MuuMuu101's 68 Dart, A Learning Process...
So, I got some work on the Dart today. We'll start with the bad...
Bad:
I bought a pair of LED headlights for a JK Jeep a member had used here. It required grinding/machining the heat sink to clearance the headlight bezel. Well, in my grinding, I accidentally damaged the headlight lens so now it's trash. Luckily, I got them on sale and they were about $65. So, I don't feel too bad about it.
Good:
I started looking at the Intellitronix gauge cluster and it doesn't seem like it's going to be a bad swap. I just need to make some mounting brackets and a dashboard cover. And on the plus side, it seems like I'll be able to connect the speedometer sensor straight into my T56. I also pulled the dash pad off. I'm not sure if I'm going to get it re-padded. I might have one other idea for it. Does anyone know a good way to remove the padding from the dash pad frame? On a last note. I'm almost done setting up my Christmas present, a 3D printer. It should be able to print parts approximately 10in x 10in x 12in in size.
