1974 Plymouth Valiant Scamp - Restoration is a strong word

Yesterday at the salvage yard, I grabbed an oil dipstick tube and dipstick from some random Mopar, and a license plate light with bracket from some random Mopar truck with a steel bumper. Today, I fitted the dipstick with the addition of a small bracket extension.

It’s been on my list for awhile to remove the rear bumper and cut that massive bracket down. I figured I could tackle that and fitting my new license plate light. The light bracket needed to be cut down a little, and bent significantly to make it work, but it looks pretty good off the car right now.

I had cleaned the trunk light switch and socket a few days ago. New 1004 lamps arrived today, so installed the lamp and reattached the socket. It works great!
