    1967 Dart Concept Parts

    Yeah I’m not really even a born Dodge guy...shhh...But am enjoying the company. I knew the piece I was making was for a small target. Really, though, I didn’t have parts I wanted, and what I found, I wasn’t happy using. So I made my own. If down the line someone wants to put new factory covers...

    1967 Dart Concept Parts

    I very much agree. I figured I’d spend the time to make good quality parts that weren’t half a century old. Cheers!

    1967 Dart Concept Parts

    I have located some pictures of the CNC work. I won’t be showing the actual work being done. This is how the part looks out of the CNC process. You can see the machine marks. The pieces come out really well. They are a bit longer and more pointed at the bottom. Though not quite perfect, I...

    1967 Dart Concept Parts

    OCD is wild. Haha. Marketing comes with its own challenges (many actually). To go from an idea to mass production to sell on the open market is not only time consuming, but expensive. One reason I posted here was that I have a captive audience, whom all have their hands and ideas in the...

    1967 Dart Concept Parts

    The 3d print was originally just to make sure the design was correct in shape and would be accurate enough to use on the seats. The chrome was an after thought as bling seems to draw areention to its self. You are correct about the sandpaper. On the metal I recreated the brushed effect pretty...

    1967 Dart Concept Parts

    Hey hemidart67....I’ll start with the pics I have on hand. This is the render obviously of the front of the medallion. Fusion 360 is a great program to use. Coming from CAD, this a true 3d graphic model software. This shows the back. The pegs were designed into the piece at the same...

    1967 Dart Concept Parts

    I’ve been working on my interior of my 1967 Dart. I have finished the carpet and the seat bottoms. The seat covers are Legendary, and have the correct upper covers for the emblems to go into. That, is where I’ve had some issues. I haven’t been able to find medallions online that were nice...

    Cluster Housing Refurb

    In reference to the Spectrachrome that was mentioned earlier.... I had Creations N’ Chrome in Oregon 661-373-2727 put some on a few 3d printed prototype parts for me. The chrome is amazing, and the service was outstanding. If you can prep and have the parts in primer when you send them, it...

    Anyone used 3-D Printing to reproduce parts?

    I’m working on a couple parts from Shapeways. I sent a designer the original part to measure and he reproduced it. I have the .STL file to make more if needed or wanted. The parts should be here next week and I’ll upload what I get. I did very high detailed plastic for a part that cast and...

    1967 Dart Gauge Insert

    So, I got the glove box door completed today and that finishes up the material work. Being that I've never done this type of work, I'm extremely happy with how it turned out. I still have some gluing to do and painting the lower portion of the dash. I'm also thinking of making a trim piece to go...

    1967 Dart Gauge Insert

    Thanks!! A little bit of patience and a little bit of forethought has made the project a blast to do. I've never done any interior work before. I enjoy this hobby because I have the freedom to think outside the box, and try new things instead of paying someone to do them. Do they turn out...

    1967 Dart Gauge Insert

    Little update. I've been busy with work and life, but have fit some time in to work on my dash. I've welded studs to the back side of the metal insert to allow for hidden mounting locations. I didn't want to have screw heads on the outside. I finally purchased the VintageAir control unit to be...

    1967 Dart Gauge Insert

    Got a little more progress done on the dash. I was able to form the glove box door sheetmetal. I still need to do some trimming and have to decide on mounting locations. Still saving up for the VintageAir controller. Won't be able to finish with leather until I cut the hole for the A/C. So...

    1967 Dart Gauge Insert

    Ok, I have photos in Photobucket and all the pictures are too big for this site. Does anyone have a quick way to resize the photos? Back to garage for a while to work out this stress in a relaxing manner, (fabrication is my zen). Haha. Cheers!

    1967 Dart Gauge Insert

    All of this is 18 gauge sheetmetal, cut with an air saw and a die grinder. All pieces are flat as I don't have an English Wheel etc. Everything is welded mostly from behind. Regarding pictures, I'm a little lazy to start up the computer when the phone is so convenient. It's a little difficult to...

    1967 Dart Gauge Insert

    Thanks BrianT for the picture help. I've loaded most of the pictures to a site. In the mean time, I worked all morning and most of the afternoon on wire management. I'm not the fastest, but happy how it has turned out so far. I installed terminal ends on all the wires connecting the gauges so if...

    1967 Dart Gauge Insert

    Got my gauges delivered, and then worked the day to cut holes and fitting the panel into the dash. If someone could please tell me how to post multiple pictures in a post I'd go from the beginning and explain what I've done. For now here is the insert and gauges installed. The gauges are not...
