    Paint Shortage

    Why not go with QQ1 Electric Blue Metallic? It would be a 1968 only color and I like it better than B5.

    Passenger side mirror location for 67 Barracuda

    My 68 fastback has the factory installed passenger side mirror. It's pretty useless. Guessing it was just intended to be an appearance option.

    barracuda grill stripping

    I tried oven cleaner and I tried using a buffing wheel and polishing compound for the side trim for my 67 Coronet 500. Finally ordered the Annodize remover from Blu Lightning. The annodize remover worked where everything else I tried either didn't work at all or would have taken forever. It was...

    1968 Side Markers and Crease Line

    Darts and Chargers had the crease lines. All 68 Plymouths and C-body Dodges did not. Don't know about the 68 Coronets though.

    68 Dart GTS trim questions

    Thanks. If that were the only piece missing, I would just go ahead and place the order. But theres a total of four pieces on the passenger side that are missing. Any chance you know where to find the plastic reproduction center grill piece (or a good used one)? Also looking for the rocker trim...

    68 Dart GTS trim questions

    I originally posted this in the wrong section. Sorry for the duplicate post.) Just bought a 68 Dart GTS and I have a couple trim questions. GTS emblems for fenders, hood and trunk. I have noticed that Laysons and Year One have various 68 GTS emblems in chrome with black background and chrome...

    1969 Accent Stripes - Where can I find them?

    Accent stripes were painted on by the factory. You can get some pin striping tape at an auto parts store if you don't want to hire a pin stripe painter. But, using tape stripes they may not be the exact width and you will be limited to the basic colors available. If you hire someone to do the...

    converting a 2 door hardtop door into a 2 door sedan door

    What you would end up with is your original sedan door with just the outer skin of the hardtop door on it. The entire inner door frame would be different as the sedan window frame is welded onto the lower door frame. Personally, I would keep searching for a 2 door sedan door. The Valiant and...

    stripe

    Holmes is right. There was no "GT Swinger". Besides the stripes there were other appearance differences between the Swinger and the GTS (or GT Sport). The GTS was the top of the line model with the upgraded interior shared with the GT. The Swinger had the interior shared with the base model...

    Curiousity Question?

    Chrysler acquired the Rootes Group (Sunbeam, Hillman, Humber) in 1966. After that, all Rootes Group vehicles had the Pentastar on the lower right front fender. And yes, that even includes the Sunbeam Tiger with the Ford 260/289 engine under the hood. The Tiger was discontinued after the 1967...

    1969 Dart Grill Restoration

    You didn't mention if the exposed unpainted parts of the anodized aluminum grille had polished up nicely or if the anodizing had turned it milky white. If the anodizing has gone bad and needs to be stripped off of the unpainted grille, Blue Lightning makes an anodize remover that I found to be...

    vinyl top bumble strip yes or no

    Personally, I like the vinyl top. As for the stripe, to me the bumble bee stripe says "Dodge", but you've got a Plymouth Scamp. It would look good with the stripe, but I think if I wanted a stripe, I might instead look at adapting factory looking stripes that were used on similar A-bodies in...
