Most of our cars are not the sole transportation and are well cared for, garaged, not driven in inclement weather, maintained meticulously. So yeah, you want to do a vinyl top, get er done! I’ll be doing one on my 69’ Dart GT.

Use rubbing alcohol.

Fully extend the struts then mark where the bottom is and mount accordingly.

That is correct.

They are one in the same, but back then it was called brite dipping.

That’s incorrect. The factory “brite dipped” the grilles. If your grille hasn’t been touched, there’s not much you can do. You can strip to bare aluminum and polish it, paint it and then 1-2 times a year polish it with mother’s. Or you can strip it, polish it and send it out for brite...

The problem is the hole in the upper hinge. It’s only about 1/8 wide, so in order to keep the hinge from bowing out, you need to sleeve the hole so the pin on the body has more contact area.

No problem.

The lift gate struts. They work just fine, but I’m thinking that a stiffer strut, maybe about 230lbs would be better.

I tried the Guden struts, they did not have enough strength to open the hood and it could barely keep it open at full stroke. So I got some for a 2004 Mitsubishi Montero, they are way better, a bit longer and all around beefier. I also drilled/tapped the pivot pin and used a steel bushing on...

This is what I came up with. Works perfectly and by welding a tube to the hinge, you spread the load over more area and hinge has considerably less side to side movement.

ILL be ordering Monday morning.

I’m looking at installing gas struts on on my 69’ Dart hood hinges and can not find anything using the “search” on here. Can someone help me find it?

Just moving this to the top as I see people are in need of these clips.

The ones made are incorrect. Just knock out the stud and put it back from the opposite side and do a small tack weld. Your set, that’s what I did for my panel.

Yes. Classic industries or 521 Restorations. They are listed as 68-69 RR or 69 Barracuda.

If you need tail panel clips and figure out that they were made different from the factory, your still good to go. This is what I did. Knock out the stud, and come through on the other side. Use a nut to hold it center and tack weld it. Do this for all 14 clips and your golden. The reason...

That is bitchin'!!

Nice job!

Ya done good, grasshopper!

AMD makes front fenders and rear quarters for the 67 Dart.

Thanks fella's!!!

Will a 70 Dart doors fit and line up just right with a 69 Dart?

HaHa, that would be me. I will send you a pm.

When I do a grille, it can take 40-60 hours from start to finish. So be ready for some quality time with your project.

Check over on FBBO to see what I've done with grilles....I redo them.

My dad has a 70 challenger rt and bought a goodmark fender, it was so out of whack it would have cost more to "fix" the new fender than it was to repair the original fender. There went 500 bucks down the tube!!
