I reached a point I was happy with on the 72 Duster and sold it.
I picked it up as a barely running carport space taker upper and brought it back to a dependable cruiser.
Beginning -
End -
I found this 70 Dart in Florida and struck a deal.
It's got a healthy 360 with a TCI streetfighter 727. 8 1/4 rear with a stronger cover.
The trunk was pretty grungy and I figured the rest of the interior was the same under the carpet.
Step 1 - Wire brush everything to loosen crud and vacuum
Step 2 - Simple Green and wipe down floor
Step 3 - Rust Converter to help out with surface oxidation
Step 4 - Prime
Step 5 - Paint
Step 6 - Dynamat floor and dynapad cardboard pass through.
I also installed 3 pt retractable seat belts and new seats to replace the old green lap belts and blue APC seats.
Grill was a bit tired and I wanted to see what turning everything white to black would look like.
First time using plastidip. I made a few mistakes that I'll go back and fix. I learned that you need to pull the tape while the dip is still wet to get a crisp line. I also didn't get the rood as uniform as I'd like. I'll hit again later but it's good enough for now. Took 5 cans to do the scoops, stripe, and roof.
Planning on lowering it a bit and tinting the windows next.
