The Dart and the redlines

[moparclown]

Heres a couple of pic's of the rear wheel's all painted and capped.The story goes like this----I posted in the parts wanted section,I wanted some Dodge redline poverty cap's and Barry (Alaskan T/A) contacted me and said he had 3.And the same nite I scored 5 more on e-bay.I wanted these for my Dart,but now have a set for my Challenger also.I will paint the front wheels this weekend.Barry is an awsome guy and I hope that one day I can meet him person ------The Clown

Barry is the man.   

Those look great clown.  Looks like the dart could use a touch up now.

I have a 71-74 left quarter repair panel I would like to get rid of. It is an old cheap stamping, but if you wanted it cut to section the bottom, it may be good for that. If you are interested, shoot me a PM. I will take some pics for you if you need them. i also have some other misc. dart parts.

They look great and so will the rest of the car when it's all that same color!

Thanks guys
I have really fallen hard for this Dart,I paid $250 bucks for it and will do the econo paint job with a roller.I really appreciate the offer for some sheetmetal Rallyechall,but this is gonna be a learning process for my 10 year old son.I want to teach him how to fab some steel and patch the rust,he will also be trying his hand at welding.I have been looking forward to teaching him some of what I have learned.I would like your input on one thing in particuliar--Do you think he is to young to be welding?I will stand behind him on anything he wants to become,but feel it never hurts to have a good trade to fall back on.

I couldn't wait till the weekend,I went into work early this morning and dismounted the tires and hand sanded the rims,primed and painted em.

Clown, 10 isnt too young to start welding.   

I was welding before that (not that I have improved much since     Really, I probably havent     )

Anyways, if you want him to really try, even to like it, you have to make it easy.  Like, if you dont have one already, get an auto-darkening helmet.  When we got one, I thought I was in heaven.  Havent used the old one since. 

Good luck.

I agree. you are never too young, and the younger the better as they are more apt to learn and remember how to do it easier. I learned way too late. I could have had some real nice rides in my day if I had learned years ago.

I agree, get him started now. We need all the young  people we can get in the hobby to keep a good thing going.
