Man that Dart is the best. The details. The paint. I have to ask-what is the carburetor? I see it has a manual choke. |

: Questions for everyone: Look at the pictures of the Dodge ... is it just me that think the black top looks just "right" for this colour combo? Im going for Tan/brown top only becoz if black it will be super hot. But... this black top looks NICE to me! What do you think? Black or Tan top?? Comments pls... |

Black will show less dirt & mildew in a few years, but tan may match interior better & be a bit cooler. Be warned; color choice is above my pay grade, just ask Mrs. wjajr; AKA fashion police… LOL My fashion fubar rap sheet is extensive going back over fifty years. Nice looking job! Bill |

Excellent work done by you so far, glad to see someone who takes time and patience to restore a car. As a comment I can see that you replaced the original steering wheel of two arms, with a three-arm model of 67, I had a 68 Valiant with that particular wheel and power steering, and I never liked the feel and ride, little or many mismatches you can have in the steering wheel housing becomes more noticeable with a heavy one, the driving feel greatly improved with a lighter steering wheel of three arms o a 65 Barracuda, feeling much stronger, not create excessive levers by weight. Congratulations and greetings from Mexico. <img src='http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/6891/dscn2926.jpg' border='0'/> |
