well, I managed to bend it back straight-ish, and then repaint the needle. I didn’t want to make it any worse than I already had so I didn’t try to remove the speedometer needle.

Has anyone ever replaced the needle on their speedometer? I bent my speedometer needle trying to install the speedometer in the gauge cluster. Apparently it’s very fragile. I don’t know how I’m gonna bend it back. I have a spare, but I’m not sure how to swap it out. Anyone ever done this?

That is exactly what I bought from the dealership for $25.

I installed the Toyota kit Part Number: 81110-60P70, bought from the local dealer for $25. The kit came with both headlights, bulbs and relay wiring harness. The harness was way too long, so I cut it down and made it fit my dart in a more stock manner. I have not drove the car at night yet...

No driving to work? What if I am heading to the cruise-in or parts store after work?

I was on Hagerty getting a quote and my insurance agent just contacted me with a quote from Hagerty, has guaranteed value and they are getting a better price than I could. I even matched up all the options to their quote.

Has anyone else had a situation where they restored and Hemi / 5-speed swapped a slant six automatic car, I mean rotisserie, no bolt untouched refurb, and you contact your insurance company to add it to the policy and they say the average value for the car is $9000, so we cannot insure it for...

I do have offset upper control arm bushings. I need to measrue my bars, it has been so long ago since I bought them, I don't know the actual size.

I have not driven it yet, I figured these would get me started and then I can upgrade down the road.

Just some cheap Monroe? stock shocks to start out with.

I am to the point on my Dart Swinger build that I need to get the car aligned. I am running 17" wheels with 245/45 tires, with 1.xx torsion bars. I have the ride height in the from about where I like it. But my lower control arms are basically parallel to the ground, and looking at the...

50,000 peso is around $2700 USD That would make more sense!

Maybe if you bring it to my house, I used the DAP Products Weldwood Landau Top & Trim Contact Adhesive with a cheap paint gun The Top was from Legendary Auto, and I used the DAP Products Weldwood Landau Top & Trim Contact Adhesive with a cheap paint gun from Harbor Freight Yes, first time...

Just wanted to follow up with an update. The center has been glued for a week or two now, and I finally got back to the project. I got my top completely installed. I did the driver side first, sprayed glue from the seam to the drip rail, and half way down the c-pillar, once I got that all laid...

I just got my kit from the nearest Toyota dealer to me. The kit cost $18 + tax and $14 to ship it so I didn't have to drive the 1.5 hour back and forth. I figured I'd try them out, sealed beams are going to cost $12 each.

Update... I had a couple hours last night, so I re-started my vinyl top install. I laid the top back out, centered it on the roof, and folded the driver's half of it over to the passenger side. I lightly resprayed the existing glue and started in the middle, then smoothed it out from center to...

I guess my though was that the Rubberized undercoat would dampen the sound of rocks and stuff in the wheel wells better than the Raptor.

Good ideas, thanks. Edit. So I contacted DAP like Super-Cuda suggested (not sure why I didn't think about doing that, panic I guess) They said I can add another thin layer of adhesive on top to re-stick the surfaces together, even if it has been days. The "2 hour Open Time" is how long you...

I have just done this conversion (still in process), Dana67Dart has some good information in his post. I was going to move the headlight bucket, but ended up finding a couple 1969 Dart "parts" fenders for $50 each and removed the headlight bucket area and installed them in my 1973 Dart fenders...

The black is rubberized under coat. The heavy textured black areas are the original under coating. It was stuck really good, so I just cleaned it and sprayed the new over the old. The new turned out a lot smoother that the original, but I am ok with that. No body is going to be inspecting my...

I cleaned and polished the Swinger emblems, then masked the flower petals so I wouldn't get too much paint build up in the flower. Stuck the emblems on a cardboard box, then sprayed the whole things with black rattle can. Came back with Laquer thinner on a rag and carefully wiped off the...

The weather was nice yesterday so I decided to install my vinyl top on the Dart. I started spraying the glue, laid one half down and started working out the wrinkles, I was having some problems getting the wrinkles out on the back half of the roof. Then got a phone call and had to leave. Since I...

I used Color matched Raptor Liner on my Dart. I sprayed Epoxy on the bottom and then sprayed the Raptor the next day, which was within the recoat window of my epoxy primer. If yours is outside the recoat window, you may want to go over the primer with a scotch brite pad to give it a little...

Mike, you should do a How To article for some of us DIY'rs out here.

Probably too late now, but this guy installed the vinyl top with the windows installed. "How To EPIC Vinyl Top Make And Install Auto Upholstery" On Youtube (I couldn't get the link to work, so you will have to search"

The service manual has all the details on installing the window mechanisms. https://mymopar.com/service-manuals/

Me Too. Epoxy primer and then color matched Raptor liner Cuda Ragtop - What Ford Model did you get the spare tire from? Thanks
