It would look good with a black hood too. My brother had a red 69 back in the early 70's with black vinyl top & bee stripe and he used a black hood. I painted the hood on my car black when I first put it together and it looked good, but I quickly grew tired of it and painted it to match the car...

That is one badass Dart! Excellent work! What's in it?? Is it a 4 speed? That's cool as hell, and old school.....just how I like them! George

Flat head, Phillips screw with a machine thread. Maybe 3/8 inch long, approximately 8-32 thread. Hope this helps. George

Rear windshield is installed differently from front windshield. In the rear, you install the gasket onto the glass, then install that assembly onto the car. The front windshield is the opposite -- you install the gasket onto the car, then install the glass into the gasket. George

Spoiler on the Dart looks cool, but WTF happened to that Demon?? Holy Cow! George

This is the only pic I have that shows the pin locations. Hope this helps. George

The parts are aluminum not plastic. Any updates on the refinish?? George

Definately do it! I would use the stock matte black stripe personally so it doesn't get lost on the black paint across the trunk. If I had the money I'd have a stripe on my 69 already. Nice car. George

Oh...I dunno....maybe Paint Remover??

Use CLR and a ScotchBrite pad on that flash rust. It'll come right off. Rinse it, dry it, and prime it. George

Thats a 64 Chevy Impala. Thats actually a cool picture! LOL George

I called my local Safelite and they told me the "car is too old" and they can't get a windshield for it. Hmmmmmmm. So someone here on FABO posted a link to this place, and not only do they have the glass, but you can either pick it up & install it yourself, or have them install it for you. Just...

Those hold the tail light buckets to the body I think. Is this a 68-9 Dart? George

Kim, try WD40 buddy. Won't harm the base paint. Good Luck!! George

Here is how I would have a Duster grill.............. http://public.fotki.com/scamp/mopar_muscle_cars/louhs1970duster440.html Thats cool looking. I don't know if it's stock or not, but I love it. I'm with an earlier poster; I'm not a fan of the sharktooth grill either. LOL George

What does the car run now?

6 pack scoop on my Dart is 2-3/4" from the back of the hood. It's a US Bodysource 6PAK fiberglass hood. Like has been said, they never came from the factory on an A Body, so put it where it fits your needs. George

I've been using self etching primer for YEARS and never had a problem. Don't let the "sky is falling" guys make you nervous. Get the car to bare metal, clean it, and shoot the primer on. Good Luck. George

69 Dart 440.

If it leaks water, you can add some dum-dum to keep the water out. Mine didn't leak. George

My last 69 Dart was very similar to yours. I guess the factory didn't keep close tolerances in this area. Just but it back together and drive it. George

Last set I got from eBay. Usually a whole bunch for sale on there. Be aware that the new reproduction bolts are slightly larger in the head than the originals, and the flat washers are bigger diameter too. I went through HELL to find a complete set of real ones when I restored my 69 Swinger 340...

Yes, sorry for the typo. I fixed it. George

3/8-16, grade 5, about 1-1/4" long, and factory bolts had an integral lock washer. Grade 5 really isn't necessary, but thats what I'd use. Geo

You can try baby oil. If you drive the car in the rain it will probably make a mess on the windshield, but if it's only a good weather car, give it a shot. George

You guys are right. I misspoke when I said "A Bodies". My experience is with Darts. The Dart front gasket is the self locking type, and the rear is not, hence the 2 different install methods. Sorry bout that! George

Thats how you install the windshield in an A body, just like GMachine said. No rope needed. The rear window has a different install technique due to the different style of gasket, and you do use the rope technique to install that one. George

I looked for a repro set when I was doing my 69 Swinger, and that was the best price I could find for them. I ended up using real ones. Remember, real stuff always fits better than reproduction. Good Luck OC. George

Snake, I had a set on my gold 69 Swinger 340 and LOVED them. They were perfect in every way possible. I wish I had the money for another set for this car, but, no funds. Hey! If Cindy is feeling generous............. :D George

Second pic is the primary E Brake cable guide. It welds to the bottom of the floor pan roughly under the driver's seat. Geo
