Default Re: Original hemi dart information

Thanks for posting. Very interesting indeed…

Since the engine compartment is painted black, (pictures above) and warranty disclaimer decal is put on, I want to think car will not return to the paint boot, and will be delivered this way.
I always thought door jambs were painted black as well, but I dug out this early pic of Landy´s auto Dart showing maybe this wasn´t the case. Or maybe some were painted black and some were in primer… on the other hand, I have never see any signs in old pics, of black paint anywhere inside the car. So it makes sense door jambs were left in primer too.

Second pic is of the same car, and how we are used to see them.

I also come to think of the Vanke Barracuda, restored by Hodge Restorations a few years ago. Car has door jambs in primer, and probably for a reason…

As for the paper on the hump of the BO29 shown above, my guess is it is the hand written “build check sheet”.
