I'm asking who makes decent lighweight fibreglass body parts for 1965 and 1966 Darts. help
I've search on the net but sometimes asking others like us who race those cars is better to get recommendations based on who bought and use those parts help
Thanks in Advance up bow

I can't speak to the quality but, Sled city makes parts

Cab you probably already know this, but many 65 body parts don't interchange with 66.

I'm wanting to use a 1966 Dart front end on my 1965 Dart because the 1966 front bumper looks like they will work better on blocking air going under the car above 150 MPH after adding a front spoiler to that bumper luck
I know those cars are not the best choice for going fast based on the aerodynamics design, but I have the car and it is already back half to SFI 7.50 certs with coil over 4 link rear suspension using a cut down Dana 60 and A arm with coil over front suspension shruggy

Cab, my 65 is running without a front bumper, 154 best mph, 150 most past runs. I have never felt Ill at ease with the car at speed. And actually oiled a slick at 150+ , got seriously sideways and saved it . The car doesn't look too bad without the bumper, and now I run without the hood as well. Makes servicing a snap since EVERYTHING is up front, fuel, battery, rad.

Greg, as you mentioned the battery is up front, what size is it, and what do you have for a battery cut off ?
TIA up
