1963 Dart 170 2 Door Post Resto
Thanks for the compliments. I'm still worried about final coat. Hope it goes as well as the last spray did. Don't think I'll ever stop learning. This is my first attempt at painting a full car.
I wanted a different color but kept it Mopar with 2020 F8 green. Super happy with my color choice. Supposed to be graphite grey on the panels inside but it looks more like black. Either way, I like it.
Made lots more progress over the last few days. Got the motor and transmission installed (thanks to my wife for all the help... And we even stayed married after...lol). Got the steering box rebuilt and installed. Even went as far as to do some work on a custom front bumper. Wanted to get rid of the bulges under the headlights so I bought a 68 Camaro front bumper. All I had to do was cut it in the middle, take just about a quarter inch out of the middle and weld it back together a little straighter (Camaro had way more angle to it). Could have pulled it in a little more possibly but I think it looks pretty good. The Gap on the corners looks about how they would be factory, maybe a little less.
