has anyone ever tried...
« on: November 06, 2007, 10:25:09 PM »

have any of you ever tried to convert your 70-72 dart to a 67-69 dart or visa versa? don't get me wrong i love my 70 dart buit i always liked the way the 67-69's looked. thought about going 1/2 and 1/2 too just to throw people off and be different, but idk. any thoughts or ideas? i found this that might work but idk...

The entire front end can be swapped on, but the rear is welded on and the tail panel/trunk area is completely different.

I thought I saw a really cool sublime green 69 dart about 2 weeks ago in the city here. then I walked up closer and noticed it was originally a 74. turned right around and walked away. Nothing against a 74 but as far as I'm concerned somebodies 69 could use that front sheetmetal.

friend and i found 2 '68s at the local pick apart, got parts from both front ends and put them on his scamp. now he has a extra front clip for his duster and a really wierd looking scamp/dart, its looks pretty cool but he needs to finish the car or prime it or something. its parked in front of my house and its an eyesore
