    1970 Dart for restoration in South Florida

    I have to sell my 1970 Dodge Dart. It's a /6 that will turn over, but there is an electrical problem, and it doesn't stay running. There is the typical body rust behind the wheels, but otherwise in pretty good shape. I have to sell it soon, so any offer will be considered. Buyer is...

    Basic Questions,

    OK, First off, I'm an extreme newbie to working on cars, but I love the A-bodies. I got a 70 Dart /6 that needs work, and I want to learn how to do the work myself. But I have a question, that is probably pretty basic. The original wheels are the 4in. bolt pattern. I love the ralleye wheels...

    Red Color

    I've got a 70 Dart, and was looking at painting it a dark red with a black bumblebee stripe. Anyone got any pics of 70-72 with a dark red or bergundy color so I can make sure it's a good color?

    9in coversion to Disk kit.

    Let me start by saying, I'm sure this had to be covered somewhere else but I couldn't find it. I have a 70 Dart /6 with 9in drums in the front. I want to switch to disks, but all the kits say 10in drums to disk conversions. Anyone know of a 9in to disk kit, or what would I need to get for a...

    4" vs. 4.5" bolt pattern

    OK I have a 70 Dart with 9in drums, (don't worry I'm replacing them with disks), but I don't know where to measure to determine if it is a 4" or 4.5" bolt pattern. Any advise on how to measure the bolts or at least where to measure to and from. :snakeman:

    72 Grille, on a 70 Dart

    Does anybody know if they are immediately compatible? The only difference I can tell is the bar running down the middle. Has anyone tried switching them? The reason I want to do this is I think it would look better with the snorkel I'm putting on the hood.

    "New" Drums = Disks?

    I've seen adds for american muscle brakes, which says its "new" drum brakes are as good as disk brakes. Anyone try them or know if their claim is accurate? They are litterally about half the price of doing a drum/disk conversion, but I wanted to hear it from someone who tried it first

    Trunk paint

    What's Splatter paint? If that's whats in the pic of the trunk, then I'd like to do that to my trunk. Is it something you can get at a normal hardware store? Any special coating that needs to be done or anything like that?

    Problem Running

    First off, I got this car in an effort to learn how to build cars. I have a 70 Dart /6. I can get the engine running (after some effort) but as soon as I let off the gas, the engine dies. We checked the gas pump and fuel filter and they are both allow gas to get to the carb. Any off the top...

    I just joined up (being as I just got a 70 Dart Swinger), but I'm surprised there aren't more South Florida people here. Its a shame, cause I need help with the car.

    New/Old Car Joys/Blues

    Thanks guys, First answer, I got the car from a dealership (I know, right). An older gentleman, I believe the first owner, turned it in as a trade in. I won the car on ebay, I just drove up and got the car on Wednesday. So the engine pic was from the ebay ad. Second comment/question, Yeah...

    New/Old Car Joys/Blues

    OK, first stupid question. I can't seem to find the hood release for my 70 Dart Swinger. The original owner's manual is still in the glove compartment (which was kool, although half rotted away), but I couldn't see in there where it is. Any help?
