1968 Dodge Dart

This car originally came from the Southwest and still retains all of its original panels. The body was media blasted top and bottom. It was painted in PPG DBC base and  Concept clear. QQ1 color code and black in the engine bay and trunk. The bottom of the car is painted in grey single stage urethane to resemble the original primer color these cars came with. Almost all  surfaces were either gun painted or powder coated. As can be seen by the VIN number this car is not one of the original 80 Hemi Darts. It is simply the best. most correct clone done to date.
