yeah that's the best body style of all Darts... Looks great. It was worth it just to get rid of the luggage rack. Wanna do mine next..now that you are experienced.

Really looks good, I love the Black car with the Black roof..

I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to body work, but why is the primer so glossy?
I am doing my 67 Valiant and the primer is dull like your first pictures.

Thanks guys, these kind words are part of the reason we do this crazy stuff. I'm sure there is a medical term for this.
Dan Chase340, the shiney primer is regular primer sprayed with a slow drying solvent just to make it shine so he could see any defects in the surface. It's a lot easier to see them when it's shiney.

Beautiful!! Those five spokes really help that black paint pop!!

Those are American Racing Fuel Chrome. I like them better than Crager because the Cragers are uni-lug which in my experience are hard to keep tight. The A/R wheels don't seem to be as heavy in the center. I mean they look more open.

You're inspiring me to get back out in the garage.

What size and backspacing are those wheels. They would look great on my Cuda. Some day.

Looks fantastic!

Getting ready to jam mine in the next couple of weeks. I'm excited to see some black finally going on the car after 3 years. Funny looking at the spots on your car where it had been hit is almost the same areas mine were. Looks good man I'm jealous!!

looks great. glad to see another one back on the road.

The wheels are 15 x 6 but i don't remember the back spacing. If I remember correctly, I measured the original and used the same. The wheels that were on it were 14 x 5.5 ralley.
