Tightened up the top a bit and installed the front bead/weatherstrip and it is is done! Weatherstrip adhesive is drying...
Dang dude, you do excellent work.
Got one side done with the 3M film along the lower edge and ran out 
... so what do you think... with our without the stone guards... I spent way to much for these perfectly polished items so it is killing me not to use them....

I like the stone guards, and they protect the paint, sooo, yes on stone guards.
Stone guards would be my choice, just enough to offset the beautiful paint job.

agree on the stone gaurds, will you waxoil or similar the area that'll be behind them for protection?

Once last adjustment (loosen) of the top so it does not pull when it is down and the trunk seal and she is officially out of parts to install! Photo shoot day.... So do you like her with a tank top or topless?

Looks extremely cool with the top down! 
Looks very cool with the top up!
Looks very cool with the top up! She sure looks great both ways. I wouldn't kick her out of my garage for eating crackers.

We embark on a 500 mile round trip to a weekend and a show in the mountains in the morning. Coronet, Duster, Dart, 66 Hemi Satellite and a CRV heading out at 5:30 am! Wish us good fortune!
Wow, Happy travels and a great time to you and family. Have a fun and safe time.

Best Mopar at the Show Low Az show last weekend! Nice 500 mile round trip drive with all 3 cars plus a Hemi Satellite. The Dart only had to stop about 1/3 of the amount for gas as the Hemi!
Good for you guys. Hope it was very memorable.
Sorry not that rare of a car. I have 2 in my barn One sounds just like your car and the other may be a bit rarer as it's a conv. also but with the 273 Hi-po and a 4 speed.
once you get into the early A scene you realize they are everywhere. What is rare is seeing one restored to show room condition. They are worth less than $20k in show room condition and it will cost you way more than that to make it look like the wife’s unfortunately.

Those group pictures like that are just so cool! Sounds like a trip you'll remember for a long time.

What an awesome resource these photos are! Thanks a lot for posting such detailed photos and process summaries for so many sub-assemblies.
Did it answer your question on the vent frame?

Absolutely! I may have questions once I get to start putting everything back together, but at least now I should be able to get everything apart without breaking anything.
Actually, I do have one question. One the Dart 270 door badge, do the 'clips' that hold them on come off? Or did you break them? I noticed when you went to reinstall them, you covered the clips with epoxy.
