I have a 1963 Dodge Dart GT convertible and hardtop both with medium blue iridescent interiors. How do I order the kick panel speakers, glove boxes and rear side panel trim covers for convertibles? --Walt Jackson

Is there a source for these? I need a 1" longer stud. tia --Walt Jackson

It's not about a generic wheel cover. It's how to keep the 63-64 distinctive Dart wheel cover on the car. At one time I found a fairly flat 14" wheel cover, cut the center out, and installed the 13" wheel cover. I kept losing them in turns because the assembly flexed too much. So then I went...

Apparently 13" wheels cannot be bolted directly to KH disc brakes. So, how to attach the 13" wheel covers to 14" or 15" wheels on my 1963 Dodge Dart GT equipped with those brakes? tia --Walt Jackson

This can be made to work using 1" wheel adaptors (too large for spacers), but adaptors are dangerous. Is there another option, such as using the late 13" wheels that attach to the 10" drum 8.75 rear? Would changing the offset work? TIA --Walt Jackson

Please put me down to purchase the following when you are ready: 2 glove boxes 2 kick panel sets 1 set of the side and top rear convertible panel trim plastic 1 set of the rear armrest for the rear convertible side panel 1 set of the rear convertible side panels. Very impressive work! --Walt...

You can run 1 inch wheel adapters (not spacers) with the Kelsey Hayes brakes. That's what I do, but I'm tempted to send my wheels to Stockton Wheels or Wheel Vintiques and just have the offset changed which would provide the necessary clearance. --Walt Jackson

There were two types of Mopar units offered in ‘65. The dealer installed unit consisted of a self-contained evaporator/blower unit (“knee-knocker”) not unlike what every other company offered, except that it was quite long and intruded into the passenger foot space a great...

I have the Layson's piece on one of my 63 Darts. It's modified so that you can insert a rubber stopper without losing the stopper in the tank. The stopper seals the end of the pipe so that no gas ever spills out. It works quite well. I've never tried the modified gas caps that...

There's a forum dedicated to this topic. http://www.bigblockdart.com/ --Walt Jackson

Note that the firewall is the same in the 1963 Dart and in the 64 dart until midyear when the v8 was introduced. I posted this in this forum on 2-23-06: I have a 1963 Dodge Dart GT convertible with a 225 cu in slant six. I purchased the Classic Air system for my car and have installed...

>I'm questioning why a power top was available on models that didn't have power windows.< No compact car sold in America during that era had power windows or door locks. Such accessories were rare on the midsize cars and optional on the full size and luxury cars. That didn't change until...

It&#8217;s easy, really. I did this conversion over 30 years ago! The only difference between the manual and power top mechanism is the bracket the cylinders bolt to. It has extra metal that juts out, with a hole to accommodate the bolt that goes through the eye of the power top cylinder...

I installed an early to mid-sixties Chrysler/Imperial antenna. It looks identical to the manual antenna on my '63 Dart, only a little bigger in diameter. --Walt Jackson

I ordered one 2 months ago, through Kanter. Kanter was the only one to list it, explaining that it was in process via Steele and I should not expect delivery until June. At that time Steele would not sell to me direct. In response to your post, I called Steele. They confirmed they have my...

>Will the 10 inch drum brake ball joints work from my 66 Cuda< Yes. As noted above, the 9 inch drum brake ball joints won't, but the 10 inch and disc brake ball joints are one and the same. I've done this swap many times. --Walt Jackson

Legendary Auto Interiors does not have the door panels for '63. JustDashes does. Just make sure the carpet used is the original color withe the black fleck running through it. I believe it's called Tuxedo carpet. They'll argue their books show a solid color, but the books are wrong...

[...anyone find a late model space saver spare that works with the 4.5 lug space...] I used AR Engineering's kit to install the Gen III Viper calipers on the front of my '63 Dart. The kit is modeled around the Mustang Cobra that was made prior to the current model. Thus, I use the Mustang...
