Finally it was time for the paint, International red. I used a set of newer valve covers to cover the heads when painting the engine. The black headers by some company will need a removed oil filter. @65 dart man, what supplier? I just wish that Offenhauser would have some answer on the...

We'll see when we get to that point.

I spoked last night with Offenhauser who will give it a try to get more input. Found a story in a motor magazine about a Dart Charger 273 built by the owner for drag racing. That decal on the front fender, could that Racer brown camshaft been added by Offenhauser.......? We'll see next week.

When introducing the 273 in the model year it was first a two barrel carb at 180 hp. For the 1965 model year Chrysler introduced the 273 in two versions. A two barrel 273 still at 180 hp and then the new 273 four barrel engine. 235 hp, Carter AFB carb on a cast iron four barrel intake, hp...

The speaker on this one was dead. Will glass bead it and a new coat of paint. The clips that hold the wiring to the neutral start switch was there. Restored the cable and mounted it the way it was installed. Even the driver side exhaust manifold brackets were there. The accelrator wire is...

Super mice car you found. What's the plan with it?

Great work Kegan!

Sounds like a plan. Will follow your build.

Nice work Don :thumbsup:

That looks great, beautiful color. What's your plan?

I would go black. Such a great restoration demands black front end components.

Top of dash painted. What a differens compare to shiny black. Adding speaker and wiring for it and we're ready.

Finally the steering column is assembled and ready. I found a little hook to told the wiring in place. Never seen it before.

Looks great Don! Can't wait to see the engine/tranny combo there! You'll save alot of time when you can assemble like you do!

Thanks!

Thanks! Now I know what I'm looking for.

Front of the instrument panel ready. Next the backside. I found the cover lock for the fuse box. But is there a cover lock for the push bottom mecanism?

Can you get a picture for me? I don't know what to search for!

It's almost done. Need a nice dash pad for it but have a lead on one in Finland. Should it some kind of black plastic part in the corners holding the lens?

Have been thinking about that. First Nationals and then WPC meet in Windsor.

Finally without those studded tires!

Dang, that thing should have moved pretty good!

I could use them. I might be in Windsor, Ont in early August for the WPC Clud meet.

Today another great time re-assemble of the instrument panel! All the small steps is progress big time!

Today the taxi is back in former glory. Had it through the state inspection and no comments. -That's a cab I remember from when I was young, said the inspector. Dad had one of those when I was a kid. Talk about a coincidence!!

Today I bought a bunch of NOS early A-body stuff. I found the upper and lower trunk mouldings as well as one complete taillight assy. One turn signal assy and one headlight bezel. There were even some NOS Valiant stuff I have to go through. I just wish I could find this rear black resonator!

Yesterday I restored the power steering pump and painted it. Mounting it was easy but the power steering pressure hose was different then 1965. I did an extra loop and I cleared the K-frame and inner fender.

Added the tranny and the engine in the K-frame today. Life is good.

Well done!

Yesterday I brought the engine in to the shop. Completly rebuilt. Added the exhaust manifolds incl the gaskets. Plus the small brackets on the drivers side. Started with the 2K red and it turned out great. Today I started with the small odds and ends.
