Looks like a pretty good starting point, what are your plans?
That is a beauty right there :color: Very cool MoPar for sure and my favorite year :cheers:
Ok so the plans are:
Replace /6 with a 318 that I'm rebuilding right now (paint Engine bay at the same time). Keith black pistons, comp cam and timing set, edelbrock performer and 4bbl, aluminum radiator, TTI headers, and a custom local exhaust.
New springs and torsion bars
Ford 8.8 rear end with disks, disk kit for the front
One Rear Quarter panel needs to be replaced, and a couple of floor pans
New upholstery, headliner and carpet
New steering wheel
New custom gauge panel and autometer gauges
New radio (retromod style) and speakers
New rims and rear bumper
Paint job will be Black Cherry Pearl.

My favorite year! But I might be bias! Car looks like a great project. Keep us posted on your progress and best of luck as you go forward with it. If I can be of any help feel free to contact me. This forum has been great helping me get my 66 under control so far.

Very Nice Dart!! Good luck with it!
Looks like fun to me but I am also one of the biased ones. Lol keep us up with the progress. Tmm
Got the slant 6 out, it's going to a forum member. Due to a change in my family's income, I won't be able to spend any money for a few months months...but I have plenty to do in terms of restoration. I'll start with the engine bay and paint it gloss or satin black.

Dam, you can actually read it now.
Pretty cool huh? Do you or anyone else know what paint color if any it's supposed to be? I might just go with black with white letters
Fender tag should be painted body color.
I can't recall the actual process used in the assembly plant but a lot of times it was attached with one screw, then painted attached to body & then the second screw was installed - do one screw was painted & the second wasn't .

Here's paint code info http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/chipdisplay.cgi?year=1966&manuf=Chrysler&smodel=Plymouth&info=yes&page=3
I prefer the engine bay to be body color, especially when it's a light color like your car which will highlight the engine.

The color is gonna change...I'm not partial to the pale yellow. Most likely I'll go with black or a deep red that's almost black...black cherry. The engine will be red, so maybe I'll paint the tag red with black letters. I do want it to stand out

Nice project car to start with.Just a note ...you will get excoriated by a bunch of people here if you don't paint the engine bay body color and for heavens sake don't forget to black out the area behind the grill.
Yeah I fully expect that...but it's ok. The engine bay will be black and the body will be either black or blackish red, there will be very little difference
