Very cool Scott. Smart man sticking with the '67. There is quite a bit of fab work involved including replacing the rear tail light sections of the quarter panels to use either 68 or 69 tail lights. Plus, the '67 tail lights look great! Do you have a build thread?

I like the idea of creating a "what if" type of car. I got my car and shortly after found out about the GT model. A friends girlfriend got one out of California, then hit someone/something and crunched a front fender. Tried to buy it but she wouldn't sell. Lost touch with her and she had sold it for scrap. It needed work but was complete, black, bucket/console car. It was after that I decided to clone one. Then I found out about the Hemi Darts. After daydreaming for a few years that I could find and fix up 2 Darts, I settled on a 67 GT Hemi Dart. I got an interior from one guy, the tail panel from the people do Mopar umbrellas and beer koozies at the Bats in Columbus, grilles and emblems from swap meets. I even got a tattoo of a fender emblem on my arm before I had even seen one with my own eyes!

I do have a build thread, but it's just pics of a dirty car and some parts. I just looked and I haven't posted for over a year! When I found your thread I knew I had to get moving on my car or give everything away, and I'm not about to do that!
