    I have the interior of my 1963 Dart GT hardtop stripped for restoration. Both front and rear windshields have been redone with Steele Rubber gaskets and, after much struggle and returns to the glass shop, are now watertight. While testing with a shower nozzle on the hose, I noticed that the...

    Spectra CU527 22" radiator/'69-72 Dart dimensions

    This is a bit off-beat, but my '63 Dart GT 225 /6 has a trashed and incorrect radiator and I'm trying to decide which way my (cheap) budget can take me. I'm not a restoration purist, and the original "big tank" unit is long gone so recoring is not an option. I have done a bit of performance...

    the accompanying pics are of an automatic trans currently installed in a 1966 Dodge Dart GT with a later slant six engine (five freeze plugs, 280xxxx casting number, tapered rib behind the water pump housing, spark plug tube head). It's difficult to get a clear shot of the driver's side pan...

    '63 manual trans engine swap with '74 automatic

    A bit complex, but here goes: I have a nice '63 Dart GT with an A833 (Jan 1972 production date on data pad) installed in the dim past by a previous owner....no details available. I believe the car has the original somewhat tired 225 /6. I have an opportunity to buy a '66 Valiant with a nicely...

    new carpet/accelerator question

    Installing carpet in my '63 Dart GT; the interior was pretty gutted when I bought the car, so I have no frame of reference for how the carpet fits at the accelerator pedal. Search of this forum yielded a helpful post about carpet interfering with WOT, but not the issue I'll describe below...

    No luck so far on locating a source to replace the 10 plastic push-in trim clips for the roof/quarter panel trim on my'63 Dart GT. Haven't pulled the side moldings off yet, but I suspect there will many more underneath. I was able to remove the clips by drilling a hole in the center push-in...

    help needed with '63 Dart GT trim removal

    I'm prepping my semi-beater for a two-stage rattle can paint job (local paint shop matched the paint in base coat and loaded it in rattle cans) and would like to remove as much of the trim as is practical. I understand a lot of the '63 GT trim is year/model specific and REALLY don't want to mess...

    Removed from a 1964 Dart parts car and for sale is a complete Kelsey-Hayes small bolt pattern front disc brake set up. No history on the car or parts, but judging by the accumulated dirt/crud on the car, the setup had been in use for a long, long time. Included are spindles, bearings, upper...

    Are these hood scoops stock? Or even Mopar?

    Just bought this '63 Dart GT and am pretty skeptical about the originality of the two bolt-on hood scoops. The car had original (extremely greasy and stained) fiberglass insulation intact in place which I removed to assess the damage: the fasteners look pretty original so I'm puzzled...

    Success with the early A-body tunnel hump

    So I found a very nice gentleman on local CL with a '65 Barracuda factory four-speed car with a stripped out interior who allowed me to splash a mold of the tunnel hump. I had to drive to San Jose and work in a warehouse for a limited amount of time, so I used 6" orthopedic plaster and mold...

    Hi! I'm new to both Mopar and this forum, andI realize this topic has been discussed several times before but I still don't see any resolution. I recently acquired a 1963 Dart GT, originally a 225 with a column shift three-speed, that was converted to a A833 four-speed. The basic work was...
