1968 Dodge Dart GT Sleeping Beauty?

a tip for when you mask small bits/cables/pipe fittings etc is to use tin/baking foil from the kitchen. it can be wrapped tightly around things and stays put, but the best bit is it's easy to remove afterwards. it's a pain unwrapping miles of masking tape sometimes, lol.
neil.
 
This was after soaking for an hour. I hated looking at it sitting there. This is believe it or not much improved.

Dart is relocated to the Body Shop. Right now the estimate for body and paint is $3500-$4000. I was initially just going to do the engine compartment and trunk. Also the drivers side dents until I ran out of money. Current plan is to do that as well as any other areas that need attention. Spray with a high build primer and let me block and see what we may discover. I already have approximately $2K in metal work and $800 in metal parts including a full rear quarter. I guess my painted car will be around $7-7500. I think that is a fair price if it all works out.
I just realized I posted about it being at the shop. I didn’t give the pricing. Other threads are searching for painters. Prices certainly vary.

I have been eyeing the seat belts.

They were very dirty.
I put them in a sweat shirt, inside a pillow cover in the washing machine. They came out much better but not perfect.

Need to clean the buckles and other hardware.

Once it got in the shop, they got right on it. The driver’s side worried me the most. At one point I was ready to add that quarter. I was told that was not the way to go. They felt the dents could be pulled and in the end it worked as they knew it should.
