    Pictures of Console Carpet for 69 Dart

    Does anyone have pictures of how the one-piece wrap-around console carpet attaches to the center console for a 69 Dart? I am in the process of replacing all the wiring harnesses in the car, so I figured I would also take the console out to replace the top plate and fix the carpet. The guy who...

    Installing Seat Belts in my 69 Dart

    While my car has been done for more than a year, I have wondered if my seat belts in the front are installed correctly. Does anyone have pictures of what inboard and outboard seat belts are mounted for front bucket seats on a 69 Dart? I just want to confirm mainly that my outboard belts are...

    Speedometer Cable Won't Disconnect From Back of Gauge

    I am trying to chase down an ongoing issue with noise in my speedometer. However, when I tried to disconnect the speedometer cable from the back of the gauge, the cable seemed to be hung up on something and would not just pull out. Any idea what the cable could hang up on preventing its removal...

    Question about reproduction console door?

    I have been looking at replacing the console top plate pieces on my Dart, but I have a question. The reproduction console doors (like you would buy from Classic Industries) has no hole for latch button/door lock. Has anyone bought one of these reproduction console top sets and how did you...

    Thumbwheel Radio Question

    So I installed the original thumbwheel radio in the dash of my 69 Dart. The radio has all modern electronics inside so that I an listen to the radio. But I have a question born by my ignorance (or inexperience) with this type of radio. How do you actually set the preset buttons on the radio?

    Headliner and Rear Window Trim on a 69 Dart

    As I get closer to the final reassembly of my car, I am getting my stuff ready for the interior work. In going back through my pictures, I cannot seem to verify that there was trim along the sides of the headliner (over the door and quarter windows) or around the rear window. Can anyone tell...

    Pic Needed Shoulder Belt Mounting Location

    I was wondering if anyone can share a picture of the location on the inside roof/frame of the car where the shoulder belts would mount on a 69 (or similar model year) Dart? I am specifically hoping for a picture that shows the interior roof section without a headliner so I can clearly see where...

    Question About Seat Belts

    I was wondering if anyone has a picture of what the seat belts on the inside of the front bucket seats look like on a 67-68 Dart that do not have a connector for a shoulder belt that would have otherwise been fixed over the doors? I am considering not reinstalling the belts that mount on the...

    Primer on Chrome Shift Lever Arm

    In the process of screwing up a bunch of things on my project, my soon-to-be ex-body man left this brand new floor shifter and all the components sitting out in the weather for a year. I am partly to blame because I should have removed it early on when I had the chance. Needless to say, I took...

    Attaching New Vinyl Material to Bucket Seat Back

    The new seat covers that I purchased from Legendary for my bucket seats on my 69 Dart also included pre-cut material to attach to the bucket seat backs. The seat backs I am using are not the original cardboard style but a composite, almost hard plastic material. I originally tried attaching...

    Bucket Seat Back Mounting

    Okay, I am at a complete loss now. I assumed that the lower portion of the bucket seat backs on my 69 Dart were screwed into the seat frame. Upon further investigation I realized that the holes on the seat frame are not actually threaded. So now I am at a loss as to how exactly the backs mount...

    Seat Back Screws

    I am wondering if anyone knows what size or type of screws go into the bottom of the seat backs on front bucket seats of a 69 Dart? Along the metal frame at the bottom of the bucket seat top is a hole at each outer edge where screws presumably go through the back itself to hold it in place...

    Bucket Seat Back Screws

    I was wondering if anyone happens to know what size screws are used to hold the seat backs on bucket seats for a 69 Dart? These are the screws that go through the bottom of the seat back and screw into the bottom of the seat frame. When I took my seats apart to reupholster them, the previous...

    What Are These Trim Pieces?

    Apparently when I was disassembling my car, I forgot to mark what these trim pieces were. Anyone have any idea where these two pieces of trim go inside the car (69 Dart)? I might try to replace these with new parts if I can find them because they are beat up pretty bad, but I have to figure...

    Dyed My Seat Belts

    I decided to try to recolor my seat belts in my 69 Dart. Didn't want to spend the $400 necessary to get new belts for now. I used the Rit Fabric Dye. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, just time consuming. Here are a few pictures. Before: During: Boiled them in a big pot then...

    Mounting Underdash (Shoddy) Pad on 69 Dart

    As I am reassembling my dash a question occurred to me...what does the underdash (Shoddy) pad mount to? I have a firewall insulation kit and the underdash pad kit, but I am not sure what the pad mounts to. When I took my dash apart, I do not recall seeing any signs of insulation under the dash...

    Mounting Thumbwheel Radio

    I am putting my dash back together on my 69 Dart. The car had an aftermarket radio stuffed in the dash when I bought it but I am mounting the original thumbwheel radio back to make it look like it is supposed to look and to accommodate the new dash bezels. I was wondering does the radio attach...

    Radios, Gauges and Dash Bezels

    My 69 Dart came standard with the thumbwheel radio and dash bezel to accommodate this type of radio that stretched all the way across the face of the dash. I want to keep the bezel that goes all the way across and across the glove box, but the only bezel I have been able to find that allows me...

    A Few Questions About Floor Shift Install

    As I get ready to install the pieces for my floor shift conversion, I have a few questions. 1. When installing the console, does the carpet in the floor completely cover the hump under the console, or is it bare metal with the carpet just wrapping up on the sides of the console? 2. Is there...

    Console Mounting Bracket Template

    I have just about pulled together everything I need to do a column to floor shift conversion in my 69 Dart. I was wondering if anyone has a template that can be used to make sure that the console mounting brackets are welded in the correction location? Thanks.

    Good Interior Shop in Central Virginia

    As part of my car project for this winter I am going to be taking the complete interior out of my car and redoing in. While I believe I can handle the carpet, seat uphostlery, and door panel work, I am inclined to have someone who really knows what they are doing install the headliner. I want...

    Arm Rest Pads/Bases Rear Panels on 2-Door HT

    As I am putting together my list of small parts for my 69 Dart, I was trying to inventory all my needs for the inside of the car. I realized that the rear panels on my car (a 2-door hardtop) are missing arm rest bases and pads. Anyone have a picture of what those bases and pads should look...
