Re: 1968 Dodge Dart
Well, after a "long winters' nap"...Lucy is out again! Plans for this year include Hotchkis torsion bars, resealed windshield (had a nasty leak that took out my fusebox back in November)...and miles and miles of /6 driving fun!

Re: 1968 Dodge Dart
Those side marker lights are perfect fit for the end of the bedrails on the chevy trucks.

Re: 1968 Dodge Dart
Well, not much of an update, but I finally got new gaskets installed on the the front and rear glass (it no longer leaks! ), and am replacing points today. Just picked up on a mystery oil leak...I'm thinking the valve cover needs re-gasketed.
Anyways, a pic:

Re: 1968 Dodge Dart
My next project? Control arm bushings and shocks! Seems 40-year-old suspension parts do eventually wear out...
Ordered the parts today, planning on next Wednesday evening to put it all together. In the meantime, last fill up I hit 18.5 mpg to and from Hershey, PA! Not too shabby, I'd say.
