Finally had some time to attach the new front spoiler I ordered back in May, all metal fabbed up by "Spoilers by Randy". It looks good and was easy enough to attach that a simpleton like myself could do it. :) I usually dont veer far from "stock" but I think it looks neat

Found it at Year One, this is it, correct? Thanks guys!

Ok I think I understand. The "plate" you're talking about is the silver-ish looking round metal plate in your photo in post 6. I will keep an eye out for that before buying any wheel I see for sale. Thanks!

Manual. Yeah it's a workout :) Yes but my question is what is the "mounting hardware" I need, that's what I'm trying to find out. :) Can't find anything online or with the major suppliers that's seems to be a "stock wheel mounting kit". Thanks, I figured I would need a new horn ring, at...

Thank you for the info. I have the S-83 rim-blow style wheel pictured in post #1 and want to change over to the S-79 style in the center of that photo. I posted a photo of my steering column in post #7, so it doesn't have the Tuff-wheel style "can" adapter. Does that mean the mounting of these...

I see what you're saying, but mine doesn't seem to have that round adapter between the steering wheel and the column like yours does, if you look at the picture I posted above in post #7. Are we talking about the same style "rim-blow" wheel?

Thank you, if I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying the Dart already has the hardware needed for mounting the S-79 wheel? Is there any other hardware I would need to get? Also, are the connections for the horn the same? Here is the best image I have on hand of the steering column. Is...

What materials do I need to convert from a rim-blow wheel to a "partial horn ring" wheel? The rim blow wheel on my 1970 Dart Swinger is cracked/ and non-working and just all-around gross and nasty. I love the look of the S-79 partial horn ring wheel and would like to convert to that. My...

Also cleaned up a bit under the hood, trying to keep it clean-looking sort-of stock-ish under there.

Hey all I know its been some time since I last updated this thread, been mostly lurking and learning new stuff from everyone, but i thought I'd share some new photos since I just got the car back from a week's stay at the body shop. Since I bought the car in sept 2020, it had some large dents...

I have used both of the Firehawk model tires in the 2nd and 3rd photos on my modern Hemi Charger, the ones in the second photo (which appear sorta asymmetrical) are on the car now, 20" wheels. I've been satisfied with them as a street tire, I don't race the car or anything like that, and it...

As far as I know, this is correct, after 1970 (?) when the snorkel-y air cleaner was used (as opposed to the earlier plain round one) they were plain black. Plain black is boring though so I got a custom callout graphic online from Squier design Slant Six Decals They're not actually "correct"...

I just noticed in the photo you posted the black and green wires are joined by a plug at the end. When i removed mine, there was an unused gray plug hanging from behind the dash plugged into nothing. I wonder if my radio (of indeterminate year) originally had a plug at the end of the black and...

Both green and black wires go to the speaker? Car only has one central dash speaker. There is a tiny Pentastar under the "15" between 102 and 108 FM:) Yeah I figure sound wont be great, id just like to hear something while I cruise :) Do you have a model number? I was googling "Motorola...

Man that sucks but what a nice car. Probably everything is available but that little black and chrome fender molding strip that's all scrunched up. My understanding is that those moldings are near-unobtainable (I have the same moldings on mine too!). Best of luck in getting her fixed up easy...

Hi everyone, I finally got around to pulling out the sorta/maybe/non-working AM/FM radio out of my '70 Dart I got in 2020. It is not the original radio as I later found out Darts didn't have one till '73 or so, so someone in the past added this in. Its fine with me it fits perfect in the...

It seemed to radiate outward from an old, tiny repair from a chip about 10+ years ago. I think it was that plus a combo of really cold temps and an idiot (myself) remote-starting it from the house with the defroster on high.

NOT about my Dart, but my "3-season" daily-driver 2008 Charger. Started her up today remotely from the house, it was about 22* outside and when the kids and I got in, I noticed the windshield was cracked about halfway across. I have taken two other cars to a local place ~10 miles away, and...

AJ and everyone, thanks for your replies, I really appreciate everyone taking the time to explain. I don't mind waiting to warm her up (in most circumstances). Its just one of those things that's kinda "irksome" I guess.

Thanks AJ for your insight. I tried to go up the hill with the engine (relatively) cold today because the car has never stalled when it was warmed up, only when cold. And the choke seems to work as it should, shut when cold and fully open when warm. It very well could be some problem with the...

This morning, I didn't let it warm up completely (only 2-3 minutes) and left the garage in 1st gear and not "Drive". When I made the turn to go up the hill and stepped on the gas- BOOM- the engine cut right off and stalled, same as id she were in "Drive". So I'm guessing its not a transmission...

I know what you're saying, and normally I don't mind letting it warm up (I let all my cars idle for a minute or two before driving off), but sometimes its a little embarrassing waiting in the car for 10 minutes idling at the cars and coffee. I feel shame being the local Slant-6 ambassador and...

Sorry, Im at the bottom of a moderately steep and longish hill. Not crazy steep, but enough to require the car to downshift to start up it. I will try leaving it in first gear instead of "Drive" tomorrow when i start out- see what happens! :thumbsup:

Hey all, I wanted to update this thread since I've been driving the Dart all summer and fall and still having the same problem. Fresh 93-octane refilled 3-4 times, new fuel filter, oil change, etc. Choke operates like it should. The car drives fine once its fully warmed up to operating...

That Slant sounds awesome :thumbsup:

Could it have been plain 'ol rubber cement? Stuff is awesome but never tried it on clear plastic lenses

Nice! My dad ordered me a new front bench seat cover from them for my '70 Swinger as a birthday present for me. Still waiting; my birthday was in June. As long as it gets here before we awake from winter hibernation :)

Finally got around to try some of the spray touch-up paint from paintscratch.com yesterday. I bought paint for both my Dart and my old Chevy, and I used their spray primer, mixed paint, and clearcoat to paint the abs plastic "bumper filler" that hangs between the rear fender and the rear bumper...

Shakespeare's Restaurant! I got engaged to my lovely wife there a couple of decades ago when we lived in 'da 'Burgh :) Barracuda looks great too :thumbsup:

Totally agree with ya. I like going to certain cruise nights and small car gatherings around here. I think I've seen one other Dart recently, but the last time I've seen another Slant 6 in the flesh was Fathers Day 2020 (I think). I think it makes my dad a little crazy when I park my "meek"...
