1963 Dart 170 2 Door Post Resto
A little more progress with yet another setback.
Got some of the rear stainless installed and also the rear bumper brackets all cleaned up and painted and the bumper installed and adjusted. Came out great. The setback I ran into was, I had two of my new tires installed yesterday. I did the fronts first as I was concerned about clearing the fender as the tires were wider than what I had on it. Fortunately they clear with no modifications required. I went with 215/60R14 BF Goodrich Radial T/A's on steelies. They look great. I had 195/70R14s on it in the front but They no longer make them in the Radial T/A that I wanted. The issue I ran into was the rims got scratched. I kinda expected it though as I was waiting to do my final small parts in case this happened. I think it was a prep issue I was concerned with when I originally painted them. I was reconsidering redoing them for a while and this forces me to do so, so I'm not that upset. Just hate the prep work all over again.
Getting ready now to replace the heater core and install sound deadening and then the headliner. Glass coming soon. Finally the boxes and shelves of parts are starting to get empty.
