Thanks Jeff!

Thanks Demon, I got the hood from Unlimited Products. I am happy with it, but the quality could have been a little better. You could look at US Car Body or VFN.

Might try these guys... http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/Default.asp

adriver, yeah I can imagine on a Duster. Don't know where you draw the line. I guess once you get it down to metal and see what you are up against. That's when I made the decision. Longest board I used was a 30" flexible. I also used a long 4' straight edge and a 12" straight edge to see...

Thanks barbee, I agree with you on the primer. Should have done the primer and then on to the filler. Oh Well! Lot of folks said change the color, but before I built the engine I had sand blasted the whole engine bay and painted it the Gold Poly. I am very please with the Gold and Black...

Thanks JD, the skills come from the mistakes.....and I have racked them up, believe me.

Thanks Rod, I don't have a step by step. I work about 70 to 80 hours a week so hard to do things that I like. I probably did not do the body work like a pro, because I am not. Only painted about 10 cars in my life. I started to do the Dart because it looked like a circus mirror down the...

Thanks, that is the reason I put pictures up of what I have done.....gives other people the inspiration to go and do there own. I know it sure helped looking at all the great rides other have on this board.

Thanks guys......yeah there are times when you would rather taking a beating than go out to the garage and sand, sand, sand. Scared the crap out of me when I started to shoot the color. I am much better at mechanical too, but I did not want to drop 10 to 15K and not have the opportunity to say...

Thanks....I probably would have gotten some trophy, but the trunk and interior need some work. ........little at a time.

Thought I would share. Finished this September. Was no rust at all on the car, but had been thru parking lot wars for years. I knew I could not get the RH quarter straight, so I chopped it out. All work by myself....just like the rest of the car. Hundreds of hours of block sanding. Original...

Well right in the middle of a repaint.....uhggg! Can only spend about 15 hours a week. This thing was so wavy and dings I was embarrassed to show it. RH new quarter all welded in. Block sanding everything, over and over. Hopefully by the fall I will have the paint on it....and yes I am...

I too am getting ready to do this on my 71 Dart, thing is full of bondo.......:happy1:

Getting ready to do a paint job on the Dart. Doesn't look that bad in the picture, but it is pretty wavy and has a ton of dings and bumps. Color is going to be the same 1971 Gold Poly. Question....on the hood, your opinions. (besides scrap the cowl hood...LOL) Flat Black Gloss Black Same...

Adam, I agree. One consolation is that the car lived in Fresno CA all its life. There is not a spec of rust under it. So I am lucky. It just looks like it may have been in too many shopping cart wars over its life. No bubbles or anomalies in the lowers. We'll see when I start putting the...

In about 2 months, I am going to repaint my 71 Dart with the same Poly Gold. When I purchased, I thought the paint was original as I only saw pictures and it was 2000 miles away, stupid me for not asking! Once I picked it up, it was a repaint of the original color and is as wavy as the sea. I am...

from the original to the current (pics a little out of order)......still working on gettting things neat and tidy. 318 to 408.

Can some of you take a stab at what my 71 Dart Swinger will weigh when complete. Thanks!! 408 motor Aluminum heads and intake 904 trans manual steering box no AC no backseat only carpet no padding lightweight glass buckets glass hood with scoop no roll bar yet Billet Specialties Light wheels...
