    You could do it yourself, doesn't take much except time and effort. I just used the recommended settings that came with the paint. Body work, clean, prep, paint.

    67 and up summit 2 1/2" dual exhaust on 63 dart

    Has anyone tried using the summit dual exhaust kit for 67 up on an early A? I would be ok with slight mods needed. I have a 360 with spitfire headers and a modified trans crossmember for duals. The exhaust I have now is somewhat "butchered" and I want to try and keep it within that price range...

    8 3/4 rear-end swap into 1963 dart

    If it came out of the 66 and no mods were done to the 66 it will bolt right in. Of course you need all the hardware and shock plates too.

    thanks, I guess I'm being a little impatient also:) I do think the panels may be an issue though. Thanks again everyone.

    Weatherstrip.

    After closer inspection I think I have to trim the bottom of my door panels. I made them myself and may have cut them a little too long. Looks like they may be interfering with the door seal at the bottom. Two steps forward and three back. Will update once I trim them.

    Weatherstrip.

    Yeah, I ordered the same ones as you from rockauto. I never had this issue with the old ones, they were REALLY old, torn and flat though. They have been installed for a week now and I thought maybe they had to relax some but, they are still the same after a week. I will try the door adjustments...

    Weatherstrip.

    Darter6, I bought and installed the same item for my 63 and now the doors are extremely hard to close and lower door seam is bulged out. It gets harder to close even before the rear portion of the door is latched. Could the door alignment be holding it up? Did you have any issues with this?

    Ideas for grille insert?

    I tried that and I gave up trying to figure out how to mount it. It was a pain in the .......:) Just going to go with a thin aluminum piece with rounded edges to cover it up.

    Ideas for grille insert?

    I fabbed a new grill to replace my old one. I just need a emblem to mount in the center. Any ideas? Almost ready for summer. Pretty much finished up the interior, Got to make a front bumper, put some paint on it, clean, clean, clean and get it registered. Hasn't been on the road in 2yrs:(

    Craigslist add anyone know what headers these are?

    My concern would be the underhood heat. I do have a cold air intake from outside but, I bet it gets pretty hot under there. Just thought it was kinda cool to see something different and something I haven't seen done before. I'm sure they are better than the stock manifolds. Maybe Ill give him a...

    two yrs stuck in the garage

    Funny you ask about the wiper motor. I had to "masage" the fire wall. Broke the wiper mounts the first time. Had to get a new motor......did the same damn thing going to a 360 from a 318:violent1:

    two yrs stuck in the garage

    She hasn't seen light of day for 2ys:( Still need to fabricate a rear bumper and mounts and add some aftermarket reverse lights, fill in the front grill area and add some bumperettes. Throw some paint on her and drive her like a maniac:) At least the posi still works:)

    Wont start..like i have NO battery

    Just remember that if you start checking the ammeter to disconnect the battery because one side will still be hot. There are numerous conductive surfaces around the terminals that will make a nice portable welder if your not careful. Good luck with it.

    Old VS New... What do you think?

    Thanks for the positive feedback:) Backerboard was bought at Lowes. It is the same stuff that peg board is made of. Not perfect but I did it myself.

    Old VS New... What do you think?

    Here are pics of my old door panels and the new one's compliments of JoAnn Fabrics. I think I have about 70$ invested between paint and fabric. I bought the material and foam backing during Christmas with Coupons for 50% off.

    Thanks everyone. I guess I'll run it and see what happens. First I have to get the interior back in. I really didn't like the hose either. I've been looking for something a cleaner.

    Wet weather? What is that? I did protect them from the elements though. I am wondering more about the look of it.

    Did I screw this up?

    I finished up my 360 install a while back. I just finished up the cold air intake I made and I would like to know what you guys and gals think. I have two K&N filters tucked under the fenderwells in housings to protect them from rain and such. I do plan on filling in the front portion of grille...
