I thought it was getting ready to paint, and now your taking more parts off!!!
I know, I know... Well I have some fender work to do that will be easier with them off the car. it also allows me access to the forward rocker/hinge post areas for inspection/repairs. It lets me sand down these areas and get them painted better than I could with the doors and fenders on.
The other thing is that when I look at all the work that has been done this far.... Well I just have to do things right with the rest of the car too. Seperating the inner and outer fenders to clean and prime them where they sandwich together is a very good thing to do for peace of mind.
I'm also leaning towards pulling the engine now too so I can do a better job painting the inner fenders and firewall.
This thread is like a soap opera, but a helluva lot more entertaining! Keep it comin' Dave. Great job!

Dart Swinger, hot 340 with a 4 speed and 4.10 gears, not much going to pass you.
All it takes is a some long green.
Anyone with the cash can amble down to their local Mercedes dealer, buy a sedan that their grandmother could drive, and yet that same car would destroy the Dart in any performance measure.
That was some marvelous footage - great sounds!!! Thanks for sharing it. But, with all due respect, shouldn't you be out in the shop working on 'the' car?
ah the coolest days of drag racin when super stocks morphed into one piece funny cars the FX cars had acid dipped steel bodies with the wheel bases shifted as far forward as possible
The Hurst Hemi -Under Glass 'cude was made to race but wheelstanded too easily and ( with the Little Red Wagon ) created the wheelstander show cars.
Just drop a blown Hemi in the back of either one!
Some great names there, Bill Jenkins still in an Impala! The Ramchargers in the candy striped cars. Bill Lawton...
That was when the bug bit me and I ended up in a B/gas dragster all 92" of it! LOL
