521 Restorations sells AMD Products

I basically rebuilt a Dart using AMD sheet metal and had very good luck with the fit.

Thank you both for replying. I had forgotten that I ordered some different sizes from Laysons. They were long so I cut them down to the proper length.

I'm looking for the plastic pieces that headlight bezel screws go into. Has anyone found these for a 68 dart?

Save yourself some head aches and use AMD sheet metal.

I'm replacing the driver's side quarter panel on a 68 dart. There is a little L shaped piece that goes in the bottom corner of the back glass . My question is does it go on top or underneath the quarter? I've tried it both ways. Thanks Jeff

Did you guys preload your struts? What I mean is what height did you Install the lower mounts for the struts?

What Dust Um All said. Same here.

I put a right side mirror on my dart. Like someone said before the driver can't see anything out of it. Where you have to mount it, it interferes with the wing window.

Any of you ever stripped the paint off with a straight edge razor blade? Just get the blade under it and start stripping it off. However I would sure like to try one of those Eastwood machines.

Thanks for the info. They look good and I have already ordered them.

Would you mind posting a picture and the part number for the nylon parts you found.

I talked to my body guy about the very same thing. He has a medium sized shop and lots of certifications for himself and the entire staff. He suggested to still put some small welds along the length of the panel. He has been in the biz for 30 years.

I bought a new rear bumper for my 68 dart. Fit was excellent. There is nothing wrong with it and looks great.

When I replaced the floor pans I didn't put any back in. Instead I put the wiring in braided style of wire covering.

Simple if the fenders are off. Other wise you need to remove the inner fenders to gain access. They are on the back side of the fender. Most likely the panel will be covered with undercoating. Use a bar to reach back there and pry the hinges off the pins. When you put the lock washers back on...

Should be the same.

Looks great and again helps a lot. When working on these cars you can never have too many clamps.

Another vote for California Car Covers.

Hemiorangeswinger. Yes that helps a bunch. I wondered where to cut at on the sides of the cowl. Did you run a brace between the two sides to keep them square? Thanks Jeff

I have a parts car that the cowl is in great shape.

Working on my 68 dart redoing some really bad repairs, I'm sure it was done to the best of someone's ability but know we have replacement sheet metal. I knew I had a little rust on the bottom of the cowl but didn't realise it was this bad. Well of course I did use a small hammer to see how...

I figured it out and got it installed today.

That thread you posted draggin is great. That guy is talented. I have a picture to show the bracket I'm talking about. Not sure why it is turned wrong.

I am working on my 68 dart installing a full passenger side quarter panel from AMD. Every thing is cut away all the surfaces have treated with Eastwood rust converter. What the problem is that there is a bracket that holds the curved part of the quarter in the very corner. The panel has to go...

Hole Spacing, From the front edge of the quarter panel. (door opening) rear ward first hole 1 1/8" next 3 3/8" next 11" last one 18 3/8'. The holes in the door from the rear forward first hole 2 1/8" next 7 3/4" next 14 1/8" next 20 1/2" next 27 3/8" next 36 5/8" last one 40 5/8"

I hope the pictures help. The holes are 13/64's in diameter. I don't think placement is to important as long as the ends are secured. I wish I knew where get the clips.

I took some pictures today and will post them when I go home.

I have seen brackets for the emergency brake cable but not the speedo cable.

Eastwood sells a product for rust proofing inside frame rails and such. It comes with an extension hose and the nozzle fans it out 360 degrees. You would want to tape any places you don't want it coming thru. If your careful it might be what your looking for.
