Just wanted to follow up with an update. The center has been glued for a week or two now, and I finally got back to the project. I got my top completely installed. I did the driver side first, sprayed glue from the seam to the drip rail, and half way down the c-pillar, once I got that all laid...

Update... I had a couple hours last night, so I re-started my vinyl top install. I laid the top back out, centered it on the roof, and folded the driver's half of it over to the passenger side. I lightly resprayed the existing glue and started in the middle, then smoothed it out from center to...

I guess my though was that the Rubberized undercoat would dampen the sound of rocks and stuff in the wheel wells better than the Raptor.

Good ideas, thanks. Edit. So I contacted DAP like Super-Cuda suggested (not sure why I didn't think about doing that, panic I guess) They said I can add another thin layer of adhesive on top to re-stick the surfaces together, even if it has been days. The "2 hour Open Time" is how long you...

I have just done this conversion (still in process), Dana67Dart has some good information in his post. I was going to move the headlight bucket, but ended up finding a couple 1969 Dart "parts" fenders for $50 each and removed the headlight bucket area and installed them in my 1973 Dart fenders...

The black is rubberized under coat. The heavy textured black areas are the original under coating. It was stuck really good, so I just cleaned it and sprayed the new over the old. The new turned out a lot smoother that the original, but I am ok with that. No body is going to be inspecting my...

I cleaned and polished the Swinger emblems, then masked the flower petals so I wouldn't get too much paint build up in the flower. Stuck the emblems on a cardboard box, then sprayed the whole things with black rattle can. Came back with Laquer thinner on a rag and carefully wiped off the...

The weather was nice yesterday so I decided to install my vinyl top on the Dart. I started spraying the glue, laid one half down and started working out the wrinkles, I was having some problems getting the wrinkles out on the back half of the roof. Then got a phone call and had to leave. Since I...

I used Color matched Raptor Liner on my Dart. I sprayed Epoxy on the bottom and then sprayed the Raptor the next day, which was within the recoat window of my epoxy primer. If yours is outside the recoat window, you may want to go over the primer with a scotch brite pad to give it a little...

Probably too late now, but this guy installed the vinyl top with the windows installed. "How To EPIC Vinyl Top Make And Install Auto Upholstery" On Youtube (I couldn't get the link to work, so you will have to search"

Me Too. Epoxy primer and then color matched Raptor liner Cuda Ragtop - What Ford Model did you get the spare tire from? Thanks

I reached out to about four different platers and they all quoted $1200-$1500 to re-chrome a rear bumper. Tri-city was $750-800. Still a bit out of my budget at this point in time.

Thanks, it's my first time doing body work, so I know it wont be perfect, but it doesn't need to be. Here is a better picture of the lower door. (I think this pic makes it look worse than it really is)

I am working on my 73 Dart Swinger, I have the passenger door pretty much aligned. Body lines line up good, it sits just a little high in the rear, but there are no guts in the door. My question is about the lower rear of the door. That lower rear corner of the door seems to curve in too much...

Thanks, for the input. The previous owner removed all the trim and emblems, I think I have the fender emblems.

I noticed that, but cannot change the title. Just for the record, there was a Dodge Dart Truck in 1961!

I am working on a 73 Dart Swinger. On the right side of the trunk lid I have the remains of a stick on DODGE emblem. On the left side I have two holes that had barrel nuts and what was left of the emblem studs in there. My question is, what emblem would have been on the left side of the deck...

I also have a 72 Scamp in storage. I went and took a quick look, it definately has different rocker modling than my 73 Dart. I couldn't find the molding, I think the previous owner removed it, but it uses a different style front clip that is secured on the fender with a nut on the backside. It...

Which inflatable booth did you get? Are you happy with it? There are a lot of differnt china brands out there.

My molding has a mounting screw in the front and rear. The molding snaps on like Cuda AL said. Here are measurement pictures.

Not on my Swinger:

These are the clips for the rocker trim on my 73 Dart Swinger.

I am leaning towards All Metal, but Advanced Auto Parts here in town has Evercoat Reinforced filler that has short strand reinforcing fibers. Just concerned about the thickness of the final material.

I am woking on the body work on my Dart, and the seam on the bottom left of the windshield was cracked, so I melted out the lead, and cleaned it up. What's the dest method to repair this seam? Fill it with all metal, or reinforced body filler, or weld a patch over it? Or do I have to lear to...

I measured both, they are the same, ~22”

Here is a picture of a 2-door and four door panels next to each other ( know bad pic, but only one I had on my phone). The marker light is in a different spot from the rear of the quarter, and the distance from the back of the wheel opening to the rear of the panel appears to be shorter on the...

I bought this full quarter from Wildcat and had it shipped to Ohio. Then I didn't use it. saving it for a future project I guess.

How many quarts did this take? I used color matched Raptor on the underside of my truck,

So how do you prevent overspray through all the body seams when you come back and paint the outside of the car? If you mask off the door jams, inside the doors/trunk/engine compartment, don't you gat a hard tape line?

I know, but this one I found also lists it for a Dart. E-Body Parts and Restoration (Dodge, Plymouth, Mopar Restoration) (themoparshop.com) Just looking for first hand knowledge.
