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!

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.
