    1968 Dodge Dart GT Mopar Make-Over

    The areas that are bare metal were areas of minor surface rust. I removed any and all rust in those areas and widened my sanding margins as well, especially around the master cylinder.

    Barry told me the same thing. Basically sanded everything to 180 to get all the rough spots smoothed out. My original paint was in decent shape and I felt good about going over it with SPI. I wet sanded with 400 then sprayed an epoxy sealer coat before my single stage

    Yes he replied with a quote. I’ll get in touch with him again when the time comes. Reasonable price IMO. I’ve seen very nice work from him based on the pictures he sent me of a 68 and 69 gts panel.

    Thank you. I currently have 69 valve covers on. I replaced the broken tabs. I just got a set of 68 valve covers I need to fix up. Took me a long time to find a set.

    Yes I did post a quick clip of the break in. It runs good. The AVS2 carb runs really nice too. Haven’t had a chance yet to fine tune with a vacuum gauge. Still in the shake things out stage.

    Thank you! She’ll be a good driver while my kids are young. One ran into it with their tractor yesterday. Had a 2 second fit about it but was like oh well. It still needs paint and body down the road. No dents or anything. If it is was any flimsy newer car it would be in the body shop.

    Elves have been busy. One side of suspension nearly complete. K/H disc brake conversion QA1 upper control arms QA1 strut rods and eventually the tie rod sleeves. Hellwig sway bar. These tabs are way beefier than the Addco bar I have on my Valiant. Might be on all fours this weekend. :steering:
