Very nice and very brave to choose black as your color for your first paint job. Well done!

Not paint related, but yanked all the interior, replacing with new while we are at it.

Reminds of my Ragtop. Was yellow stock but I painted it black. I owned 4 yellow 68 Darts and I personally just don't like the color. Black shows everything but IMO is the easiest to spray as you can overlap your strokes more precisely .

Was originally purchased in Penn Yan NY, then was in Florida, then my father bought it in the 80’s and she has been garage kept since then. Needed zero metal replacement, so that was a great surprise.

very surprising. you and the Barracuda are very fortunate. BTW, paint looks fantastic.

Agreed! The fact that she has been a NY car for the past 40 years and is clean as she is, is rare. And thank you on the paint.

Beautiful job. I hope my 66 turns out as nice as yours.
