Wow! That does look good. The plastic was mentioned, but I wasn’t real sure about it. I am concerned about cutting and shaping the foam. That looks tricky. My main purpose in getting the seats done was just to give me more time to work on my coupe. I’m getting older and want to devote as much...

I’ve thought about it. It’s just something I’d like to farm out so I can devote more time to my other car. I’m willing to spend some money, but what they want locally just seems high. The videos on how to do it are pretty good. The buckets are the worst part. I plan to do everything else, and...

I have a complete Legendary interior yet to be installed for my ‘65 Dart GT convertible. Carpet, kick panels, front buckets and back seats, as well as a new boot for the top. Two local upholstery shops wanted $2500-$2800 to install the interior, or just $1000 to do the buckets. Seemed a little...

My new lug nuts from Summit came today. Three packages of LH (9400-4) and three packages of RH (9500-4). The chrome isn’t great but they appear to fit. McGard lug nuts from Jeg’s were mentioned in an earlier post, so I went to their site. I couldn’t find any McGard nuts that were 7/16” RH or LH...

Thanks. I didn’t read the first posts correctly and I thought the offset bushings were also adjustable. Now I understand they just give you more range - if they are installed correctly. Didn’t mean to hijack the post, but this was good information I didn’t have about the Moog bushings. Now I...

I’m familiar with how suspensions work and basic front end alignment, but, after looking at the Moog bushings, I’m curious how you would adjust them once they are installed.Do you strike the tabs on the sleeve, or do you simply install them in a particular position? This is a dumb question to...

This thread has been very helpful to me. When I bought my wheels and tires several years ago I had this same discussion with my local tire store. After several calls to their distributor for Cragar wheels they told me that the conical lug nuts were all that were available and I had to use them...

Do you have them for a 1965 Dodge Dart?

Not 100% sure, but it looks like a Clay Smith Cams decal. Wish I still had one! Beautiful car and a great story. That garage looks full of very nice toys!

Thanks. I’ll check these options out. I have a ‘65 coupe and convertible to do, and spare harness from my donor car. Everything works on the convertible, but some of the connectors are a little toasty, and its’ harness has been repaired in a couple of places. My coupe is on the rotisserie and...

Does anyone make a full harness for a ‘65 A-body? Those two vendors only go back to ‘67 on their website.

Thanks. I’ve already received my frame connectors.

Thanks, Rusty for checking on this. The price seems reasonable compared to some of the products I have seen in the past. I was just getting ready to do something with my new Ram truck and travel trailer, so this is very helpful.

Somewhere along the line I lost most of the body tools I kept from my Snap-On truck, but I still have all of my dollies. They’re getting a good workout on my Dart. I’m not a body man by trade, just by hobby, but I can tell you that cheap body hammers and dollies just don’t work the same, or five...

$1500 for the back glass only. Plus shipping. ECS can’t get the rear glass for a ‘65 Dart, just the front, at $450 + shipping. I will check out Classic. Thanks. AMD doesn’t show my glass on their site.

This is the first time I’ve had a problem with this type of tire, and I’ve been buying them a while. How long? Attached pictures are of my ‘71 T-top in my parent’s front yard in Phoenix. Fall of ‘74, I think. Sorry about the poor quality. I didn’t want to take the pictures out of the frame...

Just went downstairs and took this photo. I’ve worked on these letters quite a bit.

Have a bottle, didn’t work. Also tried Comet and an aggressive scrub brush. I noticed the brown color when I picked up the car from tire store but just figured they forgot to clean them. The letters were just stained from the factory, I guess.

I’ve got a set that were brown since new. The car sat for a year and when I went to clean them up realized they weren’t going to. Pretty unhappy, but figured I was stuck. That was 5-6 years ago. They don’t have a thousand miles on them.

I’d like to know what you find out. I wasn’t aware of ECS as a vendor and checked their web site. The best price I have gotten for a rear windshield from a well-know vendor was $1500. ECS shows $500 for the rear and $450 for the front. Thanks for the information.

There’s been quite a bit of early a-body stuff on FB recently. Prices vary quite a bit, but I’ve seen some deals.

I thought the video was inaccurate and biased. But I have to make a comment about the 7.25 rear end reliability. It’s been nearly 58 years since I bought my ‘65 GoGo in September of 1966. I can’t recall the mileage on it, but it was low, probably less than 7,000 miles. I beat the hell out of...

Year?

Ordered a set of USCT’s for my coupe yesterday. I’ll post my installation when I’m done. Info here helped me to decide what to buy.

I have one of the 2.5T HF jacks and have had good luck with it. I wish HF would make one with an easily-removable saddle like my old Astro had. There was a standard throat on those that would take accessories like the HF door holder. The Astro finally died after 40+ years and I was counting on...

We go to our cabin near Flagstaff (Munds Park) in the summer. Thanks for your post. I’m may put A/C in one, or both, of my Darts and I’ve gotten some good ideas and tips from the responses. Very few things are really plug and play and it was good to learn about ways to trouble-shoot various issues.

Yes.

If you want to really test it, bring it to Lake Havasu in July! I’ve seen 125 on the dash OAT.

A real wolf in sheep’s clothing! That’s hot-rodding for sure!

I wish I had known. I was coming back to Lake Havasu from our cabin in Munds Park Saturday and it would have been an easy detour. We often go to the Costco in Prescott when we are in Munds for the Summer and I go to the VJMC meet in PV from time to time. I’ll keep an eye out for any events in...
