Default Re: Original hemi dart information

I fiqure now is a good of time as any to dispell the misinformation of many years about the acid dipping of tin that were installed on the LO & BO cars. The parts I speak of consist of the front bumper & doors. They were STAMPED from thinner guage tin,NOT, acid dipped.Reason for that statement is I have had parts acid dipped, & when they come back, it is very evident . All the edges come to a near point because the acid is eating away at them.
I have looked at ALOT of original doors & bumpers over time & all the original parts are very easy to pick out. They all have crisp square edges, everywhere.
Just a little triva for ya's to help set the record staight
(I hope)
