MuuMuu101's 68 Dart, A Learning Process...
I got a couple hours this morning to work on the car. Tore out more things from the dash. Got stuck in a couple areas, but overall I made some progress. My biggest achievements was that I was able to remove the radio and speedometer today. The pile of parts are just getting larger.
But now it's time to reveal my plan for the dash. On Black Friday I bought an aftermarket, universal LED gauge cluster to replace my speedometer (inaccurate), tachometer (large and separate), oil pressure (separate gauge), water temperature (separate gauge), voltage, and fuel (broken). The gauge was from Intellitronix and 40% off. I think I have quite a bit of weight savings.
The place where I've gotten stuck removing the dash pad. I can't quite get the 2 bolts on the outer edges. Also, I can't quite figure out how to remove the cigarette lighter. Mine is very loose and was very finicky whenever I tried to charge anything within it. Lastly, my wiring harness, if you can even call it that, looks like it will be a nightmare.
So, a lot of good stuff. I'm happy with my progress. Now, I just need to plan how I'm going to install the gauge cluster, piece together a radio system, and make the dash cleaner looking.
