My '67 Dart 2 Door Post Project

[QuarterHorse]

Hey all. My name is Dustin, just a 25 year old guy in the midwest with his first Mopar. I've had a few Fox Body Mustangs, one of which was a mid 10 second 306 car that I sold. We're off to building a sleeper Mopar now. :D

My relocate half done



The Dana Housing after being narrowed with the caliper brackets, 9" ends on it, and in the background the 35 spline axles and spool.


The Dana FITS!!!



With DISCS!


Where the floors started when I got it.



Off to the chassis shop.



Floors are in.


Poor pic of sub-frame connectors


Seam sealed and undercoated.




Got it back from the Zinc repair shop. (Similar to lead repair)

Before behind the wheel opening.



After blasting and repair



I don't have good before shots of these but they printed some out for me for the scrap book. There was a lot of bondo in the car as it was hit in the r/r it looked like. Not anymore!



This before pic shows your the little bit on the r/f fender, and the rust above the rear wheel opening that had been repaired in the previous pic as well.



After



I just need to weld up the puncture in the door, do some sanding and get some small surface rust out of the wheel openings that's just flash rust, and start getting 'er straight for paint now.

Looks good,nice job on the floors.

Re: My '67 Dart 2 Door Post Project

That'll be cool. Interesting floors.

Re: My '67 Dart 2 Door Post Project

Yeah they didn't make sections large enough for the car to just use boughten pieces. I would of had to do some fab work regardless, so a friend of mine got the nod to do the tin and sub-frames at the same time.

As soon as I find a drivers side fender I can continue with the body work and hopefully get 'er in color here before too long.

Or you could put glass fenders on it.

Dustin, Like your Dart project. Weather kindof sucks right now where we are. Got heat in the garage?

Yes it the weather does suck, and yes I got heat. The floors never quite get up to temp though. :D

What the!?!?!?!?


Oh yeah, just test fitting the patch panel before install tomorrow. :D

They're a little spendy for me, and I just had gotten the one fender repaired. The patch I found in the previous post should do me good. I hope to start on the rest of the body after I get the fender done. Perhaps in color in a few months if it gets warmer!

Haha yeah. I don't get some people. I knew there was a lot of bondo in there before we blasted it. I laughed when I saw that.

Re: My '67 Dart 2 Door Post Project

Not trying to hijack but I thought you might like to see your not the onlyone feeling that kind of pain...here are the before and afters of the drivers 1/4 on my car.


Before:


After: (I kid you not the bondo was up to 2 inches thick

[QuarterHorse]

Re: My '67 Dart 2 Door Post Project

Oh I know how that goes. I wish they would have taken progress pics when they zinc filled my passenger rear quarter. I know the bondo was an EASY 1/4 + inch thick for a good 3 feet! Now she's filled with zinc. :D
