Resurrecting the 1966 Dart Wagon
This post has been unearthed due to progress! I got sidetracked building a 1985 Cummins Crew Cab Dodge but now that it is mostly done, I have started to focus on the wagon. I need to get this car moving by next summer as we are trying to downsize and once assembled, I have a crap ton of spare parts to unload.
In 2 weeks I will start blasting parts of the car. I need to replace the head gasket on my Cummins but once that is done, I'll start moving on this thing some more. I drilled the spot welds out of the cowl panel and removed it to take care of hidden rust. The A pillar has some too so I may remove that as well. I'm just freaking out about hidden rust and only want to do the car once and take care of it from here on out.
The plan is to sandblast, patch, epoxy prime, seam seal and spot weld back together. I also stripped the undercoating off the bottom of the car and inner fenders. I'm going to do 3-4 coats of epoxy primer on the bottom side and probably raptor line the inner fenders and wheel wells. I like a bright undercarriage to see dirt and any leaks/rust spots etc.
Wondering what the A pillars are like inside:
Nothing is left on the body. Every nut and bolt even the hood hinges are removed!
