    mig welding

    Use a cardboard box with one side cut out as a sort of tent. That will keep the sparks away from things like your headliner, dash pad, rear seat, and glass.

    Wiper pivot seal kit warning!!!

    I don't know but I tried 2 3/16 bits thinking that maybe one was weird and I still had the 2 fittings in my tool box from the Laysons kit a few years ago from the Scamp and they were just as loose. I put the socket over the fittings and tapped them in with a hammer on my vise and I could pull...

    Wiper pivot seal kit warning!!!

    I did the seals in the Dart today and when I drilled the holes for the zerk fitting I did what the instrustions said and drilled a 3/16 hole. DON'T DRILL A 3/16 HOLE!!!!!!!!! It is too big and the zerk will fall right out. Drill the hole 11/64 then use a 12NC24 tap (I had to grind the point...

    Seriously.....

    There is a black plastic plug with a dimple in the bottom inner quarter panel so water can drain out. Alot of times 30 years of dirt, pine needles and other crap fills up inbetween the inner and outer panel and then the rot starts. I always remove the plugs and hose out the area real good on...

    Seriously.....

    It looks pretty solid above the rustout so take a grinder with some 80 grit and start about an inch up from the highest rust spot and stop when you find good metal that will be what needs patching. Then either get some sheet metal and make your own patch pannels, find another car and cut them...

    car on jack stands

    In the front place the jackstands on the frame rails behind the wheelwells and on the rear place them on the frame rails infront of the wheelwells. I have had cars on jack stands for way longer than 3-4 months with no problems. Just make sure that you give it the "wiggle test" before you crawl...

    POR 15 on body panels?

    I wouldn't use the regular black Por 15. They make a primer that works pretty good from what I have heard.

    temp paint...

    I used SEM Self Etching Primer on a set of fender skirts and just painted body color over them and they came out fine. Also used it on other projects in the past with good results. It's the stuff that comes in a White and Purpleish can that runs around 12 bucks a can at the parts store...

    curious yellow or black?

    Yellow. Black is a cool color and will make any car look mean but if you have any doubt in your bodywork skills they will show up real fast. It has to be tits on perfect to be black.

    glass removal

    Yeah, we did that AFTER we ordered new gaskets. Find out if you can get new gaskets before you start ripping into it.

    glass removal

    For the windshield I used a razor knife and cut the gasket all the way around and then just poped the glass out. For the rear we used a low E guitar string and poked it through the goop that held in the glass and kinda sawed it all the way around until the glass let loose.

    Broken screw. cant get it out.

    If you cant get it out and your sunvisors are like the later darts and have the 3 holes you could just use 2 screws to hold the visor in place and glue the broken screw head over the 3rd hole to cover it up.
