Dad’s 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340
Last update for a week or so. Going on vacation. I have been working on the dash and gauge cluster to fill the time before vacation. I am replacing the ammeter with a voltmeter using the tried and true Sunpro CP8215. I also stripped the gauge and heater bezels. I tried all sorts of tricks... oven cleaner, Purple Power, and evening paint stripper (ruined the radio bezel with that). Turns out the best option was media blasting them! I took the lens our first of course. I only got a before shot of the heater bezel, but it shows you the level of nasty I started with. I did have a screw hole to repair on the gauge bezel. I love epoxy.
