? I am actually quite floored about this, and elated for those folks who seem to find it so hard to find these. Looks like our little early A cars are getting some well past due attention! Awesome!

'65 Formula S auto, silver with black stripe/interior. Sorry guys no pics right now will try to post some later. Car needs complete resto but is all there. On the back burner for now...

Very period correct and VERY inspirational! Well Done!

Love EVERYTHING about this car, just fantastic!

One of the most well done Signets I have seen, congrats on a superb build, just fantastic! A Signet will find it's way into my stable one day, I hope!

Brad, that is a different link... The one I'm talking about is right here on FABO under big block a body tech. I just posted on there so it should be at the top or close to it...

Yep the B body manifolds will fit, you can't run column shift and I think there may be some grinding necessary or something but I have seen it done... I'm a cheap bastard so I have to make it work lol

LOVE it! I'm with tmm and 340duster, clear it and run it! Good luck with her

Cool! Thanks Charlie, I'm tearing my 65 down to the bare bones and will be starting the metal work this spring. Keep us posted...

Go to the "Big block A-body Tech" forum... At the bottom of the first page is a post "Big block 1965 Dart 2 door post" or something like that... There is a guy down under with an early A running the manifolds. Looks bad ***, but I am going to just run a set of HP manifolds from a '69 road...

Hey Charlie, any progress on the tailgate panels? Hope the holidays were good for you.

I'm in the area, will be stationed at Dam Neck for a while... My daily driver is a '63 Dart right now so let me know where to find you after the snow clears.

Hey Aaron welcome to FABO. The carpet overlaps so the dart or valiant carpet should fit (guys chime in here if I'm off on that one). The doors are ALL the same on the four door cars as far as dimensions go, so the four door sedan weatherstripping will fit. As for the tires, it is a very...

Thanks Charlie, I have a parts wagon with the spare quarter glass already but I may get in touch with you on some of the smaller stuff. I can see why you went with the a500, I want to put one in my '74 Dodge pickup at some point... gas is killing me! Keep us posted on your upgrades...

Thanks Charlie! I wouldn't normally consider the expense of a large NOS part for an early a body car, but it's a factory v8 4 speed car so it has to be done right! And I need the manual crank set up as well... The skins are a HUGE deal for us wagon guys if they are the right dimensions...

I don't know, that sure looks like it would fit to me... I can't imagine them changing the dimensions of the gate that much but I could be wrong... Who wants to be the guinea pig? LOL

Removed double post

I have been looking for a tailgate for my 65 Dart wagon for 5 years now... I am very interested in this as well... The fact that you have an NOS one is just dumbfounding to me since I can't even find a used one that is decent out there... I thought about fabbing one up as well but if someone...

Yep, just like the 4 spd bezels for '65 darts they got from Year one and marked up, and the trunk floors they bought for early B bodies and almost doubled the price... HMMM... lets corner the market and rape the consumer because we have the cash to do so and that is the American way. I'll...

Yup, same thing I was thinking...

Yeah sazzle I will pass on the tailgate, but thanks anyway. Still a BUNCH of good parts there!

I NEED the TAIL GATE for my '65 Wagon, please put me first in line for that if you intend to sell it. Actually I need the quarter panels too if you are going to go that far with it...

Holy sheepshit, those look VERY promising for an early A... I sincerely hope those can work. They look like a Dakota header which I have heard can work with a little banging...

If only my rusty *** wagons were HALF as nice as the body on that thing! Nice ride Rockerdude

DAMMM slantscamp! That little beast looks killer with all that sticking out of the hood!!! NICE work!

OK back to the rear glass seals, I need two sets, just brought home another rusty homeless wagon today... efren I am behind you on this!

Yeah I believe that's the one! Just makes me wonder how many rare cars I walked by as a kid in the late 70s early 80s in junkyards, but hey, back then they were "just parts cars" right? lol I am just glad folks are saving them now, hope to see a real D Dart, maybe at Carlisle this year...

I went through this with my '66 Valiant... Unless you want to do autocross stay away from the 1" torsion bars. I will be taking mine out soon but I am going a different direction with the car anyway. If you want to drive it regularly don't put anything heavier than a stock 340 bar in there...

My favorite story on these was the one where the guy has pics of the one he found actually sitting in a junkyard... no letters or anything, amazing! I remember when I was younger Ed Miller told me about these cars (I had a 66 GT then) and I thought, surely I can find one right? lol Still...

Yep, az426 covered it pretty well Bob. To do it right there is some fairly difficult fabrication to do... Most of the ones I see have just been "persuaded" out of the way with a hammer, but then you run in to the wiper issue. In my opinion if you have to go to the trouble of moving the...
