    Amy is thinking about changing tops...

    When I first started reading this, I was all about keeping the black top... (my Dart has a black top so im kinda partial to that) .. but the more I look, at the color combo, and not that we've been introduced to Amy (the person) lol... Im gonna go with white.. I think it'll look awesome.. Both...

    Black Out Behind Grille- 69 Swinger

    I agree with the others.. there was no specific pattern or anything like that.. In my case I blacked out just what was visible through the grille...

    I have seen the 69 stripe on a 70.. because of the sloped rear the stripe winds up looking weird..

    69 Dart with 68 Stripes

    The only problem I could possibly see with the 68 stripe is the placement of the marker light on a 69... (67 had no marker light and the 68 lights placement is further back) so the bumblebee stripes are nice and continuous... On a 69 they would be broken up somewhat as they go right where the...

    Aftermarket Snorkel Scoop

    lol.. true.. but it was a close friend who sold it to me.. our code at the garage is if we can help one another out with parts we have, we do... we arent out to get rich of each other LOL.. There was a part (another scoop I believe) that he was trying to buy for his car.. the amount he was short...

    Need opinions on rear window install in a 72 Dart

    I should've clarified that in my last post.. I was just speaking of the rear glass.. but we did my front glass as you described, seal on the car, work the glass in... the rear was the opposite..

    Need opinions on rear window install in a 72 Dart

    If anyone has done seal on car, then work the glass in on a Dart, i want to come and watch..as far as I can tell, its not possible.. (at least it sure as heck wasnt on my dart...) we had to put the seal on the glass and then rope it in

    Either this will be brilliant or go down in a big ball of dam what the heck happened

    I personally like the wing cars as they are .. the Bird and Daytona are unique and have an important place in automotive history.. I have seen many examples of 'mini' winged Mopars.. I have seen this done to a 69 Dart, and 68 Barracuda and several examples at the Mopar Nats this year using the...

    '70 Duster Vinyl Top Question

    As for the extra material, the vinyl top I bought for my Dart had a good deal of excess that needed to be trimmed off. Seems like a waste of material, but that's just how they are

    Just painted the engine bay

    I found out the hard way that light has a lot to do with how orange peel appears.. for instance even after the scuff and buff on my Dart, there still seemed to be too much orange peel.. my friends told me the lights in the garage made it look worse... took it out in the sun, and you could barely...

    70 swinger stripe goes over valence crack ??

    I think it looks wrong on the green one just siimply because of the angle... lol.. which is probably why Ma Mopar flirted with (and ultimatley did with the promo car) putting the stripe the whole way around.. LOL .. Someone help me out here.. werent the stripes painted fron the factory? I...

    70 swinger stripe goes over valence crack ??

    I agree.. it looks that way in those pics.. I would be willing to bet that it was their intention to put the stripe all the way around.. and did so for the promotional cars... I would also be willing to bet that they probably decided it was more trouble than it was worth and nixed the valance...

    Pick How I Should Do Grill

    I do want to point out though (and Im sure you already know this) but regardless of what any of us think, in the end, its your car.. whatever you think looks good to you, gets a smile out of you, or feels right to you is the choice you should always go with.. I am sure there are people out there...

    Pick How I Should Do Grill

    Thats exactly why my grille ended up blacked out.. your spot on there my friend.. It just fit the theme and colors of my car.. and in my case gave it more attitude... but I have seen 69 Grilles blacked out on other cars and didnt like it as much.. I really believe it all depends on color and...

    vinyl top bumble strip yes or no

    I voted top and stripe (but of course im WAY biased LOL) .. but I think with those wheels, stance, and color, shes still one sweet head turner..

    Pick How I Should Do Grill

    In my case I thought the blacked out grille gave my Dart some attitude, but I also think it has a lot to do with the color of the car.. I like the way the grille looks on his car.. I am not a fan of the black wheels (at least not with that color... again.. color seems to make a huge differance)...

    Pick How I Should Do Grill

    I would vote leave it alone as well.. I think it looks good... however, the grille on my Dart is blacked out much the way you describe.. so heres a shot of it to compare..

    Trim for 1969 swinger
