Two things immediately come to mind First, from the jagged edges of the tape, it must have been in something very much like a normal scotch tape dispenser. The jagged edges look like the teeth from one of those holders. Second, if the tape is fabric, then the most commonly available material...

Obviously these judges have never been in a Chrysler assembly plant! Oil/coolant drips from joints that are not fully sealed are NORMAL!! I'd argue that given the fact that the locking strip for the windshield was installed in 45 seconds or so, the occasional crack in the mylar is also...

Can't understand why this was beyond your wildest dream. I think most if not all of us would have been shocked if you hadn't won this as well as a host of other awards. Perseverance, long hours, hard work and amazing attention to detail have brought you this recognition. Not only well...

Great story about the brake booster supplier. I'm betting there are dozens if not hundreds more that are very similar to that. Do you have your judging sheets from Carlisle yet? Will you post it?

I'll stand to be corrected on this, but my guess is that if the tag were adhesive backed, it would have/could have been installed by the assembly plant. If it were mechanically attached (wire tire or slotted cutout to fit over a mating part), it could have gone either way. I'd venture to say...

I have three guesses as to why they were used. 1. They're a reinforcement for the LCA at the bumper mounting point. 2. Somebody (chassis engineering?) determined that the bumper was ineffective in cushioning a full suspension compression motion and it was quicker to shim it up than it...

Are these plates a separate piece or are they the bottom of the bumper?

Because the tag itself is pretty much in the shape of the bag, I think you're correct that it's for older model cars. What does the owner's manual say about operation of the windshield washers? Do you have the floor button pump style or the push-in at the wiper switch electric variety...

The Monroney Label (named for the U.S. Senator who spearheaded getting these labels on the car) is meant to show consumers The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), Engine and transmission specifications, Standard equipment and warranty details, Optional equipment and pricing, City and...

Ulf, I believe the invoice was attached to the right quarter window (if you have room, or the right door window if you don't). I also believe the label would not have been attached to the driver's door for two reasons (a) visibility and (b) damage to the label from rolling the window up and...

I'm quite certain there were no washers under the wing nuts. The rubberized coating was thick and soft enough that the wingnuts would bed themselves into the coating. That would prevent them from backing off.

I think I'm fairly safe in saying that the owner's manual and any other paper items would be shipped in the glove box and anything involving actual hard parts would have come in the trunk (including hubcaps and/or wheelcovers). Cars ordered with seat belts would have had them installed by the...

Ulf, if you're treating the entire exhaust system with WD-40 or any other petroleum based material, does this mean that you will not be driving the car ? It's virtually guaranteed that you're going to have a really smokey stinky car if you drive it with that stuff on the pipes. It will burn...

I believe the red paint was used on all "critical" fasteners. I believe we've talked about how it was used on brake components and elsewhere in the car where the fastener involved a component that was crucial to the safe operation of the vehicle. In the case of the rear axle plug, if the plug...

You will likely need to find someone with the engine graphics book for the plant that built the 273 engines. I wish I did, but I do not have this book.

I did.

This site referenced above shows the 273-2v as a code 31 with the 273-4v as a code 32. The '62-'65 white book shows a 273-2v as a code 30 and a 273-4v as a code 31. The '66-'68 white book agrees with the website. I managed to locate a '66 Canadian order guide which showed the 273-2v as...

Big leap of faith there DS. You're assuming they'd even know!

Sadly, I've noticed. Add $2 and you can get coffee at Tim's to go with them.

There is no TSB relating to door lock knobs. In fact, most of the "Body" TSBs for 1965 are on full size cars. Do you have the folder on the Dart GT? If you have it and a magnifying glass, you might be able to see the door lock knobs. IIRC, there is a picture of a convertible with the top...

The way I read that chart, all A & B body cars used either Red, Gold, Black or Chrome lock buttons. There may have been a callout in the Trim Graphics book for 1965, but I don't have one to check against. I suspect it came down to personal choice by the operator who installed the knobs on the...

DS, I think I'm voting with Ulf on this one. In the FPC excerpt you included it shows black knobs for P,D,C-L (low line) cars. The listing also doesn't show much in the way of other specific car lines (V, L, Y), so I'm likely to go with "chrome" when there isn't a specific interior colour to...

I can't say for sure whether or not the rear glass weatherstrip was applied to the glass or the window opening, but given that you'll need a fine cord to fit the weatherstrip into the opening, I'd venture to guess that pulling on the cord between the weatherstrip and the metal lip is much safer...

Ulf, I have to ask. Did you fill the inside of the PAL nuts with dum-dum sealer? I believe they were done that way at the factory as a result of water leaks past the letter studs. Normally there is enough of that dum-dum applied, that it's visible around the outside edges of the nuts.

I'm playing catch-up in reading this thread. Is the "reflective" strip actually the mylar strip through the center of the panel? I'm thinking it's only on the quarter panels to continue on from the piece in the door trim panels.

I'm sure I can scan it, but the file size will be too big to post. Can I email it to you?

Ulf: Haven't paid attention to whether or not you have the rear parcel shelf installed yet, but today I came across a very interesting Mopar Parts Information Bulletin, number 521, dated March 26, 1965 that discusses the "Shelf Trim Panel". All service replacements required "Paint as required"...

Agree completely. When my Mother's '66 V200 arrived, the right roof pillar trim plate was installed with a 1" gap between it and the headliner.

I think the tape you're looking for will be quite similar to what is used on hockey sticks. Or you might try and industrial supply shop and ask them for "tear tape" - that is a think cloth backed tape that seems to be impregnated with a tar-like material with the adhesive on the back side...

I believe the trunk liner was some sort of art board about 1/8" thick. Try and art supply store for the material. Also, the black was only on the passenger side of the panel. The trunk side was natural cardboard.
