1968 SS Dart in progress
WOO HOO!!!!!! More progression on re-assembly! Available time to work on this beast is limited and so is the progress. Better to progress a little than not at all I suppose.
I purchased some sheet aluminum and fabricated my block off plates for the package tray and rear seat area. Also purchased a new package tray from Classic Industries and trimmed it to fit around the roll cage which I painted black until I can have my custom roll bar padding made. I needed to have all of this done prior to installation of the rear glass.
I finally obtained the correct front windshield gasket and had brand new windshield and clear rear glass installed along with restored stainless trim. Just finished installing the passenger side plexiglass, restored stainless, re-chromed vent window frame etc... I am in final phase of adjusting drivers side components and should have all of that installed next weekend. I have the correct straps for the manual pull up windows and have fabricated aluminum stand offs for the plexi to rest on in lowered position.
With any luck, I should be picking up my restored gauge cluster from Dick's Speedo-Tach here in Phoenix Arizona soon so I can finish off the dash.
The next items to be installed are my restored steering column and the new steering wheel with horn ring. A thorough nut and bolt to the entire undercarriage including suspension will commence so that I may lower her off the jigs. She's been up in the air for the past four years. It will be nice to see her on the ground :-). All I have to do next are to have my bumpers restored and finish the interior and it will be ready for the drivetrain. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!
