I will be picking a 69 dart up Saturday. Not sure how much will be left to part out, but I wanted to make it available to you guys before she goes to scrap metal. It was a /6 car but has a 318, nothing special, it has some good interior parts that I needed. I intend to tear it down to pretty...

I know very little about fuel pumps and have something on my Dart that has me curious. When I bough the car, a 69 340 Dart, it had a mechanical pump and an electric pump which had a toggle switch on the dash to turn it on and off. Before tearing it down, I noticed no difference with it on or...

Where is the best place to buy leaf springs for my 69 Dart? I saw PST has them with new bushings. I am not going for high performance, the 340 will be pretty much stock. So I am thinking just a basic reaplcement is all I need. I shopped a little bit, but found a wide range of pricing.

I am looking for a donor car to have on hand when I put my 69 Dart back together. the previous owner did a lot of replacing of bolts and now none match... I would like a spare set of parts in the form of a car, that would also act as a roadmap for me to reassemble properly. It would have top be...

I need help, ideas or tips on how to clean up and refurbish my instrument panel and heater control panel. the previous owner painted over it and it looks pretty bad. I have already stripped most of it down, but now I need to think about painting it... Was it originally chrome around the edges...

Some random guy offered to buy my Jeep for a very reasonable price. It is pretty much exactly what he has been looking for in a Jeep. I want to say no, but I am tempted by this car... http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/2020857131.html Or this one...

I have been looking for a patch panel for a 69 dart. I only need a small piece on the passenger fender, right behind the rear wheel... I have been looking online, but can only find a complete or nearly full rear quarter. Anyone parting a 69 that can cut for me or know where I can buy one?

ok yes, this is another what is it worth thread... I am not familiar with barracudas. I was toying with the idea of trading my Jeep for another A-body to use as a daily driver. so i would want something in the 5 to 6k range (value of my Jeep) and needs to be reliably running. I found a few...

Here it is in a nutshell... My Dart is stripped down and nowhere near driveable. I need to get it from Colorado Springs, CO to Katy TX. I have a freind that can tow it, but he is pretty busy and would have to do it in a weekend... 17 hours one way would make for a long weekend. So my...

Hello. I was wondering if anybody knows a good garage to have body work done in the houston area. In particular the Katy area. I intended to do all the work myself, but i am now leaning towards having soemone else do it for me. what I would be looking for is someone to prep and paint a car...

Well I have been away for some time but I am finally settled in Katy TX. Ok, I am nearly settled and hope to have less boxes in my house next week. Who here is from TX? I am up for making new freinds with a similar car addiction... I am also looking to find someone to paint my car or at...

Well, I sold my soul for money... A few weeks ago I posted a thread about whether or not it was worth leaving a place you love for a promotion in a big city. I accepted the job and should be moved by March at the latest. But I will be spending some time down there after 1/1 because I got to...

So in these hard times I might have fallen onto a bit of luck and it raised a very tough question... My company is going through a reorganiztion. Half of us are rumored to be moving to Houston in order to keep there jobs, if they don't go they get laid off. The other half get to stay here and...

I got a line on a '70 340 Duster in great shape... It has the original, running 340. it is an automatic. Bench seat, B5 blue. I looked at it and it had no rust, anywhere. It has the rally dash and black interior. It needs a paint job on the exterior only. engine bay and rest of the car has...

I am looking for sheet metal to fix some rust on m rear quater panel. The area I need is the area that rusted from the passenger side trunk drain plug clogging up. The area is pretty small on the outside but it is rsuted through. the inside truck verticla part is prety bad. I found them...

I need a new passenger front fender for my 69 Dart. I saw somewhere that I can buy a replacement one and it was kind of pricy. Does that come with the headlight assembly in it, or do I need to transfer mine to the new one? Thanks

Hi all. I am in the process of tearing down my car for a complete bodywork and paint over the next year or two. My 69 Dart currently has a fairly large gap between the door and rear quarter. What should the width of the gap be? I am kind of nervous about it being so large on my car and...

Hello all. This weekend i pulled my tranny from my Dart and now I got two laying around. I got a 904 from a 71 /6 Dart and a 727 from unknown vehicle. My '69 Dart was a 4 speed originally and will be again. The previous owner swapped in an auto and I don't know where it came from. So...

I need some adive or tips... I am tearing down the front end of my car and the way I see it, I have two options. I am tearing it down primarily to clean it up and get it ready for paint. 1.) just replace all the bushings and call it good. I can upgrade to disk breaks down the road when...

Ok, so I have gotten much enjoyment over the two years of reading poeples restorations threads so I decided to share mine. This is my 3rd Dart that I had for about a year now. My first car was a 75 custom that I feel in love with in 1990. I bought my 69 last year and it was modified...

Not sure if this is old news already, but I read a small article in Mopar Enthusiast about Memike getting help on the car he bought. I guess that is why i keep comin back here, lots of good people on here. SOrry if this was already posted.

Here is the problem... I have been driving my 96 cherokee for 3 years. it is the longest I ever drove a vehicle so I am gettign itchy. (it was paid for from day one so I have not had a payment in years) Option one: Lift the cherokee to make it more fun to drive. Not a measly budget...

This may be a dumb question, or at least show just how green I am on cars. But I decided to do all the body work while all the interior is out. But I need to pull the engine and averything else and it won't run for probably 2 years now. Till I get all the body work done and interior...

I have my whole car stripped down and ready to begin body. (probably next spring now) The car is very rust free and any little surface rust that started is getting fixed. the inderbody is still very intact and the original coating is in good condition. the rest of the car will be all...

I decided to start on some cosmetic stuff but won't need it for awhile, but wanted to know... MY 69 Dart was wrecked years before I owned it and the parts around the headlight (the grill) and the chrome trim peices on the hood are ugly. Is there a place that sells them new or do I need to...

Ok, so this is last minute but he will be going to a pound if we can't find a home... The story: A coworker got a dog a few months ago and he just bought a house last week. Well, the dog is a bit of a digger and he has no patience for training him otherwise. This is a very fixable flaw...

http://denver.craigslist.org/ctd/816169207.html It is not mine... But I am oddly tempted to go look at it. If I only had a larger garage.

Ok, so I sold my 71 Dart and I have some serious regrets and I think I should have parted it out. So I just wanted to try to buy one and part it out just to see how it goes. I know it is a lot of work and you really got to get a good deal to make it worth while. But, how many people on here...

So I tried rattle canning some interior parts and it looks bad. For some reason it kep spitting paint drops on the part and I want a nice finish. So I am going to take the leap into trying to learn how to paint. I figured the biggest cost is the air compressor to get started. I learned a lot...

Hey all. I am putting in a new patio, already chipped up the concrete and removed it. Was going to put all flagstone down but found something else I might look at. Home Depot has those templates that you can pour cement in and make it look like little pavers. you do this over and over...
