Thanks! That is really motivating stuff. I have an updated photo I will need to put up tomorrow.

Cool. Thanks for the tips guys!

Thanks! Ya, the strippers just dont work as hard as they use to.

Thanks for the reply. Looks real good!

Where do you get those seats?

Wow, this is how I want to do my 70 dart in a way. I had a question, how did you do the dash? Did you weld in a patch where the hole was for the gauge cluster?

I got a question. What grit should I use once the car is stripped to primer and I want to take it down to metal?

Where did you get the dash insert?

Ya, this is just a resto-mod. I want my body to look good but doesnt have to be factory spec. I dont have any stuff laying around for patches. I was told in another thread to look for some 10xx 18 gauge steel. Heard Lowes has some. Will start there. Actually, to save money, I plan on patching...

I have been blasting the problem areas with Black Diamond but was told to use stripper on the outside body. I picked up some rustoleum aircraft stripper. It takes about 3 coats to get down to primer. Is that normal? Is there something stronger I could use and buy at a store?

What is the best way to get all that joint sealant off? Ive been using a metal putty knife.

:hello2: I have had this Dart sitting around for awhile. I have been bored lately with all the small house projects being done and waiting to accumulate some funds for new floors. In the mean time I figured I would get a jump on the Dart. This is my first restoration and Im lacking on...

Updated photo

No worries. My thread is here for the paint department experts. It's a whole new ball game for me and will be fun to learn. I just need to aquire a few more tools to get the ball rolling once I finish removing the rest of the stuff on the car. After that, all I have is time. Oh. Got a couple...

Updated list.

Nothing is messed up and all worked fine. Ill take new photos of it. I didnt clean it up before the photo and it does has pollen and dust on it.

My 26 gallon compressor holds up but the regulator acts weird so I think I might get a 60 gallon one. Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it!!!!

I didnt know where to put this thread or what to name it. There is a restoration section? The one I have might be purple. Ya, now that I read more I will probably go with the good stuff. So I wont be that dark machine creepin up in the rearview of mustangs and so forth. And Ill have to learn...

Took him the beach last weekend. He is definitely a magnet. His sister, on the other hand, keeps the **** blockers at bay. The funny thing is my brother did all of this with the import scene. When I ask him questions, he just tells me I dont know. Says it was too long ago to remember. 4 years...

I have updated the list. A few things are sold.

I dont know to be honest.

Im not using Black Beauty. BB is different from Black Diamond at least in appearance and according to courseness. It was used on multiple car tv shows saying it doesnt warp. Thanks for the tip though. unfortunately, its too late for the places I blasted. If it is warped then oh well. At least...

Just temp until I get a better quality compressor that doesnt lose air pressure after the initial squeeze. I plan on going over it again when I hit the whole section. No trouble. Easy as pie.

Thanks for the info. I forgot to mention that Im using Black Diamond coal slag from Tractor Supply. According to Gas Monkey, it does not warp the metal. I havent seen any stretch or warpage yet. I also have the Harbor Frieght paint gun combo. I have painted a lot of other things in the past but...

They are off my 1970 Dart but doesnt mean they necessarily are that year. I apologize, I'm not a big info buff on the dart years and parts. I kinda just like to fabricate and build so Im tossing a lot of stuff that was on the car.

CudaChris67 - Are you talking about the cheap flat black paint job? Honestly, I like the color. Im a very bland individual who really doesnt like chrome or other shiny stuff. Actually, Im a novice painter. I do like the flat black look. What do you propose? For the primer, I should blast the car...

Hey, my brother finally woke up and decided he was tired of doing nothing. So he came over sit inside the car and do... Nothing. Hahaha! Just kidding. He helped a lot. More than my last helper.

:hello2: So I have had this 1970 Dart sitting around for awhile. Just me and my little buddy workin on it. It has a 383ci in it with the 727 transmission. Linked to an 8 3/4 rear end with gears unknown for now. No power brakes, no power steering, no heat, no air, no radio, no zip. Just the way...

Open to offers since I have no clue what its worth other than comparing to ebay.

Not even sure if this stuff has value but told the ol lady I would give it a shot. Off of a 383ci engine that was in my 70 Dart.
