with getting my rear drum brakes put back together.
