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...

First Dart Charger I’ve seen based in Arizona. Great to hear the same guy has kept and maintained it all these years. Where in Arizona is it? If it’s ever at a meet, or show I’d like to see it in person. We have several shows a year here in Lake Havasu. I hope I didn’t miss it if it was here...

Thanks, Ulf. The quality of my work is strictly amateur, especially compared to some of the cars I’ve seen FABO, like yours. I’m hoping to end up with a reasonably nice looking car that runs and drives well. Right now, I’m going to go back and do all the finish welding that needs to be done, and...

Not now, I hope, Ulf. A better question might be, “was there any metal on the body?” As of now, not counting the hood, fenders, doors, and trunk lid (replaced by a previous owner) I have replaced the floor pans, trunk floor pan and drop offs, shock mount, most of the wheel wells, and all...

You just addressed one of my concerns. The car rolled fine on the adaptors and wheels I welded up until I was ready for the rotisserie. Those wheels came from HF and worked well. I had thought about buying some pneumatic wheels from the same place, but hadn’t thought about leaving the original...

Finally got my ‘65 Dart GoGo clone on the rotisserie. I purchased the rotisserie seven years ago thinking I’d be using it within a year. The hardest part of mounting it was making that adaptors and trying to mount so it wouldn’t be top or bottom heavy. I was also trying to mount the car so it...

That’s what I wanted to do. I just got my car on a rotisserie after seven years of work. Since I had used Photo Garage to post my earlier pics, I wanted to make sure I was putting them in the right place. The “read first” instructions at the top were confusing to me. Later, I noticed that the...

My apologies to everyone. It started as a PM, but I got a message saying that person wasn’t taking messages, or something like that, so I replied to their last post. I was just trying to find out if Member’s Restorations was the correct place to post or my Garages due to my confusion about the...

Adam, Note: I tried to post this as per the “read this” note, but it wouldn’t work, so I’m trying it here anyway. My apologies if this isn’t correct. As per the instructions at the top of the forum for members restorations I am sending you a PM. I don’t post much on FABO, but do read a lot...

Take the offer to have someone knowledgable inspect it. After six hard years of replacing pretty much every major piece of sheetmetal on my Dart, I probably exhibit the worse case scenario of “sight unseen.” Pictures just can’t tell the whole story. A couple of years ago I flew to the East coast...

1965 Dart GoGo, 4-speed. My senior year (1966-67) of high school car. Wish I still had it. Trying to build one. Would have bought one, but they’re hard to find 58 years later. The picture on my avatar is the only one I have. The other picture is the one I’m working on.

Check out Facebook Marketplace. I have seen several there lately.

This is good information, but I have a question. Would a build sheet or anything else indicate if a ’65 A body came with an 8.75? I guess I’m wondering if you put the correct 8.75 in a ‘65, would it technically be correct? My Dart GT was built late in the model year, but it had a 7.25 when I got...

I looked at my ‘65 Dart on the lift this week to see if I would need to cut holes or re-route anything if I installed the a set of connectors. On my car it looks like everything might clear. If not, I plan to cut them prior to installation. I’d like to be able to angle the holes to match the...

That car is so gorgeous. I hope you make it Havasu sometime for one of our shows. I was never much of a Valiant guy until I saw yours. Color, stance, wheels and proportions. It’s just perfect!

If you prefer a smaller population with lots of special-interest cars, you should visit Lake Havasu. There are at least 20-30 rods/collector/kit cars in my neighbor hood. Sitting on our porch on a weekend is like watching a car show, or, the beginning of an off-road race since the street...

Thanks for everyone’s replies. I ordered a set from Layson’s. Merry Christmas to everyone!

I love a picture of a happy home!

Thanks for posting this. There are so many cool places and roads here in Arizona. They look even better with some classic Mopars driving on them. One of my favorites is 89A from Prescott to Jerome. Nice cars! Wish I had known about the show. We have several nice shows here in Lake Havasu every...

Thanks. I just got through searching their website. I will go back and look again. Not sure where the page you posted is located, but I’ll look again. I also sent them a message with the picture in my post. Thanks again.

Thanks, Ulf. I couldn‘t find them on their site. I will look again.

I’m looking for a source for the ”Candy Cane” trim fasteners used on a 1965 Dart. The fasteners appear to be made of nylon and are similar to other fasteners used in various automotive applications. So far I’ve looked at Layson’s, Classic Industries, DMT, and others, to no avail. If you know of...
