1965 Dart GT conv.

looking good & getting close to being done! Like the use of the fork lift to fit the running gear! Any pics of where you attached the webbing to lift the body? I was going to make a frame attached to the bumper mounting points but the webbing idea is interesting!
Sorry but no pictures. Hooks added tothe front holes underneath the front frames.
 
Today me and my buddy Johan did the top. Turned out great with smaller adjustments. Next the stainless steel mouldings around the top. Started to cut the plastic cover to protect the door panels from being damaged by water.

Time cut the top at the bottom and add the restored stainless steel mouldings.

I was able to buy a NOS exhaust pipe today for slant six cars but in great condition.

Finally the last small adjustments on the top is done. Next will be to check the top motor and fill the fluid and connect the cylinders to the top mecanism . The exhaust system is in place and the clamps gets here tomorrow.

Are you using the Charger 273 HiPo exhaust even though the engine is a 2 barrel?
 
Ah OK. I have a complete reproduction Charger 273 exhaust system from Waldron’s Exhaust for the Dart. Very nice system
 
The small stuff is really time consuming! Today I did the last adjustments on the drivers side. Tomorrow the convertible inside panel will go in as well as beeding the top motor.

Finally the new tinted windshield is in place. It took a good two hours to get it in place.
Tonight the wipers and the engine is next.

Last night I was able to make the final assembly on the engine bay. The air cleaner lid is the last thing and hopefully done tonight.

Not sure but I haven't seen this before. On the starter relay there seems to be two kind of clamps holding the wire connector.
Anyone seen this before?

Finally the car is done. I gave it a good cleaning and washing today. Next is to adjust the lights and have it inspected before the fun starts!
