You mean Bare Metal Foil right? I never thought of using this on plastic bezels but it should work and look pretty good. I would just be concerned how durable it would be over time. I used to use this stuff on models with great success although durability was not an issue as the models dont get...

Anybody ever put a Catilic Converter on their old Mopars? Wondering if it would get rid of the nasty old car exaust smell. Wondering how much performance you would lose. I come across used catilic converters all the time when I strip my destruction derby cars, usuasilly I just recycle them but...

That seat is nice, are they re-covered or original? I see a builders sheet so I am guessing original. Great shape if it is! Wish I was closer shipping across the country would put it out of my price range.

You could use #6 screws and offset the holes. (Drill new pilot holes next to the old), and fill the old holes. Or weld up the old holes to add a little material. Put a welding blanket down on that paint.

My rear valance on my 70 was toast as I got hit on the drivers side quater. I got a salvageable one with damage on only the passenger side and was going to use the welder to make one good one. Then I found an even better valance at a local Pick N Pull yard. Think the price was less than $25...

I am thinking the blower motor resister is bad. I need to probe a few areas with a test light. If I end up hotwireing it I will use a relay. I had it hotwired with a relay when this car was my daily driver just to get defrost. I have replaced my push button vaccume controls with a new unit from...

Wish I saw these diagrams a few hours ago. Much easier to understand than the factory service manuals. I have my vaccume lines hooked up and the push buttons seem to work like they should, although with the AC not charged its hard to know for shure if all of it works. I tested all of this with...

My wife hate's my Dart, It was her daily driver when we were first dating. My commute was longer so she drove the Dart to school and I drove a POS 89 Hyundi excell 5 speed. The Dert used to stall on cold mornings if you stepped on it, sucks when your trying to get out into traffic. Also the...

I have looked at RT's website and searched for these and can't seem to find them. Not shure if they just don't have em or if there just not listed on their website. I will have to give em a call.

I need some trim fasteners to attach my side trim to my dart. I need the type that has the barrel that pushes into the hole on the side of the panel and the the clip that attaches the trim pushes in and is a friction/press type fit. All I can find are the type that have a nut from the backside...

I put new felts in mine and glued the chrome to the glass with the same black 3M adhesive that I used on my trunk seal and door seals. 3M #08011 I believe.

Thats gonna leak, well they all leak.

My HF Sawzall finally gave up the ghoast this year after about 7 years of faithfull service, many summaers of Destruction Derbies. I burned up two of their 4 1/2" grinders this year and replaced it with a Ryobi acct. I needed a grinder ASAP and Home Depot is a lot closer than Harbor Freight. We...

Not shure what brand but it's the right price!

So I'm cutting and buffing my new paint and here comes my neighbor from across the street. Compliments my paint and I show him the difference between the fresh paint and the cut and buffed. Next thing you know we are talking about sound deadner and he says he will be right back. He brings over 2...

When my Dart was my daily driver I put an electric pump on mine. Think I bought it at wal Mart or Kragen. I am converting it back to the pump style, going for the original look. I always thought the foot pump and the non electric remote mirror were some of the unique parts of this car.

It't not easy to get the Catwiskers out. It's even harder to get them out without damaging them. Get a set of picks from Harbour Freight, they have a set that has screw driver handles and different angles like 90 degree and 45 on the end. Bought mine for about $3. then you have to pry on the...

I used one of those Harbour Freight blasters to strip the cowl vent on my 70 Dart. Did the job but I am still cleaning baking soda from the cowl and vents.

Ok, I really wish the sun was out when I took the pics but here they are. Have a few minor issues to fix. a little dust but most of it will cut and buff out. A couple of light spots but so hard to tell with the color and light. Might re-shoot the hood as is has a couple of long scratches where...

Got the base coat on Sunday. It got late, we had been at it for 14 hours and decided to shoot the clear today. Fixed a few defects this afternoon and shot a tad bit more base. Then layed down 2 coats of clear. Still have the valances to paint but we held off as there was no room in our "booth"...

Thanks for the tip on the door tag. Car is wet sanded and ready for paint, booth is set up (Friends Garage), trailer is here, loading the car tonight, hopefully it will all be yellow by tomorrow afternoon. I was not shure we had enough paint left to spray the outside, had less than half a...

So they were never made in small bolt patteren? If I get a big bolt pattern one would it be possable to drill 5 more holes in small bolt pattern maybe using a brake drum as a drilling template?

I see that there are quite a few "Rails" on here. I am a Locomotive Engineer for BNSF working out of Northern California. Has it really been 13 years...?

Nice Dart, I am restoring a 70 myself. I am a BNSF Engineer sometimes working out of Stockton. Maybe we have changed crews at Roseville.

Anybody know if a spacesaver donught rim was made to fit a small bolt and big bolt pattern? I have Small bolt in the front and big bolt in the rear. I would like to carry only one spare. Its not likely I will switch to big bolt in the front becouse I already have disk brakes up front. I may...

I spent about 2 days reading this thread from start to finnish. Love the way you started out in an apartment one car garage, moved on to buying a house with an awesome work space. Shows how our car projects can mark milestones in our lives. Sometimes life gets in the way but you got it done...

Haven't updated in awhile so here goes. I primed about 3 weeks ago and it went on like cottege cheese. I am pretty shure it was a combination of the primer not being reduced enough and the panel temps too hot, it was 95 degrees and I was painting in direct sunlight. Anyway I had to use the DA...

I put another coat of primer on mine yesterday and of course the wind came up but it wasn't too bad. Did you paint your dart right where it sits? If so how did you keep crap out of the paint. I am too scared to paint my base/clear in the open air. Primer is one thing becouse it can be fix with...

Looks great, Shure wish I could get my 70's paint finnished but I'm still primimg and blocking.

The messages on facebook and the media about "never forgetting 911" are starting to annoy me. How could any American forget what happened on that dark day. I wasn't going to post to this thread until I spent the last 2 hours reading the forum thread that was posted by ab7fh. It brought back my...
