    Hello, A couple of questions...

    My 1st restoration, 1963 Valiant Convertible. Q1) what is the 'caulk' that goes around the metal seams (see pic), and where is the best place to get it. Should it be installed before or after paint? ...the original stuff looked like tar. Q2) I have tried to punch holes through the floor pan...

    Hello from norcal- introduction

    Was referred to this site by 'Art' at a car parts counter, he has a 1967 Dart (nice car BTW). My attempt to revive a 1963 Valiant convertible is why I am here. New to MOPAR's, I was always a Ford guy but things change. The car runs but needs some TLC. It was bought in 2007 and has been sitting...
