Looking good, keep after it, a little at a time is the way of completing these projects. There are usually so many things planned, plus the unplanned, that it can become overwhelming if you don’t just plug away a bit at a time. The shield turned out great.

Wow, at this pace it will not be taking you too long.

In 2001 I passed on buying a stunning ready to show 1 owner 69 GTS T5 #’s white interior, well documented car :BangHead:. Asking price was only $8,500. Son was only 3 and wife was pregnant with daughter, so “couldn’t afford it” at the time. I will have a white interior car one day, just not...

Beautiful car, I totally understand the drive to make things perfect, in fact think many have at least at minimum the tendency to have things go from one thing to the next and the slippery slope/snowball effect takes over. Been around quite a few 69 Darts, but do not specifically recognize...

Great job, don’t know how I had previously missed your build thread. Thanks for sharing your journey and the detailed write-ups. I did notice something that I wanted to mention, that is that I am fairly certain your hinge retaining push nuts are reversed. The prongs should be pointing out so...

Cool project, looking forward to following your work. This is the best site, post here and you will make the FABO Gods and all us faithful followers happy :thumbsup:.

Wow just finished reading this thread, awesome story and workmanship. I know what you mean when it comes to the tail panel, definitely an area susceptible to damage. I have had many occasions where I have had to remind people to not push on it while jockeying my 72 around. This especially with...

Believe this is what you need for the carb/cable connection. Duster looks to be in nice shape, great to see your kids involved. Edelbrock Throttle Lever Adapters for Performer Carburetors 1481

Feel your pain, electrical systems is always one of the biggest challenges, Summit has always been great with returns in my experience. Keep at it, like you said, plenty of other things to keep you busy in the meantime.

That turned out real nice, if it runs 1/2 as good as it looks, it will be fun while you find/build that 360 you want.

Nothing in them pics would lead me to believe that engine is not at least a good core, or maybe better. I would not give up on it until I had it torn down and it given at least a full assessment. Now if you were hoping for a runner, and not considering even a basic overhaul, then a handy drop-in...

Saving as many original parts as possible is a good rout, wow those wipers turned out great, keep it up.

May not be possible at this time of year with the lack of sun/warmth outside, but if not, I usually use a heat gun at a distance on the backside to soften the carpet as I am working it, especially around the tunnel area and even more so for cars with 4 speed hump. Regarding the radio wiring, I...

Looking good 2 Darts, love the detailed write-ups. A huge milestone in the cars that I have done, is just about where you are approaching. Once you have cleaned up the floor and you drop the carpet in, it is amazing how much better and complete it looks. Of course by that point you will have...

Nice engine stand, good on you for going straight to the BB 4 speed set-up and avoiding having to redo things down the line.

Glad you are back at it, looking great.

Great looking car and nice progress. Project creep happens to all of us, expect more being you have the perfectionist gene, but don’t worry it’s a worthy cause that you will not regret having embarked on. I had never looked for or thought of looking for that tool which appears in first pic of...

Love the car and your write-up, especially the fender emblem topic. Glad to see how far along it is, don’t fret about speed of progress, many including myself have not done as well as you have, especially given the substantial project it started as.

Very nice, and I believe this is what it looked like before the new paint. What color is your interior going to be?

Nice score! Also sometimes found in rear seat back, bottom of front seats, and under carpet. Much rarer but they have even been found above the headliner and inside doors, likely errors by line workers on a Monday after a weekend of too much fun. Make sure to take pictures of it before...

Yes it was basically a Dart with a Valiant/Duster front clip on an abody platform, which sold from 1971+, called a "Scamp", sold by Plymouth.

And a Scamp was born;)

Nice Duster. Don't let that Ram go without considering pulling the engine and electronics for a potential FI Magnum swap into the Duster, especially if it is a 360.

Yep, taillight is reversed. Progress on car is looking great. Scoops will look nice.

Wow 32 lbs, how much money/work is spent shedding weight by way of other swaps/removals on our cars, that is one low buck and rewarding spring cleaning exercise. Car is looking awesome, keep it up, great inspiration for others.

Just amazing thanks, really looking forward to the pics and new resto thread for that sweet M code. That Dart Custom is too shabby either.

Wow, that is fantastic looking work, thanks for sharing. Totally up to you obviously, but would be neat to see a an example pic of one of your pieces before restoration and what it cost to get it to the restored condition displayed here.

I think that white Grant would work nice.

Have you considered dyeing it Red to contrast with the white dash and column, with a white leather sport stitch cover on the rim, just a thought.
