1969 Dodge Dart GTS

Really nice car! Hope you can get the original radio back. It really should have come with your purchase anyway. (did he go to jail for robbery?) :profilel:

See how there is white overspray on the shock studs/bushings and various firewall components? Do yourself a favor and completely strip the engine compartment so it is nothing but bare sheet metal. I'd also remove ALL the glass and interior before sending it off to paint. You will get a much better job in the end with a bare shell, there will be less time and $$ spent masking, and you can use the down time to get all that stuff cleaned and ready for reassembly. Another thing is that stuff tends to disappear when cars are in for paint. This way you can control everything and not have to worry about missing parts. Oh, and another thing....remove and store all the power brake stuff and just run a 73-76 Dart power brake MC MANUALLY. You'll love it. Good feel, less weight, simpler, no vacuum no problem.

Yeah I am stripping the engine down before heading to paint. The interior is stripped all ready.

Good call on the manual brakes. I was thining about doing that. I really don't like power brakes on these cars anyways. I am going to order the firm feel power steering box.

I am leaving the windows bc the vinyl top is new.
