    paint combo

    or have a pic of your car photoshopped with the colors you want put on so you can see if you like it.But of course,the light color always goes on first,then the dark color second.I personally like the light colors on top,because they are cooler.If your bothering having the car painted,or...

    Dent in body line.

    I am a professional paint and body technician.If that were my car,that looks as though it has just been painted,i would call the local paintless dent repair company.If you try to repair that dent yourself,and break the paint,then the only way to do it really correctly is to repaint the quarter...

    any flat black,pro touring darts?

    I think it would be cool to mix a little old school,with some new school.Flat black with nice body work,and some all chrome,or chrome with black lip rims,in 17s or 18s.Anybody on here have a car like that yet?

    PG Classic Hood Scoop

    yes,i have mine cut out,but unless you want to cut into the underhood frame considerably,youll have to run a 10,or 12 in aircleaner,like the mopar cast unit.There is room for a 14 inch hole,but a 14 inch aircleaner will not fit a 14 inch hole,lol.If the engine were centered you could cut the...

    Flip top conversion

    what does it take to make one of these functional on a dart?I imagine the indentation of the baracuda quater is not avalible alone?I like the way yours is done,but i threw away my original filler neck,and gas cap,because i wanted the whole set up from a baracuda for the 71 dart,lol

    Front Grill

    what kind/year grille?I can do the painting for ya,but if it is anodized aluminum grille,all i can do to the non painted areas is to sand the anodizing off,and polish it.You would have to polish the bare aluminum often if the car lives outside all the time,and about once every 2 or 3 months if...

    Mini tubbing, springs and backspacing

    dang!Once you mini tub an abody,sure makes 10 inch rims and 295s look small!I never realized it.I minutubbed a 70 340 dart,and fit 15/9.5 centerlines under the rear,with 7 inch backspace,29/12.50/15 micheythompson et streets.It was a tight fit,but a fairly cheap adjustable panhardbar kept the...

    74 to 72

    www.breakstuffracing.com this guy does awsome work.Ive tried to email him to ask if he is a memeber here,but never gotten a reply.He turned a 76? dart slant six into a 70 340 clone,kind of,and it is awsome imo.It looked awsome as a slant six car once he got it painted and interior done.

    How long?

    if it is a good singlestage paint,a urethane,it should definitly be dry enough by today.Sand it with 2000 grit,wet of course,and buff away.I hope its not a metallic color or it will look motley after you sand and buff it.I only use single stage on straightcolors,non metallics.

    Worst bodyshop ever

    All the crap you get for them isnt even close to begin with,and you have to fit it to a car that has smaller panel gaps than our beloved mopars.Thats why the guy dented the bottom of the nissan door,he had to jack it up to get the side skirts to fit under the door when closed.2 objects cant take...

    is this PPG paint?

    in short,no.I have looked at this companies paint myself,preferably the urethane and base clear.It would prob be ok to color a car out before putting some good stuff on top,if you are using a high dollar color like hemi orange or something,but i wouldnt use it for a top coat.Now the house of...
