I really enjoy the search. Actually 20 years ago I found a1934 Airflow but it was cut in three parts. The center section was missing. After searching part in 5 years I helped 15-20 owners in US and ome in Sweden.
A month ago I found a 1922 Dodge. But first engine compartment on my Dartcharger convertible and then my grandpas EPA tractor that he built after getting home from WW2. He started driving it in 1947.
But a one owner Dartcharger hardtop.......
Tonight I delivered the wagon to the alignment shop. Ettings has done all my cars. Excellent work.
First car wash and polishing done. Seats and rear bumper and we're good to go!
love it!!

just over 6 years and all you seem to have gotten done is changing the wheels and removing the rear bumper?

When i get old I want to be shipped over to Sweden so someone can rebuild me!
Finally time to pick up my seats. Hans Fjallstrom in Lycksele did an excellent job putting it all together with new vinyl from SMS Auto in Oregon.
The result = stunning!

Great that you have someone to do good upholstery work. I was lucky to find a guy nearby to do mine. Seems to be a dying art
Wow! Those seats look great!! Yes to find a god shop that is reasonable is hard.
Rear seat in place. The "lock arm" which side should it be mounted at?
Front seat in place! Tjohoo!
Today the rear bumper showed up. The chrome was perfect!

You are the Dart Dr.
Same size on tires front and rear, new o-rings for the ac system = check! Door panels from SMS Auto Fabrics and recharging the ac system and we're good to go!

I have the pièce de résistance for this particular project. let me know if you're interested.
I have a really nice small block Spalding Flamethrower distributor. tell me that wouldn't be the coolest thing!
I'd add a photo but photobucket has stopped allowing posting to forums, and I haven't bothered trying anything else.

thanks, here it is.
Wow Scott, that's cool! Actually I think it's the first time I've seen on for a Chrysler smallblock. Put it on your Dart!
I might come over for the Fall Fling in LA. Not sure when cause they haven't announced the weekend yet. I might stop by and say hallo.
This summer has been great here over in Sweden. We've been to two Mopar meetings and I have put down 1600 miles since June. She runs great. The only problem is that the heater element cracked so I ordered a new custom maid one. Now it's like running in a toaster!

Mine is shot do u have info on how to get these weatherstrips
Check out their website at Joe Suchy Mopar Cars and Parts – The Old Car Guys
Finally the right 13 inch Cragar S/S with bias ply tires is in place. The ones with aluminium centers will be kept for the next Dartcharger.
