When you get ready to work with the seat covers, place them in your dryer on high heat for about 25-30 minutes. That will make them much more pliable than laying them in the sun when it comes time to stretch them over the seat frame. I put my Legendary covers in the dryer when I was installing...

I would second the idea about ordering from Dante's. Dante sells the Legendary covers but they are cheaper than if if you buy them direct from Legendary. Don't try to go the cheap route on your seat covers if you can help it.

I did mine in my basement. The front buckets were tough, but doable. I actually had to get help to have enough "muscles" to stretch the rear cover over the frame. I would also recommend heating the covers in the dryer versus the sun technique. You can get them warmer and more pliable in a much...

Thanks for the concern. I originally posted that during my build three years ago. I ended up buying all new seat belts anyway when I finished the car. I wasn't convinced that the boiling method was the best.

I didn't have any luck finding most of the dash knobs when I refinished the dash on my 69 Dart. I ended up polishing them the best I could using a small dremel tool.

I would call Dante's. My entire interior (seat covers, door panels, carpet, headliner) came from them and I have no complaints. Depending on how fast you need it, he will deliver it to Carlisle in July for free.

Since the geometry on the roof of the 70 is basically the same as my 69, I will tell you what order mine went in. First, the longest bows were towards the back of the car, and they get shorter as you come to the front. My car had five bows and they were colored this way from front to back: Green...

Get you a new dash pad from Dante's Mopar parts. I believe they are from Legendary, but you can actually get them cheaper from Dante than buy them direct from Legendary.

That is an excellent idea. Did you happen to glue long strips of Velcro around the console or just short sections?

That's exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated.

Does anyone have pictures of how the one-piece wrap-around console carpet attaches to the center console for a 69 Dart? I am in the process of replacing all the wiring harnesses in the car, so I figured I would also take the console out to replace the top plate and fix the carpet. The guy who...

I believe I used Krylon Semi-Flat on my dash.

I have bought plenty of stuff from Dante over the years. In fact, I think every time I have called him, he actually answered the phone. I feel pretty confident you could have a good conversation with him to clear up any confusion.

Legendary will be your best option. But I would recommend trying to buy them through Dantes (mentioned above). I think he can sell them cheaper than you can actually buy them direct from Legendary.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

I have them installed. I just want to make sure that I have the right belts on the floor on each side of the bucket seats. There are no shoulder belt mounts in my car because of the radical roof swap we did during my resto.

While my car has been done for more than a year, I have wondered if my seat belts in the front are installed correctly. Does anyone have pictures of what inboard and outboard seat belts are mounted for front bucket seats on a 69 Dart? I just want to confirm mainly that my outboard belts are...

Unfortunately, I don't have the template anymore. It was pretty much destroyed in the process of doing my conversion. But seeing as you have the dimensions in your second post, I suspect you could replicate the same template relatively easy. Just use something sturdy, like double thick poster board.

You can't go wrong buying Legendary from Dante.

You can get it out, but it is a heck of a lot easier to get it out with the windshield out.

I ordered a set for my Dart from Dante's Mopar Parts. I am very happy with them.

Definitely call him. Dante himself usually answers the phone. He can get you everything you need. If you make the trek to Carlisle, PA for the All-Chrysler show, he will even deliver to you there for free in July.

Order everything through Dante's Mopars. It is all Legendary products but it will actually be cheaper than ordering direct from Legendary. Everything inside my Dart came from Dante.

This is exactly what happened when I tried to disconnect it. The sheath did pull back but the cable remained stuck in the back of the speedometer.

I wish that was the case, but I know its not. The reason I need to unplug it is because the speedometer is making a helluva racket. May have to have the speedometer rebuilt, if the cable (which is brand new) is not the issue.

I think opinions vary on that question on whether it is a good idea or not. Some have expressed concern that the seat belts might be compromised from boiling them to dye them. I dyed my original belts with the Rit dye and they came out fine.

I didn't think you had to turn it. I thought just pinch the clip and pull. In fact, I think just the cable itself was hanging up inside the back of the gauge.

I am trying to chase down an ongoing issue with noise in my speedometer. However, when I tried to disconnect the speedometer cable from the back of the gauge, the cable seemed to be hung up on something and would not just pull out. Any idea what the cable could hang up on preventing its removal...

Check with Dante's. He had the best price when I bought my legendary seat covers. And he delivered them to Carlisle for free.

One last thought, there are two versions of that bracket that mount on the side of the transmission (the one with the little o-ring hole). I discovered this when I was doing my conversion. I am not sure which one is the correct one for your car, but you will know if it is right once you drop...
