A shot for the detail freaks and resto crowd

Thank you. The last two cars I looked at had nothing in the fronts...where others have. Just thought it was weird. Thanks again.

LA plant Vs Hamtramack plant built maybe?

Dart interior door panel before and after

That's it I'm DONE kids. This car will probably sit, and sit some more.

I have a very serious personal matter to contend with and working on the car is meant to be an escape but suspect parts only stress you more. I'm skipping the car and concentrating more on me.

Thanks to George for coming by when he found I was upset this AM. I was in no mood for company but he helped get me out and my mind off the car.

I'm working on the `Cuda now, but I did locate some kick panels. It's not easily seen here but there's some minor discoloration and I am carefully removing on the drivers panel. My methods seems to be working

I'm about done repairing the panel. The picture shows what I used to polish into the grain

Are those 69 RR backup lenses in the kickpanel?

Brent, they're just vintage metal speaker grilles, he had a similar set of 6x9's in the rear package tray.

here are more misc. parts, I can't compare them to the originals since they were MIA

Dante of Dante's Mopar Parts is always a first rate vendor. Without any hesitation he offered a "the customer comes first" solution to the headliner issue. I have to include this because none of our projects are built without parts.

We've all had issues with incorrect, poor quality, non fitting parts etc. So it's always nice to know what others experiences were, this is one of mine where I'm happy to say I highly recommend him.





EDIT: There is currently a Gold 69 340 4spd Convertible GTS on ebay. This shot shows what appears to be the same aftermarket speakers. Were these a dealer ad on item or just very common in that era?

While comparing notes with other 69 340 4spd Swinger owners I found Saddle color interior cars that came with black carpet. I'm trying to find info on this. Maybe stocking many colors in manual configuration would have been costly? This GTS has a gold carpet. I have lots of thoughts but would love the facts.

I'm done and will be letting this car go. PERIOD

When?

When I finally get a suitable headliner and install it and a windshield.... I don't want someone telling me what a tragedy those items are and then offering me $100 for the car.

George do you want to park your van outside?

Throwing in some props for board member Domingo. I had contacted an ebay seller I didn't know (or so I thought) about some parts. I got a reply from someone who knew who I was he then dealt with me off ebay and made me a great deal. I wanted to say THANKS for being treated real well by a fellow moparts member

Hang in there we all have those moments.

Not just this going on. This is supposed to be fun. Soon I'll be down for maybe up to two months and little will be done to the cars.

Right now if I just stored this car elsewhere I'd get the Cuda done

Thet are never done!

Bob cars are just cars. There will always be another one. Take care of whats important in life. You're right, when its not fun its time to move on.

The saga continues after returning 2 REM headliners, (I've been at this since July) and then ordering and awaiting a Legendary HL today I got a status update.... and find that they are looking for a supplier for the material in buckskin.

Everything I try to do to this thing just seems to be a struggle
