1966 Dodge Dart

Got a couple of things done this week. First I installed the dash as a test fit and while doing this I changed the screws holding it in to bolts that are mounted in the dash so I can remove the dash if needed without removing the windshield.

I also was able to cut out the bad section of the trunk and replace it with a patch piece I made.

While I was welding I finished closing off some of the very small pin holes in the inner fender.
I also drilled the hole for the push bar for the shut off solenoid since battery is being installed into the trunk. I will need to make a bracket to mount the cutoff solenoid for the best working situation.

Then lastly I picked out the rear tail lights assemblies I will be keeping. Actually I made 2 sets so I have a spare just in case something ever happens. This leaves me with 2+ sets to offer for sale which I will post later for sale. Once I picked the ones I would keep I took then apart and polished them up. Here are the ones Im keeping. Then I wrapped them up and put them into a box until I hope spring when it gets painted if I can stay on schedule!

I also received the wire so I can rewire the engine compartment. I should have enough as the minimum amount was 100'. Got 8 different colors and some 10 gauge and 8 gauge as well.

I still need to see some pics of someone that has put a headliner into their 66 Dart that includes the rear bow and how the springs hook in the back.
Next steps are the headliner, carpet, dash and wiring. get the console completed and installed. The biggest thing that needs done in the very near future is to start the engine. I will keep you informed as I go forward.
Thanks for following.
