Help with 1970 Dart restoration please.

Somewhere, years ago, I got a set of sockets with soft plastic inserts in them, just for this purpose. You still have to do some touch up, but not nearly as much. Let the parts sit for 30 days or so after paint before you bolt it all together to let the paint cure well. (be sure to do that before you install your butt stripes too - I didn't once and the paint off gassed under the stripes and it took months to all come out.)

Thanks for taking time to shed some light. The car had most of the quarters removed so I never got to see where the emblems belong. That means I should have "Dart Swinger" emblems on each side of the quarters? Since I don't have the original to go by I will have to see if they have templates to help locate them on the new quarters. I want these holes drilled before paint. I don't want to drill them afterwards for sure.

My trunk should have what emblem(s)? Dart Swinger?

Anything on the fenders or some place else? What about the hood? I know it has hood scoops with "340".

The car came with auto, bucket seats and console.

I'm curious what the added trim features were as opposed to a Dart Swinger. These were exterior trim pieces? Side moldings? Hood, fender moldings?

The hood has a trim piece along the front. Also in the fender extensions.

My dodge charger has interior padded doors. Did the interiors have any padding any where?

Thanks for the A body education.
