66 dart convertible

yehaw! I was just talking with a guy at the sumter swap meet today and he just happened to have Mis-ordered a set to top rail weather strip for a 63-66 a-body convertible. Who's a thunk I would have found it at a predominately chevy swap meet. got it for 40 bucks too, so I saved a little on it also. made my day. I am doing the fiddly stuff now to finish up the dart. Right now I'm banging out the dent's in every piece of trim and test fitting the front grill and bezels after I straightened them up. I still have to soak em to remove the anodizing so I can finish up sanding them,sot them to 320 so far and a ways to go to make em look good!
but they fint the body lines a lot better than they did before. and the body has been sanded to 2000 so far. whew tired of sanding.
looks a lot better than the smashed in bottom. the shapes a little off but I'll reshape it when I put on the steel bottom piece on with rivets.

a better view of the bottom piece that I worked on in the grill area and both bezels. the hood piece needs MAJOR work to straighten out and reweld some split seams on the ends.

got most of em and just tried those Aluminium low Temperature rods to get that deep gouge out on the edge. We'll see how it polishes up when I get to that stage.
