    vinyl top and headliner questions

    I have done many tops and headliners on Darts. I don't find them difficult because I have experience...but if you don't, it will be hard for you. The area around the rear window will pucker the headliner if you don't stretch, relieve cut and heat it right and the top is tricky with the meterial...

    tac mounts lets see them

    When I was younger(back in the 80's), I had three street cars: a 70 340 dart, 69 superbee and 65 426 coronet 500. I had wired each one with a harness like the one below and taped the plug under the dash near the steering columns in all three cars. and wired the tach with the matching end so I...

    Dash pad restoration beware

    No, I haven't used the company you mentioned. Sorry you are having such problems. If you specifically told them to use your original frame, and it was useable, as far as not being bent up or rusted out, they should have used it. You've tried to resolve this issue and have been patient, waited...

    Simulated chrome on instrument cluster & etc.

    This is the company that I used a few times. They rechromed the cluster for my Dart, Coronet and a couple other trim parts I had. Mr G's, they are from Texas. They did great work on my stuff. www.mrgusa.com

    The four speed console has a notch cut in the side for shifter clearence. there is a cover that goes over it and gets covered with carpet. I have used automatic consoles in four speed cars a few times before and worked out fine.

    Bucket or Bench?

    I am probably the only one that prefers the bench seat in my Dart. I had buckets in it for a while, but put the bench back in after a short time. And, with the four speed, I actually like the looks of the interior with the bench better.

    Dash covers vs dash pads

    If you are talking about your new Barracuda the choice is easy...go with the cover. I bought a new pad for my 71 hemicuda, it is a non air, 3 speaker dash pad and I pad over $600.00. I installed a cover on a 72 cuda for a customer and it looks great.

    New Guy with lotsa ?'s

You have to remember that 70 and up have the key in the column. 1970 is the only year that doesn't have the key release lever on the column. also check the length...power steering amd manual steering shaft are different...

    How well does dying seats work?

    Like they said...clean vinyl is the key to a good dye job. I dyed the interior from burnt orange to black, including the seats, in my 68 Charger and it worked out great. I used spray nine to get the vinyl clean and then applied multiple light coats of dye.

    4 Sp Console Pictures

    I had to make something similar a few while back. I used cardboard to get the basic shape, then I covered the cardboard with fiberglass resin. Sanded and shaped the piece to fit, covered it with carpet and there you go. I couldn't find one so I had to make my own.

    Install headliner

    Headliners are pretty much straight foward. I have come up with a few tricks over the years. I put the bows throught the listings and pop them into the roofrail. Then I use push on windlace to hold it on the sides before I start glueing anything. I do all my cuting, stretching, fitting and so...

    How do you DYE KICK PANELS?

    Dyeing interior panels is fairly easy. First use a good cleaner....not a protectorant. Armor all has silicone that will cause fisheyes in the paint. I use a cleaner like spray nine. After the panels are clean, spay on the vinyl/plastic dye in light coats. If you go to heavy, you will fill in the...

    Dart dash and dash trim

    Yes the dash can be removed from a dart. two bolts behind the kick panels and a row of screws around the windshield. Either remove the cluster, or the wiring and the whole thing should come out. I have removed them on my 70 340 swinger and a couple others as well. Hope this helps.
