I know well the feeling...

This would be very $pricy$ to buy even in the states. - I spent a few $. The real problem is: I will have to import hot rod parts from US. Cheap parts became expensive in this process. For example, I bouth a 4" drop socal from axle. 250$. Paid more 260$ to import. Dont stress over the...

my wife hates grass and bugs. So I decided to concrete the backyard area and abort the swimming pool project. the 5-window coupe is a fiberglass replica. I bought it last year. A friend makes these fiberglass bodies (www.lakester.com.br). I´m just doing minor works on it. I enjoy a lot...

last week I cleaned up the mess in my yard.

hi all... car is not yet finished, but it is making me happy.

today I went to a friend´s home ... driving my dart SE finally a longer run than a ride around the corners

Hi guys, I´m using instagram to post photos and videos. Hope link works here. Last weekend I solved a small issue that was annoying me. Horn button! I did not find a stock horn button, so, a friend aluminum casted one for me. I had to change the nut because it was touching the steering column...

Thanks for your words. I was planning to use 68 front grilles on my past dart. When I sold it, I sold spare parts. The actual dart, the one I rescued from a junkyard, I will try to use all possible Brazilian stock parts. I have its matching number engine (yet not rebuild) wich I will use in...

everything ok, but my Dart license has been cancelled in 1984! Brazilian burocracy is really crazy.

In sum, I´m happy I´ll buy a few missing part (will ask for help later) and my car still not have register (had to hire a lawyer)

Forgot to tell all of you. I lost a few pounds and had my hair cutted. Take a look at last Sunday´s movie my wife made.

I also fixed a leak on steering pump. I thought was the o-ring. but I realized that I did nod properly tightened the rear screws. Well, bought new oring (just in case) and installed again.

I also installed taillights they look like 68 US tail lights, but Brazilian are plastic (or acrilic). In special, the model of my dart (dart SE) they are black. My old dart (the 76 model) used a totally different taillight. in a near future, I will use the metal taillights. Just have to buy a...

thanks!

Hi guys, such a long time I think I´m back! last 2 months I re-started working on my car. I did finished exuahsts, cleaned carb and now, I think I can ride it around the neighborhood. I´ve build all exhaust system at home (but the headers, which are long hookers´s), using scrap stainless...

I also installed sunvisors, inner mirror and floor mat ahhhh, seats are already in place also

1 step ahead 2 backward. When I glued new mirror, It broke Passenger side roofrail trim does not fit. How ?????? I saw some friends mopar and I realized that trims are a messy. some trims fits each other by outer side. Some fits each other by inner side. Furtunately I bought a trim that fits...

painted external mirror and roofarail trims.

Hi guys, I had some personal issues... lot of work, depression crisis etc. I did my best during the last months. I know that I could do better, but I did not pushed me hard. today I drove on my street. Car is not ok. I will have to work on carb. I notice fuel is not enought (maybe dust on carb...

Geometry of the wheels huh? Must mean you need an alignment. :eek::steering: DUHHHHH, I was afraid doing a 1-to-1 translation from Brazilian Portuguese to English... YEP.. alignment!

Hi Guys! I´m away for some good reasons... work! Well.. good news... I´m running around neighboorhood seats are in place. I´m without exhaust mufflers yet. Did not have time to weld. most important think... I definitely must to take dart to a shop to make wheels geometry.

Well, later I will tell the complete history. Inner front trim did not fit perfectly. Had to put a lot of glass glue. I´m a bit disapointed. I will try to use the car as soon as possible. Otherwise, my dart will be consumed by time (rust).

Last challenge before install windshield. I must paint this part where I welded. On passenger side I also must to paint a similar damage. Note a rust that the guy I paid for, did not treated properly. It is the first time I will repaint in a small portion of a part.

Installed vinyl edge trims. I think the only remaining thing is trimming excess of healiner.

I Went to a Drag Race in Brazil and I Found America

Driver side is not 100%. Photo is overestimating the wrinkle. But I think this wrinkle will disapear when I apply some more heat using my wife´s hairdryer... no!... defenitely I will use my heat gun.

dam´t. picasa isn´t working. today I almost finished. spent about 2 hours to glue vynil on both sides. Seems a lot of time, but I do everything slowly... taking photos, having a breakfast, cleaning tools. Now I just have to strench rear column. Which seems to be a "not easy" task.

Today I stretched headliner. I´m following this tutorial Restorations by Rick Kreuziger - Headliner installation I spent until now about 2 hours - 1 hour preparing headliner, making inital cuts; inserting bows into hanger clips, also installing the 2 small wires with hooks on the end). - 1...
