nice day so we rolled her out. Worked on the front seats and mounting them and putting in a center council through to the back. Problems with the center council you can tell in the straight on pictures how the tunnel is off set so gotta figure what im doing there. in the works...

Got the seats "officially" mounted and put the door actuators in, a lot of people were saying how the cables eventually stretch out so we got some little blocks machined out and tapped so we could use a rod to pull the door so we wont have to worry about them stretching

That's gonna be badass!

One question though, Which door popper set (shaved handle kit, which ever you call it) Did you use for the Dart?

I've been pondering it and haven't heard of anyone using any specific brand aside from maybe Electric Life.

I got the kit from autoloc its in a lot of the magazines, they're cartoony lookin ads. The kit is awsome and works great. I got the 50lb. solenoids, they're more than enough to open the door without even using the little popper helpers. heres the link to it

little update. cut the holes in the hood for the air cleaners, nothings bolted down just sitting on the carbs for looks.ones taller cuz we just had two different size carbs and cleaners to throw on. they look small in the pics but they're nice and beefy in person.

Wasn't originally going to do this, but doing anything other than polishing them would be the lazy way out. Started sanding them and a lot more sanding to do, and then some more sanding.

Wow. That's incredible. Having just sold my camaro, there's two Darts I'm looking at and one is a 440. I had a 340 Duster back in the day and am getting fired up reading about your project.
