1970 Dodge Dart Sedan 318

[ghostkode]

Hey guys! I'm new to the forum and want to share my project with any enthusiasts! Any constructive criticism is of course greatly appreciated!

Quick back story on the car, it was purchased for $1500 as a trial run at a project car. I was unable to put much time into the car for about a year but now that I am finally graduated I am devoting blood, sweat, and tears. (A pile of cash too!).

Keep in mind, when I started this project I knew very little about restorative work so I made mistakes, however, I'm learning quickly!

Looks good so far, keep updating with pictures. Those headrests look to be in good shape too, take care of them.

Nice start man! Looks like you've got quite a few projects there! Lemme take that Raptor off your hands, surely you could stand to be without it for a little while ;)

Haha thanks man! All of the other ones are 100% restored! (Willys needs a winch). I'll have to post some pictures up! My uncle bought one but, him being super short (like everyone's funny uncles), made him hate it and sell it!

I look forward to that! If all the others are restored too, I bet that little Bimmer is a fun little car-as well as the Porsche

Update! I removed the fenders and lower bumper last night! A long day of stripping and sanding is ahead of me.

I have to say, I am amazed at the condition of the wheel wells. It doesn't look too bad, nothing that a little bondo and a lot of love won't fix.

Finished the wiring harness for trunk, lights, and dash. Tomorrow? Rest.

I find it awesome that you are fixing up a 4 door!
Keep the pics coming.

I spent most of the day degreasing, degriming, and stripping the buildup the wheel wells.

I've just finished applying the last layer of undercoat. Wheel wells finished.

Success!!!

I'll echo that :thumleft:

Woke up early today and started finishing up some interior parts.

I'm pretty critical of anything applied with a spray can, however, when painting some of these smaller parts, the Duplicolor Engine Enamel is awesome.

A few coats of semi gloss black followed by a few coats of clear coat and voila! More photos to come.
