1963 Dodge Dart 270 Convertible for the Wife

Lots of hot greasy work today that does not show up as a lot of visible progress but the front suspension is stripped and bagged, the rear axel is out and the springs are ready for blasting. The /6 is coming apart...

A broken sharp screwdriver is all you need to get the dried-out bushing out.

That's the same place I contacted to have my dash replated and also the future 3d printed parts! Anxious to see how they turn out for you. Kids needed clothes for school so plating will have to wait a little longer.
