These look good, and are inexpensive. I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but these will go into the next car I build.

That same wheel (with a different grip color) was used on Camaro (as stated) but was also used on 68-74? maybe 75? Corvette as well as 68-72 Chevelle Super Sport.
Horn switch is available but in order for the horn to work, the tang on the back of the horn switch would need to make contact with...
the hardtop mirror itself appears to be the same as convertible, however the mounting base is totally different.
if you need a picture, i can take one for you.
sorry, i don't have an extra.

Next car I build will have these seats in it. I like the Old School look, and the price is right.

Also, if he mixes the paint a LITTLE on the thick side, open's the fan up, and keeps the gun 18" away from the dash, it will add to the suede look. I did my Swinger 340 car like this with the SEM Trim Black & it came out perfect.
Good Luck!
George
Oh, thats too bad. They had some really good prices.
Evil340 has a good idea. Maybe find a trophy place local to you and see if they'll do the parts.
George
I see that Mr G will do the chrome only, and you can detail the pieces yourself once you get them back. That saves a LOT of money. All 3 pieces for 69 Dart with deluxe dash is only $155 plus shipping.
When I restored my 69 Swinger 340 I paid over $400.00 for the dash rechrome, but that included...
I don't have any in my 69 Dart with buckets.....mainly because they're quite expensive, but at 5' 6" tall I sure can use a set! LOL
No problem using flat washers to space the seat up.
George
Great post, and to add if I may (how do ya like that wording?? :D ) make sure the back of the seat FRAME is not bent. If it isn't flat, the material will be too long to be installed tightly.
George
PS I think they look fine the way they are.
My next car (whatever it might be..... 55 Chevy, 63 Chevy II, 66 Belvedere...??) I plan to use these:

Can't beat the price, and they're cool as hell looking!

Removing the windshield glass is a very easy job.
On my gold 340 Dart, I reinstalled the original windshield so I could drive the car while the new glass was being shipped.
Once I had the new one, I removed the old one & installed the new one in 45 minutes.....alone.
George
I would use the stock am if it was my ride. Add an FM converter if you want, or hide a new am/fm under the seat, or even hanging under the dash. At least the dash will look restored to match the rest of the car.
George
Trimming the foam to make them fit is not unusual at all. Don't be afraid to trim it, but keep in mind you want it to be a rather tight fit when you're done or the covers will be baggy.
67 bucket seats are probably the easiest I've ever done because the back comes off revealing the frame. Ever...
The Home Depot sells plastic primer in spray cans. I bought a can for a project about a year ago but never used it for some reason. I don't remember why, though! LOL

I'm not sure what the back of the cluster looks like for 73, but for the 67-9 Darts, you would need to remove the wiring plugs at the back of the dash to feed the gauges, as well as the speedo cable. I wouldn't think there would be much difference between the 67/9 and the 73 except for...
Gotta have tunes bro.
Even if you only turn it on while you're parked, or wiping the car down, ya gotta have something. Don't go crazy with amps and all that stuff, just a basic am/fm cassette or CD.
George
It took my wife & I over an hour to get the damned thing in. I was able to remove the front windshield, and install the new one MYSELF in 30 minutes. Yes, I said alone. The back one with the rope & **** is a PITA!
Good Luck with your project.
George
Not absolutely necessary, but removing the 2 pieces of glass sure will make life easier.....until it's time to reinstall the rear window. What a PITA that is.
George
Just an idea for ya......
In the rear of my Dart (I know you don't have a package tray) I installed a set of 6X9's. For the front I simply wedged a set of 4X6's between the bottom of the front seat and the carpet. I hooked it all up to a stock Mopar am/fm/cassette radio from a 92 pickup. Sounds...
