My first Mopar was a '69 Super Bee. 383 auto, bench seat, column shifter. The only options were a vinyl top and a driver side remote mirror. I had the 383 bored, balanced, and blueprinted back in '75 or '76. I was never beat on the street until the trans started slipping really bad. So I have...

My thanks also. That was a lot of good information. I was asking for a friend and will pass the information along. Dallas

Thanks for the compliment. I sold that car back in 2008 but it was one of the best old cars I have ever owned. I enjoyed the car much more once I got rid of the black. My previous 'vert before the '68 was a triple black '70 Challenger. Black cars are beautiful but I don't really ever want to...

I changed the seat covers and door panels to white on my old 'vert. I like the 2 tone contrast of black and white. Plus white is so much cooler in the summer. I was also kind of worried about maintenance as I didn't put the top up too often. I found out a can of 'crazy clean' and a microfiber...

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out tonight and forward it to my friend. Dallas

That looks very nice but my friend will want to go the resto route on this particular car. I like the look of yours as my vehicles keep getting farther from stock the longer I own them. LOL Dallas

I have a friend who was inquiring about getting his redone. The chrome on his is getting pretty bad. Since I just found out the tops are being reproduced, he might just want to go that way. I'll see if Leanna has some pics of the one she worked on also. Thanks, Dallas

Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware the parts were being reproduced. I'll pass the info on to my friend who is wanting to convert one. Dallas

Does anyone have comparison pics of 4 speed and auto consoles? Has anyone modified an auto console to work with a 4 speed? TIA, Dallas

What have you done to get the console restored? Does someone offer this service? Or did you just have the top rechromed and refinish the rest yourself? Thanks, Dallas

There are a few different ways to prep and paint depending on the brand you use. I use Dupont vinyl paint. I believe dash pads should be medium gloss. As mentioned, you have to get any contaminants such as ArmorAll off. Wax and grease remover is commonly used here. Then, I have a strong cleaner...

I use Dupont vinyl paint. I believe the seat backs should be medium gloss IIRC. You must get them very clean, not a trace of vinyl protectant or any other contamination. I generally spray with 'whitewall cleaner', scrub well with a brush and soapy water, then scuff with a scotchbrite pad and...

Dart panel is basically straight or level across the top. The Barracuda one has a slope, I believe...........or visa-versa. Dallas

Glad I could help. The additional advice on cleaning/tightening all the contacts, etc., is right on the money. Also check the plastic bulb sockets carefully. The little tabs that hold them tight when you twist them in tend to deform and crack, sometimes breaking one side off entirely. I also...

I fought with one for about 2 hours one day. I had everything removed and unhooked as mentioned in the above posts and still couldn't tip the top out enough for it to clear the dash frame. I couldn't see or feel anything that was causing the problem. :banghead: I finally left it for awhile and...

I had some in my '68 B'cuda 'vert. I ordered them from a company that went out of business and kept my money from my second order. I've seen them advertised at various places. even on ebay. I think customautosound (sp) sells them, too. Dallas

The upper pad has studs in it which go through small holes in the metal dash, except for each lower corner which uses a screw with a 'bolt' head. I believe the lower pads have the studs only. Here are a couple of pics of a '68 with the upper pad removed. You can see the square holes mentioned...

Give Dante a call. www.dantesparts.com He doesn't manufacture parts but is a dealer for most everything made by various manufacturers. He is about as close to one stop shopping as you will find. I've bought from him a few times and had good customer service. I don't think anyone makes new...

I just looked at the pic and thought that one was metal. That's what happens when you don't read the description. ](*,) Good thing you noticed it. Dallas

For the money the Stech one at the bottom right corner of the first page will work fine. The thin, 'blade' type will slide between the panel and the door easier than the thicker 'screwdriver' type. Dallas

The 'correct' seat will depend on the interior code on the fender tag. Could be either the standard or deluxe interior. A few cars had painted tops that were a different color from the body. You can also tell this from the fender tag as the upper and lower body color codes will be...

Sounds like my kind of luck. My problems usually take the most expensive solution. :banghead: Dallas

:thumleft: I would check this out first. (gauge voltage regulator). Much simpler and less costly. Dallas

Oreilly Auto Parts mixes it for me. They sell Dupont paint products. Dallas

I've painted interior parts with Dupont vinyl paint (even metal parts) and it works very well. It can be mixed in low, medium, or high gloss. Proper prep is a must, (get parts VERY clean), but it holds up well. Dallas

I have purchased form him a couple of times. Both times my covers were Legendary brand which is top of the line. A friend bought some e-body covers from him which were PUI brand, which aren't nearly as high quality as Legendary. However they were some color that wasn't very popular and wasn't...

Took a bolt out and measured it today. Looks like a regular seat belt bolt. It's 1 1/2" long total with non-threaded shoulder just under the head that's about 3/8" long. The threaded portion is over 1/2" long and the tip is about 1/4" long and doesn't have threads. Dallas

stormin, Sorry, I forgot to look until this post reminded me. I'll do my best to check today. Dallas

I'm guessing the same type used to mount the belts on the floor. If I can remember it tomorrow I'll check my '69 notchback parts car and let you know for sure. I've owned it for 3 or 4 years and just noticed last week it had the shoulder belts! Dallas

I would probably use something like Rustoleum primer then paint it. Dallas
