I was not aware of the early cars having shocks, then switching back to brackets. My December and February produced Dart Sport 360's both have the brackets, not shocks. Both cars have the 3 holes on the side of the frame, and the small hole in the front for the shocks, so they could use either...

it's a Dart Sport, and has the 4 Dart Sport tail lights. Perhaps the photo angle and damage make that hard to see.

The Canadian Dart Sports are identical to US Dart Sports. The snorkel scoop is cracked and stressed from the bent hood, but it is repairable. This car did have the blackout hood and scoop, and my sunroof Dart Sport that I am rebuilding, also has the blackout and scoop.

I do it to every A body that I restore, before I install the rear fender shields. I just force it into the coil, and after a few cycles, your hinges will be quieter, smoother, and easier to close.

Story I was told, is it was crashed during a high speed police chase in the early 90's. It's a total wreck, but it will donate it's engine, trans etc to my sunroof Dart Sport. Loads of good parts believe it or not.

Neat car, but this one certainly won't be back on the road.

The early 74's had the 73 style front bumper brackets, later production had the shocks. You can switch from one to the other if desired. The 74 cars had holes for both designs.

It's the nature of the design. I like to pack the spring with grease. Helps the hood to close easier, and gets rid of that spring "gronk" sound.

I find that the bumpers were installed prior to undercoat. Front bumper brackets usually have overspray on the rear area. Pretty much any part in the general area of the wheel wells would be installed prior to undercoating. The rear axle rebound bumpers were undercoated, so were the front fender...

I have done this exact conversion. I used the entire front inner structure with headlight mount from the 69 fender and swapped it into the 74 fender, and cut and butt welded in the side marker opening.

It was designed that way. You have to lock the door from the outside with the key.

70-72 use the same brackets. Sounds like you have 1973 brackets. 1973 added the horizontal bar because of the 5 mph impact regulations for 1973. These brackets also place the bumper further out.

AMD makes 67-69 Barracuda trunk extensions [trunk drops]. I have installed them and they are excellent. 67-68 fenders are not the same. There are differences in the headlight and bezel mounting. But the basic stamping of the 67, 68, and 69 fenders are the same, other than the 69 side marker. A...

So for 67-69 Barracudas currently AMD makes: front valance. Inner fender aprons. outer rocker panels. inner rocker panels. full interior floor. trunk floor. trunk floor extensions. full outer quarter panels. outer wheelhouses. inner wheel houses. rear deck panel. rear valance. Front / rear...

Comparing early A bodies to the 67 and newer cars, the dimensions are very close. The biggest change in the 67 re-design was widening the front frame rails. The basic centre structure of the 66 and older cars is basically the same as the 67 and later cars. I would suspect that a Duster floor...

My 74 Dart Sport has the electric grid rear defroster. It also has E58 360, snorkel hood scoop, hood blackout, dual racing mirrors, sunroof, buckets, console, and fold down back seat. Many A bodies in Canada have the rear window defog blower.

The vinyl parts like dash pads, arm rests, visors, and seats all take dying very well. The hard plastic parts like the upper door panels on the 73-76 A bodies often are oxidized, and sometimes a very careful bead blasting with very fine grit will clean it off and leave the texture unharmed...

Also, check out the SEM website. Top quality products, and they have detailed instructions on the proper cleaning and preparation for each product. They have a wide variety of aerosols, and can mix from formulas too

Classic Industries has a line of interior plastic paint that has accurate Mopar interior colors. I have used a lot of it, and it's very good. Adhesion promoter is needed on some plastics, but not all. Kick panels for example, need it.

Chrysler changed their paint code system in 1969. Your DD-1 code is the method Chrysler last used in 1968

This is correct. Some colours carried over. For example. FY1 Top Banana yellow came out in 1970, therefore F, for 1970, Y for yellow, 1 for light, and this color was available for a few years following, so the code did not change. B5 blue though, did change over the years, so the prefix changed...

If you insist on dipping it, at least cut away the rusty lower quarters etc so all the crud can drain out. If you don't, all the junk, dirt, bullets, bottle caps and wrenches that fell in the quarters over 50 years will still be in there. Having restored a car that was dipped, I would never do...

Top photo with tape measure hooked on left corner of trunk lid

The emblems are metal. I hooked the tape measure on the lower corner of the trunk lid.

I can take some measurements for you

Here is my original paint 72 Demon 318 car. From my research, the "regular" Demons use the two Dodge and Dart emblems like this. The 340 cars use the stick on DODGE emblem, because they had the stripe with demon 340 right below.

67-70 and early 71's have the same inner fenders, other than some minor year to year details. All the left sides are basically identical other than the battery tray reinforcement changed starting in 70. Late 71-72 have a recess on the right panel for the charcoal canister. 73-76 have a larger...

70-72 Valiant hoods will fit, but be aware of the differences in hood mounting to the hinge. 70 and some 71 hoods have a sliding plate in the hood, and the hinges have small holes. Some 71 and most 72's have fixed plate in the hood and large holes in the hinges. Mixing and matching can make for...

Here is a comparison of AMD panels to the generic parts Facebook

AMD is the only company making full quarters for Darts. AMD did make quarter skins and patches, but they discontinued them a couple years ago. The AMD skins were fantastic parts, and it's unfortunate that these are no longer available. The quarter skins sold by Sherman etc are a generic panel...
