Mine was a spring special and came with it new. When restoring the car I figured I would see how I liked it without the tape. If I didn't like it it would be easy to add on later.

Can't tell you how the modern pros do it, but we made sure to put filler on roughed up bare metal. The old man is old school. He was painting and doing body work before he met my mother in 68. Did it off and on until the 90's.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to steal any thunder or compare grills. I was just trying to show that under the argent or black pain on the thick headlight surround is chrome plating. I was surprised to find that on my 68, happily. In your first pics the passenger side one is silver, driver is black.

I am not sure what the 69 grill is like, but the large argent colored surrounds around the headlights were chrome under argent on my 68 grills.

I just went through this. As others have stated, many body shops won't paint someone else's work. I just went through this myself. My father was a body man until about 25 yrs ago. He still did it on the side for a while but has isocyanate poisoning now. The paint on the car was in decent...

My father and I did the body work. I have never painted, and he can't paint anymore. We let the painter do final sand. It is looking amazing.

We had a down turn in the weather and the painter is waiting for it to warm back into the teens, up from -28. It was so cold he couldn't get his shop above 68. Sorry. I'm disappointed but want it done right.

Thanks. When you say the color combo it makes you cringe a little, but when you see it. Well, for me at least. I think the green will make the two main colors pop.

Well, Monday is THE big day. My 68 is getting paint. Colors will be Plum Crazy, Opal Gray, and Sublime Green. The purple will be from body line down, gray up top, and the green is a stripe between the two starting at 1/4" up front to 3/4" at the rear. There will be 1/16" black pin around...

Metallics are more difficult. One painter looked at our ride and turned down the work because his hands are not steady enough anymore to evenly apply metallic paint.

I had a couple estimates done. My father and I did all the body and metal work, would have the car ready for paint. Both shops insisted on their own final block sanding. They figured 60hrs labor at $72 per plus materials put it at 7500 for both. We purchased the paint ourselves for 1900...

Oops, late to the party. Already suggersted What about one of them foreign jobbers. The one that looks like a 69 dart, but is a 70s South American charger

Cool man! The guy who posted about needing to be surgically clean does have a point. However, it does not mean your paint job will be crap. My father ran a body shop out of our garage when I was growing up and did more paint jobs than I can count. Never wore a paint suit, never had a...

Lighter paper and bulldog adhesion promoter?

That does look sharp!

I don't think they look too bad. No worse than the real ones. It's your car, do it how you like it!!

1974 dodge color code B5 is called Lucerne Blue.

Ok, I think what I am finding out here is this. 67 and early 68 notches have rear windows and regulators for the window posted above. Later 68, at least those built on 6/13/68 or later,and 69 have this style... My dilemma is my car must have come with the glass and assemblies like that in...

Hey thanks. My cuda was built on June 13, 1968. According to the interchange manual on google books, the 68 and 69 quarter glass is interchangeable. Yet on eBay the replacement glass for 68-69 has the bolt holes like their window assembly on the drivers side of my car. Is it possible some 68...

This is the same glass I have in my car. The driver side is different. The glass on that Sid bolts to the lower assembly. The shape is right and rolls up perfectly to within 3" of the frame, then the back end virtually stops coming up, the front continues then the lower roller track assembly...

Can you post a picture of a correct 68 quarter glass assembly? I'm not sure which is the correct one. The one with bolt in glass like driver side or the pressed in that we are having so much trouble with. It must have come from a parts yard somewhere as someone in the past marked it as rear...

Well I searched flea bag and found some hits for quarter glass. The 68-69 glass on there has holes for bolts like on the driver side.

The numbers I could find in the metal assembly on the side we are having problems with... 2604358 1A 2664 11008 On the drivers side the numbers were just below glass in metal frame... 28040 445 LH 963 5 CAV 1

when I purchased this 68 notchback project the passenger side quarter glass did not work. My father took it apart when I was at work and found a missing roller path and a broken roller assembly. I tracked down those pieces and today we went to put it back in. everything went together but when...

Getting a 8x10 spay panel in k3.

K3 bittersweet metallic.

This is possible too. You have to prep and kill the rust or it will come back yo bite you. Mine was rusted from inside out, but much lower. Water got in the trunk and sat in 40yrs of dust/dirt accumulation in the narrow confines between the panels and did its thing. Other problem areas i had...
