The car was my wife's grandfather's. The rest is minimal. So far it's the pin holes in the trunk, a small spot in the forward portion of both sides of the floor pan, and a spot in the inner wheel well where some undercoating cracked and was packed with dirt. I assume there's also some rust...

While I haven't even bought a welder yet, let alone figured out how to work one, I'm starting to deal with the rust repair on my 74 Dart. In the spare tire well, driver's side, above the tank are some pin holes. Is there a good way to deal with this without pulling the tank? If they weren't...

74 Dart Sport First off, what the heck are the rubber thingies called that stick like 15 feet out from my bumper? If I knew what they were called I could probably do a search for how to deal with the next item... When I rip those stupid things off, what would go in their place?

I'll ask where the water first shows up when it leaks. It might be obvious, like the side of your head is getting wet when somebody fires a hose at the back part of the window. Or, your toes get wet when the hose hits the cowl. Or, I'll add cleaning the cowl area and fixing the wiper shaft...

No vinyl roof. 2 door. Without covered parking, if I get home, the interior just gets wet. The only way this works is if I can figure it all out. Or, in this case, throw everything I can think of at it and fix the problem along with a bunch of non-problems. Headliner and almost the entire...

At somepoint, I'm getting a '74 Dart from my father-in-law, it was my wife's grandfather's. I have great plans for it, but until I have a garage to implement these plans, it would just be nice to have a second car. In the meantime, the only thing wrong wit the car is that it leaks. Having...

Alright. Anybody know of a course taught in the Seattle area for welding? All I'm seeing is stuff for welding or body work career track stuff. I don't need to make a living at it, I just want to learn enough to do this right, not make a career out of it!

Welding it is. Heck, I might even try spraying the car myself! Worst case scenario, I pay somebody to fix it. Any thoughts on what order to do this in? The interior needs very little, just recovering the stock bench (or swapping in buckets) and a stereo system which I have a plan for. I...

Can I rivet inside the window frame and still get the window to seal? The more I look into this, if I do the prep and find somebody to do the metal work, then I spray the primer and block...a $500 trip to Maaco might then be the answer. I'm sure I'll come up with 100 other ideas between now...

Thanks for the panel bond idea. Having seen the car that I'm marrying into only once, I 'think' the bulk of the rust around the rear window is closer to the top of the window. A buddy of mine also came up with a pretty radical idea to save money on my build, or at least put off spending...

I'm not welder and I don't own a welder. I need to repair the rust around the rear window of my 74 Dart. Am I stuck paying a body shop or is there an effective way to do this without welding? I know somebody will ask for pics so, sadly, I'll have to say up front, I don't have any and the car...
