Thank you! I have to admit that I had a great set of parts to begin with. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Thanks, ScampMike. Hopefully I get some more free time soon to make some more progress.

Of course, I didn't notice my speedo stuck going fast....need to debug a few things.

Oddly, it's not letting me upload more than one pic.

Made some more progress on the car last week. It had been well over a year since I hadn't started it after taking the dash out to restore it and clean the mouse droppings behind it. Amazingly, the /6 started with pretty little effort. I'd say the results of the dashare decent, considering my...

Thank you!

Quick picture of the ashtray. When I got the car, it was still filled with cigarettes and burns. I used Rustoleum Hammered silver paint on it. Sanding that little area was a pain and not worth the effort to make smooth. I think the textured result was exactly what I needed.

Wow! It has been a FULLY year since I had a chance to mess with the Dart. In the meantime, I have been working on restoring an old farmhouse on 40 acres and my '82 C10 so I can use it as a farmhouse work truck. With the crappy weather and finally some time, I decided to play with Bart the Dart...

Thanks barbee6043! The body style is definitely growing on me. I like the vision I have for this thing and can't wait to see it start shaping up. I'm definitely dealing with some uncharted territory here, but that's the fun part. Adrian

Another quick update... I decided to do some work on the steering wheel. The beast came with the neat rim-blow steering wheel. It was in pretty bad shape with a couple of cracks about 1/8" wide on the rim. I did a bit of research and found that I could fix these using epoxy putty. I...
