Here's mine, have yet to get started on it . c'mon spring
I have a 66 4dr dart, but it's pretty much a parts car since the frame rail is rotted out
It might be of value. Start a sale thread if you want to sell it or part it out.
When I got it, rebuilt the engine and trans went out in 30 miles. Sat a few years before replacing the trans, but has only been in the road the 1 time I drove it other than driving around the yard. It's been off the road for 15 years. I'd like to see it put to better us e than a lawn ornament. Of coarse some parts are good for my 62 valiant. I think I'll part it out.
Thanks for allowing me to post !
Sold my Henry J gasser project to buy this jewel and make it a Super Stock car to run with the Southeastern Gassers Association.
Club rules are 9.50 lbs per CI and must run stock valve angle and no minitubs ### Hoosier has a new tire coming out next month for this class which is 29.50 tall with 7 " of rubber plus sidewall so roughly 9" wide overall. Im putting a Healthy small block together now and will run a jerico 4 speed in it.

Looks like a nice sedan. Keep us posted on your progress.
Sure will
Heading to Hedman in 2 hrs to pick fenderwell units up
Have obtained two sets of 6 cyl torsion bars
Ordered the steel 15x8 Mopar wheels and 15x4 for up front with vintage Cooker front tires also so getting it together indeed.

This is my ‘66 GT 273, 4 bbl. still a work in progress. Man, those headlamp bezels are proving to be elusive. I’m hoping to source a period correct 4bbl for it soon. Best of wishes to everyone with their Darts and Dart projects.

I have two extra grille center sections for a ‘66. When I decide which one I’m going to use, I will donate the others for someone’s project. All they will have to do is pay shipping. That way I can help someone else out again. I also have a ‘65 and earlier rear bumper that needs rechromed that I’ll let go of now. I’m not looking for money, just the satisfaction that I’ve helped another Dart person out.
Great progress Yes the headlite bezels and taillites for 63-6 Darts are a booger!!

I’m not sure if it’s doable but I'm thinking about making a set of dies that I can use with a shop press to straighten out the dings in the bezels. If I go that route, I will post the results. Thank you for the compliment. You have a really nice car too.,

This is my ‘63, 270. Low mileage car too. I think it’s a shame that the four door cars don’t get a lot of love.
That would be good. Keep up posted for sure. I checked into press and trim dies to reproduce 66 Bezels. $10,000 minimum. Geez!

I went thru about ten pages looking for flared fenders. I have a pair of rotted 66 front fenders I'm going to use to flare my back 66's.
