I have a lot of those parts. Plus as I am not looking for 100% restoration correctness. I am only looking to get it back into shape for drag car. If pieces are missing from interior I don't care at this point. Parts can be acquired later or not at all.
What about A pillar alignment and being able to replace the A pillars if they are rusted to far gone? Doner car? Any A body will work? Straighness so the glass will fit in correctly?
Have you been advertising these cars for sale to get them back out there in the public and see if someone will restore them or get them ready for race track? I am not interested in them but just wondering if you had any offers?
Actually, i traded a couple of cars for them thinking i had a buyer, but that fell through.
you sold the whole roof off the blue one? The roof skin or the whole frame also? Is there any roof frame there on it anymore? The blue one looks pretty good. Rails and floors can be fixed. Tons of parts out there for all the bolt on sheet metal and interior. I have 68 and 69 darts and a 69 Coronet also. If your interested I can shoot you some pics.
Thnks for input. Not putting in a cage though. No roof is produced from AMD for these cars. Checked into it so will have to find a wrecked destroyed car that roof is half decent to graft on.
go to the wreaking yard with a measuring tape and check out all roofs and their dimensions and you will find something that can fit. ever build a pelt car?
No, never built a pelt car. I can aquire one roof already cut off and with a qtr panel attached from it in the same yard
well up here in northern rust heaven we sometimes build pelt cars. glad you found a roof . now you just have to save the rest of it. patience will save another one for all to enjoy and see again.
i never heard of a quilt car. up here in the great white north , when there is no frame or floor left we find a car with the same wheel base or about and cut it from the floors down and but the body/skin(pelt) onto it and the rest is welding it back up. Camaro's / firebird's fit nice under mid 30's to 40's bodies well. i can see a more door a-body Valiant/ scamp etc. sliced and it would fit nice under one of those cuda bodies as a good starting base for it come back to the streets or track in this case.
If you can buy them cheap the back glass is worth $2K(each) alone! Also the red one has a lot of good metal and deck lid. Saving trim, chrome, emblems and vent windows you would make your $$ back if you have time and space to store them.
yes i agree, save everything and sell it to people that need these parts. sitting in the bushes is a waste.
The blue one has the whole roof cut off of it.
