68 Dart Project.
Been about a month since any updates, but I have been making headway on the Dart. Some pictures to check out.
I have the driveshaft finished along with the hoop. Hoop will get painted blue off of the car and then welded in for good, likely in a week or so. The drivershaft is a 3.5" with 1350 u joints and steel yokes on both ends.
The steering column has been shortened now and the shaft modified. It has since been painted and ready to go in for good.
I put together the small poly paint booth as well. Lots of small parts to paint, this is a must have for the DIY guy.
All bumper brackets got sand blasted, primed and a couple of good heavy coats of Endura 2 part paint. Endura takes over a full day to dry but it's tough as nails afterwards.
Steering wheel took lots of work. Good as new now.
Tackled the deck lid too. Some repairs were needed. Lots of sanding.
Top of trunk lid blocked out perfect. A little more work in a couple of places across the back still needed. The deck lid used to have the full panel across the rear and GT emblems so there was a number of holes to weld in. I expect the underside will turn blue in a couple of days or so.
Lots of interior pieces finished up, ready to install when the time comes.
Pretty soon it's gonna be time to get back on the body, a few things to finish up before the poly paint booth gets set up. Making headway but that's about it guys.
