Can't go by my car. All front end sheet metal was replaced in 1970. The hood on ours is a '69 as pointed out by HemiSSDart when he stopped by the house several weeks ago. The letters were better than yours, but still not quite straight. My fenders are worse. We'll be addressing this when we do...

No. I installed the dash in my old Dart by myself with the reversed hardware as the windshield was in and I wasn't going to remove it. We may have used two people when that dash went into my son's Dart as he was older by that time.

Very simple. The first time I put a Barracuda dash in a Dart the windshield was in and I didn't want to remove it.

I have used my HF stripper for several hours, mostly on metal tubing (2, 3.5, and 4 inch square) for my gate project. One pass is about all it took. The steel got a little rusty between purchase and use. I also used it to strip some body filler off the Barracuda. I will be using it on the GTS...

I'm willing to bet (a small amount) that the Eastwood and HF tools come out of the same plant on the same assembly line. Drums are around $15 at HF. Drum life depends on what you are stripping.

I've got the HF one. Works well, but also has its own limitations. I like a combination of the drum sander, DA, and media blasting. Then again, I have a good compressor.

Arm burner trim, AKA belt trim.

My old '67 fastback was like that on the right side, but it was due to incredibly poor body work. The right quarter had been damaged in an accident and then a monkey with a hammer stretched things farther. Lots of mud on the quarter which now did not match the near perfect door. So, mud the...

I also bought the HF unit. I haven't used it on a car yet, but it sure cleaned up some metal I had for a new gate. It looks to be identical to the Eastwood surfacer and is probably manufactured by the same company.

As I recall those are the adjustment. I did this on my old '67 fastback, but that was 25 years ago. I might be able to see on my son's fastback that is sitting in my side yard.

Sounds like the body shop/resto shop just slapped them on. I've been involved in the swap of quarters, roof, dutchman on a '73 (or '74) Challenger. We had to modify some parts to make them fit. Was also involved in putting lower quarter patch panels on my Barracuda along with trunk extensions...

Yup, no A-body fender needs spot welds cut to remove. Not sure any Mopar of any year ever did...

See if you can have it dipped. That's the only way to get to the rust in the crevices.

No, there should be two bolts.

Take a look at that line just above the rear wheel. That is the biggest reason I never got the horizontal stripe back on the car after this paint job (never went back for a whole host of reasons, but that's a completely different story). They spent at least 32 hours blocking the car to have this...

I've had mine out of the GTS a few times over the years, but it's been a while. As I recall I just hand tightened them. You might want to take a wrench and go just a little tighter, but not much.

Right here and will ship to you. I've used their paint and it seems ok. It's not best quality, but it will work. I have their midnight blue for my Barracuda convertible. Also, at one time (not sure how it is today) you could still get Imron and Centari from boat dealers here in California...

Also, Jim and I have been friends about 40 years. I've got the pic to prove it...Yup. he's in this pic.

Yeah, but he doesn't have a 1967 383 Formula S fender or entire car...

I scored some emblems that I had forgot even existed (440 four barrel) and now need a template for the 383 four barrel emblems (I am assuming that the studs are in the same location) if anybody could help out. Thanks.

Yes, you have to cut the u-nuts, too. This is with the windshield still installed.

Yes, it is worth it. You never know when you may have to take it back apart.

I bought a Quincy 5hp/60 gal/4 cyl./2-stage two years ago. Total with tax was about $1,400. Made in USA, too. 15.7CFM at 90psi. I also use my old tank (60 gal) as an auxiliary tank. I never run out of air these days.

I've got a few safety latches here in Fresno, but most of my parts are stuffed into corners and hard to find, but I'll be out there later today. I can compare to my Barracuda. I think most of mine are from Darts.

Upper door frame is actually all of the visible metal on the door on the inside...

Yup. pretty classy...believe it or not, somebody did this to a 1968 GTS convertible...

I have rolled the leading edge of the door up a little...

Yup, normal.

Did that with the pad for the '68 GTS back in the 1980s. It was $95 and the repair was terrible. Foam pulled too hard in the middle of the pad so it's not straight. I ran it because it was what we had, but I've got a perfect original in the garage (probably won't be perfect the first time the...

Probably not a metal frame like they are supposed to have. I've heard that some are plastic frames.
