I am finally getting around to replacing the Dart GT emblem that was broken on my quarter panel. The typical way to replace it would be to pull the rear seat and rear panel out and use push nuts from the back side of the emblem. However, that is obviously a pain in the butt. I have seen a...

My dad and I are working through his 66 Valiant that he recently picked up. Our focus has been on getting the fuel system all straight and getting it running. However, a notable problem is the doors on the drivers side won't latch. On the rear door, this toothed gear (see pictures) on the latch...

My dad's 66 Valiant came with the square mirror seen in the picture below. The mirror is broken and will not stay up. When I went online to look to buy a replacement, the only options I saw available were round mirrors. Anyone have any advice on where I can find a replacement mirror like the one...

Can anyone tell me specifically what seal this is ("circled in the picture") that goes in this channel over the rear window and door window glass? I need to replace this particular seal because the one on my car is installed wrong so that the glass rolls up on the outside instead of seating in...

I have a rather dumb question. I am in the process of swapping out my old engine and forward light harness for one of the Evans wiring harnesses on my 69 Dart. My question is...is there any easy way to unplug the headlights so that I can pull the harness out of the front end or do I have to tear...

While I did a serviceable job in repainting and somewhat refreshing the look of the trunk trim panel I bought for my car, I was wondering if anyone on here does, or knows someone who does, real restoration of these panels? While what I did looks passable, it still stands out as subpar against...

So after my car was media blasted, we discovered something that seemed kind of odd. The point on the door jamb where the striker mounts appears to have a riveted plate that the strikers are screwed through and into the actual mount on the back of the jamb (behind where the quarter panel would...

I am getting down to the end of things I need to buy to start piecing my project back together. I am planning on replacing all of the weatherstrip seals around the car. I was wondering if you guys could recommend a weatherstrip kit that basically has all of the seals that I need in a complete...

While working to replace the cowl on my car we obviously went ahead and removed all of the wiper assembly from under the dash (wiper motor had already been removed). I was wondering if there is a complete kit to replace all of the bushings and seals that are part of the wiper system? I did a...

So I started with a 69 Dart GT that had terrible roof rust problems. It was also ate up all the way around the vinyl top trim and the filler panel was all but gone. The front cowl was not in the best shape either. It looked like this when we took the vinyl top off. Plenty...

I recently picked up a pretty nice trunk finish panel for my 69 Dart. It has a couple of small creases along the trim edge that I should be able to straighten pretty good and I can repaint the black on the panel. However, the polished edge (that looks like chrome) has a few nicks in it where...

As a part of the resto-mod project for my 69 Dart we are using the roof skin off of a 75 Dart. My question is after the skin swap will the car still use the original headliner style with the bows or the molded style found on 72-76 Darts?

I was wondering if anyone has had the bumblebee (double) stripes that came on the 68 Dart (and maybe the 67) installed on their 69 Dart? I am considering doing this as part of my resto-mod build and I would appreciate it if anyone has done this could share some pictures of how it looks. Thanks.

I was wondering if you guys could share some of the different ways you have restored the grille for 69 (or other model year) Darts, whether for the original stock look or something different like for a resto mod. I am considering sending my grille off to CudaChick to have it powder coated...

After the body work is finished on my car and it goes to paint, I would like to install a stripe across the trunk and down the sides of the rear fender on my 69 Dart like the stripes that came with the GTS or Swinger. However, I don't want to use the GTS or Swinger stripe. I would like to do a...

So as I finally start the tear down of my car, I have a question about painting my car. While I can disassemble most of the exterior and interior of the car, I don't really have the facilities and tools to do a full engine removal. I was wondering if anyone has had their car painted, including...

I have a question about hood options for my 69 Dart. My Dart currently has the original/stock GT hood installed. I am wondering if a GTS hood offers more underhood clearance than a stock (flat) GT hood? It is already tight under my hood with the 1/2" phenolic spacer installed and I may have...

So I am eliminating the vinyl top that originally came on my 69 Dart and converting it to a true hardtop. I removed the trim from around the upper portion of the windshield and around the back glass. However there are still some vinyl top edges tucked under/in the window seals. I am looking at...

The previous owner of my 69 Dart went wild with a paint brush and decided to paint the fender trim on my car silver with the center stripe painted black. He also used the same scheme to paint the grille, headlight and taillight bezels. I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best way to...

So I finally got around to pulling the vinyl top off the Dart this weekend and now I am freaked out. I guess I was not expecting the disaster that I found. The first picture just gives you an idea of what it looked like before. The roof metal is pitted badly and there are a number of holes...

After posting pictures of my 69 Dart GT, it was mentioned to me that the rear bumper in the picture is not the correct one for a 69. Anyone have any idea what year this might be from (and if it might be from a different make)? I would like to put the correct bumper on my car, so I might be...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where a good place to find the fender trim clips that hold the trim to the top shoulder of the fenders and doors on a 1969 Dodge Dart GT? I have checked all over the internet and cannot seem to find the clips. They slide into the rails on the back of the...
