Another 76 Brazilian Hardtop
Man, you're going to town!
Ah, OK, don't know if you're familliar with that saying...
Looking good!
What is that casting number? Upside down 301? 168?
Those pictures really don't help, neither does my memory.
Went to look for some better quality ones, and the castings seem to be "105" and "118", don't know if that makes any sense to you. Maybe its something exclusively brazilian...
Thanks for the help and encouragement!
Awesome man! I love the looks of the instrument cluster on yours far better than those in the U.S. Those buckets look pretty nice as well. Awesome job on the paint too.
Thanks 71!!
I still need to paint some "chrome" stripes on the cluster surroundings, than its done.
Those buckets are really confortable, but I still find the ones with the lower back support more "eye friendly". Anyway, when I get those on vinyl they will look fantastic!
That car looks amazing! Very nice job, keep it up!
Thank you roadrunnerh!!
I've taken one step backwards to try something I hope will help make some better progress on the resto.
The car is at my parents house, so its kind of and effort to go up there to mess with it...leaving the wifey alone and all...
SO...I had to make some arrangements to bring it home!
It's not even close to what you guys are used to up there, but it has some good room to work on it and to store my parts safelly.
Its not done yet, have to pour some concrete on the bay, put something to top the walls (ceiling?) electricals and than some shelving and the and a nice workbench.
Ok, I still have a lot of work to make it functional...lol
But what you see was done in only a week and a half!
Some of the happiest 100sq. feet ever!

The blue car is 3' shorter than the Dart, but it is EXACTLY the same width!
