Thanks for the replies. I already have a lot of "Road Kill" sound deadener material installed, but next spring I'll do a better job by installing more, especially in the trunk and quarters. I'm also going to find out about the US Car Tool stiffening kits and see if there is a way to reinforce...

It's not bad on my restored and modified daily driver '64 200, but it is noticeable at in-town street speeds. I've been told that brand Cs use some kind of counter balance weights in their convertible fenders to dampen movement, but that sounds like something that needs calculated engineering...

In the late summer of 1964, I worked at a Chrysler-Plymouth dealership in North Dakota. The franchise owner and his sales manager attended the 1965 model year introduction event in Minneapolis. When they returned, they brought us records of all the music used in the new Chrysler and Plymouth...

My memory sucks, but I think it was around 2003...a couple of years after I got the car, but I don't remember exactly. Their newer and smaller units would make it easier now. Seven or eight years ago I changed the console and HVAC controls to look a little more like something Mopar than...

Yes, I put one in my '64 Valiant convertible several years ago, long before they offered kits for specific cars. It was a tight fit, but worked fine and only problem so far is a refrigerant leak that I have to fix before next summer. I did a write-up if interested. Vintage Air

Guess I'd be crazy not to name my own novel as my favorite. The plot is not for everyone, but the reviews are good. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005C14UDU/?tag=joeychgo-20

'64-'65 Barracuda Passenger-side fender located in Ponder, TX. Includes Barracuda script and wheel-well stainless. The outside metal is nice, but the headlight bucket has rusted through. Remaining inside metal is reasonably solid, but there are spots that will probably need repair. Best offer...

Part number 2524148 RH. Chrome is in excellent condition. Lens is crazed, but not broken. Best offer over $50 Plus shipping. Part is in Denton County Texas.

We've built and lived in three different houses in the past 20 years. The first had a standard hot water tank on each end of the house. It worked well, but both failed within a month after the six-year warranty ran out, so you just double your installation and monthly expenses. Our contractors...

Take a deep breath and be prepared for controversy. The folks who do all the work are usually great....some of the participants are not. I did it for several years, but never again.

I don't know what years are covered, but when I painted my '64 Valiant, the old PPG color chart my auto paint store had in their history books listed interior colors on the back of the chart. It gave the location, code and texture, and everything they mixed was a perfect match.

You would be surprised by how flexible a cleaned one is after shedding that outer layer of dry, hardened crap.

If it's high MPG you want, the '75-'76 slants are not the best candidates. I bought a '75 Valiant Brougham brand new, and it was the only A-body that I really disliked. I traded a '68 Fury 318 that got 14-15 city and 18-22 on trips, for the plush, but woefully underpowered Valiant that averaged...

I've tried several things, but found lacquer thinner works best on the ones I cleaned. Solvent proof rubber gloves are mandatory unless you are willing to put up with stained hands until it wears off.

I bought a new '75 Brougham 4-door slant, and sadly, it was the least favorite Mopar I ever owned. It was plush, comfortable and handled great. It was also thirsty, troublesome, and gutless.

DupliColor...Chrysler Industrial Red Available all over around here, and it was a perfect match for my '64 Slant Six.

I have adjustable, generic versions in my '64. The excess length, and even the entire belt can be hidden between the cushions when not in use.

B&D were great thirty years ago, but everything I bought from them in the past few years is junk. Craftsman used to be the best for price and quality for the hobbyist, but the last two 1/4" ratchets I bought lasted only a few days. Even "professional grade" brands are a mixed bag when it comes...

I brush apply gasoline to remove most of the gunk from any carbon covered parts, then a final spray cleaning with carb cleaner. I once had a parts cleaning tank with a pump, and bought bulk solvent five gallons at a time from NAPA, but it didn't seem to work any better than gas. The water based...

Tried it on my window regulator adjusting nuts. All the parts appear to be zinc plated and the screws that are corroded and wouldn't loosen with PB Blaster won't break loose with the wax treatment either. It may not work on corrosion, but since it seems to work on rust, it's a great trick to know!

Now I'll see if it will help remove some bolts on a window regulator bracket that I've been soaking and cursing for days. Thanks for posting!

I've seen a 392 Hemi in a motorcycle, so it will fit, but as someone who installed a first generation Hemi in a '55 Plymouth, I can say that there is no way I would ever again put more than 800 pounds over the front wheels of a light vehicle not designed for that much weight. It flew, but with...

Here are a few things for the Valiant that should be the same. Search Results

If I remember correctly, you have to pull the steering wheel and some parts inside the housing, but there is definitely a replaceable bulb.

Shape and pattern look like the ones I had in my '75 Valiant Brougham, but I don't recall that color combination, so they have probably been re-covered.

I bought three new 2-door Horizons...'79, '82 and '87. The VW-based engine in the '79 began burning oil at about 70k, but the 2.2s in the later ones were great. All had automatics, and they were flawless. All got well over 30 mpg in my 25-mile daily commute of mixed driving. My only complaints...

Unless your old one is torn or cracked, it can probably be salvaged. Lots of rags, a flat blade screwdriver, a can of lacquer thinner and a few hours of dirty, smelly wiping and scraping can make old parts flexible and looking almost new.

New Vintage USA The gauges in my '64 are mounted in the OEM gauge housing that is modified quite a bit. They sit behind the bezel as I didn't want to cut up the bezel
