    Finally! Headlight trim rings for 63-65 Valiants/Barracudas

    1963-1965 Valiant owners, I am thrilled to announce that the parts gods have smiled on us in the form of an Australian man named Robert Morris. He has manufactured some truly stunning headlight trim rings. They are even better than original in that they are slightly thicker aluminum and...

    64 Valiant Narrow Pushbutton Shifter Bezel

    Ugh. This is proving to be much tougher than it should be. My V100 shifter bezel is chipped and I need a core to get rechromed. All the usual channels are washing out for me, and the only one I've been able to find the guy wants as much as an entire parts car would cost for the one piece. :wack...

    Back of Early A V8 pedal

    Hey! I'm switching from linkage to cable for my accelerator pedal. I have the Early A V8 firewall mount, but I'm using a freshly rebuilt Slant 6 pedal. I'm told the pedals are basically the same, but the linkage tab on the back is trimmed. Does anyone have a photo available of what the back of a...

    Steering column wiring

    welp, I was trying to disassemble my steering column in my 64 Valiant automatic because I'm switching to a power steering shaft instead of a manual and I wanted to paint it while I was at it. Long story short, I broke the clip for the electrical on the lower end of the column trying to back the...

    GPRS Mopars

    I mentioned this in another part of the forum and didn't hear anything, so I figured the guys more likely to use GPRS would be over here. Has anyone dealt with them lately? I ordered some trim rings from them in early February and never heard anything from them again.

    Would someone please save this car?

    Not mine. No idea whose it is, but it looks like it's in too nice a shape to be crushed. http://www.salvage-cars-for-sale.info/salvage/for-sale-plymouth-valiant-1963-MTgxMTg2NDA

    Antenna and side mirror locations

    Hey, gang. I got one of them cheap-o '64 Valiants that didn't come with a radio or side mirrors, so as I'm getting ready for paint, I wanted to drill some holes before I got too much further along. Can someone please give me some reference measurements for where the holes were drilled on the...

    Splash Shield Gaskets for 63-66 A bodies

    Hey, everyone. the rubber around my '64 Valiant's splash shield have disintegrated, as have most of the splash shields themselves. I got a new/used set from Challenger_Steve (who's great to deal with, btw), and had them media blasted. Sadly the rubber on them was unsalvagable as well. Does...

    Hood and trunk retaining clips: 1967 and up

    Hey, everyone. Does anyone know if the 1967 and up hood and trunk retaining clips work with the earlier cars (specifically 1964)? The guy selling these says he "thinks so." I'm skeptical. I know they look different, but I dont really care if they work. Thanks for your help...

    Parking Brake Removal Question

    Hi! I'm in the process of stripping my '64 Valiant down for media blasting and the last piece I have to remove is parking brake cable, and I'm having a devil of a time with this one more where the housing joins the frame rail just before the C splitter. I can force it, but I want to make sure...

    Pulling a '64 Valiant Dashboard

    Hey, gang. I'm in the middle of dismantling my Valiant for restoration and the time has come to pull the dash. Here's what I've done so far: 1: Pull the windshield 2: Disconnected and removed the instrument cluster and pushbutton shifter 3: Removed the connector bar under the steering...

    Back Up Light Socket Help

    So I just snagged a much nicer push-button shifter for the Flying Valiant (Thanks, Dartnewbie!), and joy of joys, I can now have back up lights. The only snag is, I don't have any sockets in the back for the lamps to sit in. I've googled and searched forums, but no luck. Does anyone know the...

    Brake Light Activator Sticking

    Taking the trash out last night, I was treated to the site of my '64 Valiant's tail light bulbs blaring in the darkness through my now-molten tail light lenses. It would appear that the metal actuator at the top of the brake pedal is sticking. I can pull back on it (with gloves because it was...

    Raised White Letter Tires and Early A's

    I was at the friendly neighborhood tire store the other day, and they told me there are no tires with raised white letters small enough to fit the front wheel wells on my '64 Valiant. This strikes me as highly unlikely. I'm pretty sure I've seen early A's with raised white letter tires around...

    Flying Valiant Project

    I finally got my 64 Valiant back after several years of if languishing away at my parent's house. It's getting an air conditioning system put in it now to make it a little more comfortable to drive. It's just one of a long list of modifications that need to be done. When it is done, though, I'm...

    Looking for a Seat Belt Solution

    I have a 64 Valiant V-100 I'm trying to make a daily driver. Safety is one of my top concerns, so I want to have improved seat belts on the front seats at least. I'd prefer to put in a 3-way retractable setup, but as I'm sure many of you know, the early A's don't have a mounting plate up there...
