72 Dodge Dart

Thanks for the idea, as far as how much "fabbing" lol, we will do what we have to do. I was thinking of something out of a newer magnum, charger, 300?

When it gets to that, I will put the seats and console from my magnum, JUST TO SEE, how it looks and fits. If I like then I will buy from a junk yard. I have lots of friends. I want comfort, and updated. (still confused on what I should do for the dash) My husband found that Dakota Digital has an instrument cluster for my car, looks the same, but all the numbers light up like the newer cars. So I can get the digital lighting with the original look.

Or should I try to use a dash out of the newer cars (charger, 300, magnum) BUT sounds like so much work... SO MANY DECISIONS!!! :banghead:

I will get it figured out. Found a website that sells the original tail light/brake lights lenses with LED lights. Looks awesome. www.CARid.com

I used seats from a 2003 Mercedes CLK 430. The key is to get seats from a 2 door, so they fold forward. I had to fab one mount on the inboard forward side of each seat, then welded fat spacers on the rear mounts to get it where it needs to be. Plus drilled a couple holes. All in all, not to difficult.

With regards to dash/instrument cluster, check out www.intellitronix.com. Similar deal to dakota digital, but much less expensive. Keep an eye on eBay...I bought my 6 gauges cluster for 180ish delivered. I seriously disliked the 72 cluster I had and wanted something different and clean.

FYI if you do something with a center console. The hump is NOT centered on the car. Ask me how I figured that out....LOL
