I did not break them but they were getting loose so this was preventative.

Gotcha! Totally makes sense.
Also, where did you buy the window mohair strips and Steele rubber u-channel?

Thank you sir! I'll try to stop bugging you now. Haha! I still can't get over how quickly you've built your stable of beautiful Mopars.
Anytime.
A 100% Mopar show and against some of the nicest cars in the state up in Phoenix yesterday... I am humbled....

Other than your superb workmanship and attention to detail, that white really sets that thing off. Congrats, and again, well deserved! Steve

I dont think you're going to get that glass to lay flat in the well with the top down. Maybe that's why it's not installed. That would be cool if it worked but the way the well is designed I don't think there is enough room for glass from the back of the seat to the back of the trunk.
It was actually a top for an 880. The previous owner bought the wrong top.
@Jim Kueneman I am still working my way through your thread and just want to say what a beautiful job you did on this restoration. Hopefully, I'll be bringing home a similar car soon and will be using your build as a reference. Here is a link to the thread.

Agreed
New 6 leaf springs from Springs and Things along with 340 torsion bars from Alan Shrock on the slant. This is a new car! What a difference.

It's gorgeous Jim! Dennis must have really liked it. He spent a lot of time on it.
He was enamored by the dual one barrels.

Spring Fling is over. Met a few FABO members this weekend and the Dart was well received. Got a couple pats on the back. First place in the Restified class (3-7 changes) and Jay Leno’s car painter gave me a nice complements on my bodywork and paint finishing. His car was stunning.
Finally got someone who has been around slants and early A Bodies to drive my slant and tell me how it runs compared to stock slants and 273s. I’m not sure the smile has come off @273commando ‘s face yet.
