    What goes here?

    1973 Dart Sport. One of the front fenders must have been replaced, because the left side has these two holes right behind the bumper and the right side doesn't. I assume some sort of inner bumper cover went in there. Does anyone know for sure and/or have a pic of it? I'm considering pulling the...

    Taillight bezels, chrome or black? Anyone have some?

    The paint on my taillight bezels was chipping off, so I pulled them and cleaned the first one to prep it for paint. It looked so good in chrome, I may leave them that way. Either way, there is some minor pitting going on and I would like to get good clean ones if they don't break the bank. First...

    What is supposed to go here?

    I was cleaning my trunk and installing new trunk seals and I see these two holes at the edge of the trunk. It is the same in both sides. Two holes on each edge, and nothing in the four feet between the inner holes. What is supposed to go there? Am I missing some trim or bumper stops?

    Headlight bezels + steel wool = CHROME!

    I saw a pic of a car somewhere that had a blacked out grill and all the normal chrome trim around the grill along with chrome headlight bezels. I have a perfect grill I had bought and I have several pairs of headlight bezels, so I thought I would try cleaning them up. I spent about an hour on...

    Hotchkis hood pins installed

    I wanted these for so long. I finally bit the bullet and ordered them. I was almost done when I realized I was missing one stainless steel bolt and nut. I went into town to find one and they didn't have stainless but had black. I bought all new black bolts and I like the way they pick up on the...

    Finally ordered my Hotchkis Hood pins. Awesome!

    I have wanted these for a long time, but had a hard time justifying the expense. After seeing these, no other pins were ever going to make me happy, so I sold a few parts and ordered them today. Can't wait!

    Making amber turn signal lenses

    Since I can't find the proper turn signal lenses for my Dart, I bought a set of Mexican repops. They suck. They don't look good, don't seal, and the color os wrong. My brother just bought a Dart and the PO couldn't find the lenses either, so he used lens tape to make them amber. I went one...

    Finally did it - here's the new Go Wing installed

    I bought this repop Go Wing from a FABO member. It was installed but the car never moved, so he sold it to me with the bracketry. I bought the templates from First Place Auto Products and the whole thing sat in my garage all winter. Today the trunk was cut to fit the brackets and holes drilled...

    Where to find front grill turn signal lenses - 73 Dart Sport

    I know I saw a post about this, but I can't seem to find it. There was talk about eBay and a Mexican company that fit like crap and looked terrible. I need some good looking, good fitting lenses. Where can I find some front grill turn signal lenses? They look something like these.

    My door seals are terrible! Who has best fitting?

    I bought a complete set of body seals last year from eBay. It turns out that the trunk seal is wrong, I can't figure out the door pieces and they fit terribly. I thought they were Metro Super Soft which I was told were good. These were something like Metra and they fit like crap. I just want to...

    Where is the best place for window fuzzies?

    My windows rattle when down part way and it is driving me nuts. Where is a good place to get window seals / fuzzies? Quality is more important than price, but of course I would like the best price!

    Feeling dumb - Where do these go?

    I bought a Softseal body seal kit last spring and just got around to putting it on now. The doors, trunk and hood were pretty easy to figure out. These I can't see where they go. All the seals were gone on the car when I bought it, so there is nothing to match up. I tried around the windows but...

    New plates (finally) and scoop emblems

    Well, it was 50 degrees here in Minnesota in January today, and there is no snow on the ground. Hard to believe, but I busted the Dart out of storage. I was so excited I came out of the storage facility sideways with the tires roaring. God I love this car. I put the new 408 stroker emblems on...

    Sweet emblem for hood scoop

    I have a friend who does vinyl work - wraps, decals, etc ... I was going to have him make some 408 Stroker decals for the side of my hood scoop, but decided to try these stick on mumble mumble ford mumble mumble emblems. They are 4" X 1.5" and come as a pair. They will give it more depth than a...

    Hood scoop finally - what do you think?

    I dragged my baby out of storage with the exhaust ticking like mad and embarrassing the hell out of me, but it was worth it. I could never get a paint to match my existing paint, so I went classic satin black. What do ya think? Hood in shop Hood scoop on car My baby in the...

    Can't find matching paint!

    I want to match my existing paint, which is not factory, to paint a new hood with a hood scoop. How hard can it be? I used to sell PPG and went to a PPG dealer with a Prophet color match camera. Worked it up - no match at all. Couldn't believe it. Went to a Dupont paint supplier and used their...

    Getting ready to mount the scoop & paint

    I am stopping by Carquest on the way to work tomorrow so they can use their Prophet (or whatever PPG calls it these days) color matching system to match my paint color. I have my used hood all prepped, ready to cut holes and mount the hood scoop. Sublime paint with black stripes and scoop. Can't...

    How nice is this used hood I found?

    I found this hood used in an out of state boneyard in an online search. They said it was in nice shape and I bought it sight unseen. $65 for the hood, $50 shipping. I just got the hood insulation taken off an am amazed by a completely rust free hood. Not even any surface rust! I placed the scoop...
