Newest 65 Dart Owner in So Cal!

MoparN8 said

I recently joined the site and so far i'm real impressed. I am a classic car rookie and just bought a 65 Dart GT. I has the 272 Charger, LA engine, 4 bbl with disc brakes, a/c, yellow on black and really is fun to drive. I'll be having fun restoring it (there are some rust spots under windshield rubber and in the trunk,etc.) and it will need a paint job soon. Having trouble finding a paint shop here in LA/OC/Riverside area. Any locals out there know a good paint/body shop that does classic cars at a reasonable price? Thanks guys.

Best to start networking locally. There is the Inland Empire Mopar club that Ocdart belongs too. Also attend local Mopar show and cruise-ins. When you start mingling ask about paint shops. It the hardest part of the resto process. Finding a paint shop.

In October come up to the Fall Fling show in Van Nuys. There will be a bunch of A-bodies and about 175 used parts vendor and new parts vendors to search, price, and buy parts for your car. Great place for networking too.

If you can, bring your car. Becomes much easier to remember parts you need and helps networking.
