    There are businesses that can repackage your bucket-based paint to spray cans. You might be best served going that route.

    Rear Deck Lid Spoiler for '67 Dart GT

    Here you go...Charlie Allen's Saddleback Dodge '69 Dart funny car at OCIR. This was the only decklid spoiler I ever liked on the '67-'69 body style. I think the wing-style spoilers look terrible on A-bodies.

    A body styles

    How "square" do you mean? 1969 was the final year for the vertical Dart front and rear styling. The 1970 Darts had a more rounded front and a sloping rear panel. Or do you mean anything that doesn't look like a Duster/Demon/Dart Sport?

    Truck versus Duster, and truck won.

    Maybe at that specific body shop, but I have the winner regarding time... Years ago I was driving my '69 Swinger 340 in Whittier (SoCal) when I saw a woman starting to back out of the body shop entrance of the local Lincoln-Mercury dealership. I stopped to be courteous. She backed out across the...

    1969 Dart Sripe

    I had an original '69 Swinger 340 that I purchased used in Nov. '69. I loved the look of the R4 Red with a white stripe. Unfortunately, I got stupid and sold the car during a minor family financial issue in the early '90s. I'm now building my 'replacement' '69 Dart to mimic the look. My...

    Sound deadener

    Please post pics of your door panels...show off your work! I believe it best to apply the sound deadening material to the inside of the exterior door skin as the material is designed to reduce the noise caused by vibration of the door skin. Check out this for more info... Car Door Sound...

    Cleaning up body lines

    Almost exactly what my body/paint guy said when he was about 6 months into my Dart. A trick he found that he said helped him a lot was cutting the retractable metal tape out of a 25' measuring tape and then taping in to the side of my Dart to use to establish laser-straight continuous body...

    69 340 Swinger question

    Good decision! Even though my current '69 Dart didn't get them from the factory it now has Hotchkis subframe connectors and US Car Tool lower core support, inner fender braces and front and rear torque boxes. It also has cowl to front frame braces.

    69 340 Swinger question

    I bought my old '69 340 Swinger in November of 1969. It was just a couple of months old and the only changes the original owner had done were a wood-rim steering wheel and Cragars. He put the Cragars on with the original white-wall tires! But to answer your question, it was an automatic car...

    Rear Stripe color?

    Not at all. Back in early 1970 I bought a used '69 340 Swinger that was just a few months old. R4 Red with a white butt stripe and black interior. My current project is a '69 Dart that's just been painted Viper red with a white stripe and, yes, it will have a black interior when finished.

    Car finally off to body shop!

    Shops 1 and 2 I found on my own so only have myself to blame. Shops 3 and 4 were both recommended by friends. That's what blew me away. One of the things I couldn't understand was that the only thing that had to be replaced was a skin for the passenger side rear fender - not the entire...

    Car finally off to body shop!

    Sure glad to see your car isn't having the "paint jail" history that mine had: * Shop 1 - agreed to do complete body and paint on my '69 Dart. Just before SoCal switched to water-base paint requirement several years ago the shop suggested they purchase the "good stuff" while they still could...

    1968-69 Dodge Dart Hardtop Door Latches - Same for both years? Or different?

    Hey 1968-69 Dodge Dart gurus, are the door latches used on the hardtop models the same for both model years? I found some new ones available but they're only listed in the catalog for 1968 models. It doesn't seem logical that they would be a 1-year only item, but we're talking about Mopar here...

    What Paint Would YOU Do?

    So you think your car's looks are a bit butt-heavy? Then there's your car's name..."Big Booty Judy"! My suggestion on any stripes would be to stick with 'Plymouth' stripe design for your Barracuda. I just don't think 'Dodge' stripes look good on Plymouths, and vice versa. JMO.
