1963 Dodge Dart 270 Convertible for the Wife
A lot of sweat and filth this weekend but it does not look like much. Since I have done 2 other nut and bolt restorations I realized how much we really have done and the time it will save on the back end of reassembly.
The nut and bolt restoration center :)
Engine, transmission, rear axel, suspension bolts cleaned/wire wheeled/bead blasted. Next weekend the ones that need paint will get painted.
Here is all that is left, sheet metal and body bolts/clips that need to be cleaned next weekend.
Interior and under hood fasteners to be cleaned next weekend.
Spent a lot of time cleansing and blasting this......
Then I flipped it over..... POS..... need to find a Chrysler part.
Basket of blasted parts to shoot SPI Epoxy Primer Grey to get painted Seymour's Stainless Steel applied later.
Second basked of blasted parts ready to get painted SPI epoxy primer black as the final coat. I have a few more large shields to blast that won't fit in my cabinet. I need to build a sand blasting booth outside before doing anything more....
It may not look like it but this is 90% all the piece parts that need to be blasted and painted.
