The Grenada and Sunbird both went airborne, as did my moms Capri. The buddy that hit me with the nickname had the record with his moms Datsun 310 though.

I'll continue to let someone else provide more input for now, after work I need to pack & get truck ready, we are driving to Florida right after work tomorrow. @1968 Dart 270 At the time I had a 1977 Granada. Decent working kid high school car, 2 door, Bucket seats, 4 speed, Probably good...

Me & a buddy skipped school on a snowy day and we were bombing around in my car. We were in the next town over and I came around a corner in second and started a good sideways slide -steering into it and realized we were in a school zone. The crossing guard came over and started yelling and told...

It also looks like mine is installed incorrectly. It looks like theres a stud on the lower rail of the dash frame, and there might be a nut on the forward side of that. Ima gonna need to look into that

On the drivers side, bottom rear of the radio, mine has a bracket.

I have a 68, and I want to do something, but not sure what yet. Here to watch, but don't know where the popcorn bucket is.

You might have better, more uniform light output by painting the inside of the housing with flat white rather than silver.

Itll take me a bit, but ill get um. I don’t have the package tray installed yet, and years ago (late 80s) I had taken the seatbelts out. Through the years, never seeing them at car shows, I came to realize I had a rare option or special order item.

I have them in my 68 Dart. I new it was pretty rare, don’t remember seeing rear seat shoulder belts in anything well into the 90s

Is There a bit of package tray on the sides where a shoulder harness like the one mbaird pictured above could be mounted? I had a Dart Sport with the fold down seat, but I can't remember If it had provisions. That was 34 ish years ago

It’s actually black, between the sunlight & pollen, it looks brown in the photo. Me & a buddy had a snow day & were out bombing around & ended up in the next town over & their school wasn’t canceled. I came around a corner sideways hitting 3rd and there was a school crossing up ahead. When I...

No, sorry, not a spare You should post an ad in the parts wanted page. Good luck with your project, I’m getting close with mine, but something else always seems to divert my attention.

Found it!

Not sure about the ashtray because it DOES finish kind of flush to the pad I don’t believe the bezel trim piece under the column is any different though, unfortunately, I don’t know where it is right now.

Going back to the Lo/Hi back issue. If you want the low back, but with power, you might scour classic Mercedes forums or some such place. cars like that are about all I can think of that would be low back and power. I went with the ProCar seats. So far fit & finish seem fine, but actual...

Actually got a reply from Year One today. They say no response from the manufacturer, but he is going to try to talk to his management about getting a replacement. Update to follow

I purchased the 3 point seatbelt conversion set for my 68, wanting some semblance of safety, (not dry rotted and with proper shoulder restraint) I sent the following to Year One. (Seatbelt Solutions of Jupiter Fl. is the manufacturer) With YearOne saying they get no response from SS, I am now...

I can understand the frustration you are going through sometimes with 50 year old devices you need to lubricate them and work them or take them apart and clean and lubricate them some devices are just old and worn out and might need replacement items such as seatbelts also might look OK but you...

Theres also a HUGE difference between a stereo head unit with 50X4 peak power at 1kHz tested with one channel driven, vs an amp with 50 w continuous at 20-20K with all channels driven. Thats like towing a trailer (speaker load) and comparing a 4 cyl engine (amplifier) that makes 350 hp (watts)...

1, You are correct, Alpines don't really emphasize bass, they generally are best paired with a subwoofer for more accurate sound. 2, As with any speaker, it is best to have the surface they are mounted to sealed from front to back so the sound wave from the back doesn't cancel out the sound wave...

There is a little bit of a recess in the floor on the inside mounting points "I believe" there was a steel plate above & below the sheet metal to sandwich where the bolt went through. I think one wasn't used on the outside bolts because the bracket under the floor was larger and went all the way...

Oh, you do things the same as me, I gots me lotsa spare “parts” Winter!? I’ve heard you don’t even have weather

Take the pro car seats apart, take the high backs apart, look at how the frame is built and modify the Pro car frames so the original cushions and covers will fit. Yeah, it’s probably a lot of cutting and welding, not a small task, probably a good winter project. EDIT: I just looked and noticed...

My picture was a zoom in for better view, 2 bolts per window, 2 washers per bolt, 2 sides per car, probably will drop 1 down in the gap between the rocker & outer panel to join my 7/16 combination wrench, so I could very well use more than the 8 provided.

Interesting, maybe different years-different applications. Mines a 68, I have round washer things.

For either side of the bolts that hold the glass to the aluminum.

I peeled mine apart and the welds look pretty good. I had heard pretty good recommendations for them previously, & certainly didn’t intend to dissuade anyone from buying them. I just wanted to look before going to the hassle of installing to then find I need to work on them. They look pretty...

I have those same seats, not installed yet, bought them from someone that changed plans, but my project has dragged on longer than planned. Think I’ll pull the covers before I bother putting them in.

Does anyone know or have the ability to measure the length of the 2 wire retainers that hold the last (rear) headliner bow? 1968 Dart 2dr Hardtop. I can’t seem to find mine & while I haven’t minded shelling out for most things, $15 + S&H seems a bit much.

Nice job. I still think I would use something much larger than a washer down below. Even a 4” blank electric box cover. The chances of “needing “ it might be slim, but...
