Hey Speed, Great job on the car looks like you are going through as much if not more work than I did. The car is looking great keep it up it will all be worth it in the end. I can't wait to see it painted.

Are you going with the vinyl top also? Glad to see B5 and Black color combo I haven't seen it on many cars.

Thanks, and I agree that in the end, everything we have done and gone through will be all worth it.. And trust me, I cant wait to see it painted either! LOL .. and yes I am going with the B5 blue and the black vinyl top..

Speed,
The problem is you need to know when it's as good as it gets. You can find the problems because you have been staring at every square inch of it for a long time. Ask someone who's not familiar with the car if they see anything wrong. If the whole package is right the small flaws disappear.

I totall agree.. I realize that since I am the one that sees it every step of the way, knows what I started with, and knows what its supposed to turn out like, I am going to spot flaws and problems as if theres a bright light directed right at them.. where most people might not ever notice them unless I actually pointed them out.. I am leaving her as is now.. it is what it is.. the bottom line is I am the one that has to be happy with it.. My parents always said, as long as you tried your hardest and did the best you could, thats all that counts.. I feel like I have, and I am proud of the buggy. and myself...

Love your dart, an inspiring project, glad you kept it a '69. Its nice to see your family is behind your and involved. I would keep working that fender before you lay down some paint otherwise it will be in the back of your mind bugging you.

Could you talk to a body man and maybe trade out some labor?? I'm an A/C man and thats usually a good trade. Sweeping, pushing snow?? Like you said when times get tight the tight get creative.

Thanks for the kind words, they mean a great deal to me.. and I love having my family involved in the project... as for the fender.. I am at piece with it.. trust me.. I know it isnt perfect.. but its the best we could do, and Im proud of that.. like I said, I will eventually find a better fender and change it.. for now I am happy with it as it is...

I just checked this thread out from begining to end and love it. Just like you, money and time are our issues, but we also have no garage/out-building to work in, so our progress is no where as in depth as yours. You can check out our slow progress on our father/son project at; http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=44709. Cant wait to buy my own home with an out-building to work on the Dart with its donor/parts car sitting right next to it. We could have done so much more if we just had the enclosed, or even covered area!
Anyways, great work and keep it up, I look forward to watching your progress!

Thanks for checking out my thread.. I really appreciate it.. I just went and checked yours out.. I only skimmed through it, but I intend to sit down and read it all the way through later this evening.. from what I saw though you have done an outstanding job thus far.. I cant imagine its always easy having no garage to work in.. doing it all outside.. thats mighty impressive.. and the fact that its a father/son project is just cool as can be... Thats something that will you will both be proud of, and later it will provide memories that you will both enjoy for the rest of your lives.. truly awesome.. I am gonna be watching your thread as well... cant wait to continue to watch your progress..
