it didn't, they only came on the 413 but they fit the 440
|
I love the dash man, how difficult was that to fab up and what gauge metal did you use??
|

We got our other dart in the garage and started working on the center council, its gonna be fiberglass then painted the color of the car with the speakers on each side. Man is it nice working on the inside of a car when its convertible. Heres the first steps.

Looking good Joe.
If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I'm 17. Getting ready for my bigblock! |
ill be 19 in january
|
Ah. Little bit older then me.
I just turned 17 this past July. Will you be racing your Dart? |
Sweet looking darts guys and Joe make sure you let us see the pic's of the dart when you get her back from paint and blue 68 thats a sweet looking color on your dart :D
|
thanks, paint date is december 5th ill be sure to have pics
|
Once you paint it, with that green, the car will look great!:D
|
thanks, i was over looking at it yesterday, its coming out great. Its got real nice crisp lines that will really show off the beautiful lines that the darts have. Heres a few pics of the council, we switched up the front cause the round look just wasn't looking good. Also added an arm rest/storage compartment.

Hey! a local to me!:D You are doing some really nice work. |
Oh, I wish you were closer. I'd love to see it! I'm in Brooklyn, N.Y.
|
Wow, your projets are looking good. Your dash really turned out nice.

thanks, well the first attempt at the center console with that grill cloth was a failure but got it right this time, just layed some fiber glass cloth down and put the hardner on it and let it sat over night, then stapled them to the sides of the console, not we got to cut the extra off add some layers, sand and paint

that'll look great
do you need to replace the floorboards? |
no thats not the actual car thats a 67 dart we got in the back yard, while the real dart is getting painted were using this one to build it out of, plus its a convertible so its easier to work in
