Are you planning to do the same level of detail as you did on the 65 Dart or more for fun?:happy1:
 
A lady in town that I known for years asked me so I thought yes, I can help but in a way so I still can concentrate on my Dartcharger restoration. Since it is done I have done the front end incl Engine and tranny, the rear end and all the wiring harnesses. Same as my Dartcharger no, it will be a great driver for her. 273/904 and some new Cragars.
 
I'm thinking of mounting 68 weatherstrip w/moulding instead of the plastic lookstrip. What do you 67 to 69 guys think of the idea? I don't have any experience of these cars!
 
The paint turned out great. The stugf reay for assembly will take some yime.

However still searching for drivers headlight bezel!

That color is already non-factory, so I guess you are not going for "restore correct?" The 68 stuff is what is happening to mine. All you need is to install the clips which are readily available.

Also, you can play with the screws and clips for the dash frame and install them from the bottom. That way, if you ever need / want to rework your dash, you can pull it out of the car easily without dicking with the windshield.
 
I updated to the 68 windshield gasket, clips and stainless trim and never looked back.
Great looking ride, by the way....love it.
 
There is nothing like assembly! Putting back restored or new stuff really gives you a kick!

This is pretty close to the color combination I am going for. Very nice car. Mine will hopefully be at this stage in the next couple of weeks.

The drip mouldings were in bad condition. 3 hours later they were on the car in very good condition. I thought I was done with polishing stainless steel mouldings!!

Found a set of rear bumper brackets too. Found a picture on the web on a propotioming valve. Is this the right model?

Lookin Great Ulf !! Check my build thread at the bottom of my post. A few pages back, there, I replaced valves and lines on my GTS. Hope that helps.
 
Thanks desmo900! Last night I did all the brake line routing and it turned out fine. However I found one "valve" that must have been on the car too. Is this valve for the rear brakes?

Next is to primer the undercarrige!

Now the undercarrige is sprayed with grey epoxy primer. Next will be to install engine/tranny and front end setup.
