There's another member looking for the GoGo brochure - it took me a long time to find one especially when there was only Hemmings and swap meets to find stuff - probably like you acquiring a DartCharger hardtop and convertible!

Hi, would you be able to give me the paint code for your charger, is it the factory yellow?
Thanks.
Yes, it's the factory paint. The paint was standard on all Dart Chargers from August of 1964. From March 1st 10´965 the paint was officially introduced for all Chrysler built cars. If you mean the paint code on the fendertag it should read 881, 991 or 999. I can get you the paint code from PPG when I get back home.
Dan!Ahhhhh, yes, the early A-body lockstrip. Used on '60-'66 A-body windshields except very early-production 1960 Valiant V200; '60-'65 Valiant backglass; '61-'62 Lancer backglass, '63 Dart backglass, all the way around '64-'65 Baccaruda backglass, and across the bottom of '66 Baccaruda backglass. Part number is 2082 278. This has been a pain-in-the-nuts (extinct) part for early A-body restoration for many years. The original type has been out of production and unavailable for decades. There are lockstrips from various other applications (GM trucks, etc.) that fit more or less OK and hold up variably, but none of them has the same surface contour.
Similar lockstrips of different widths and depths were used in various applications on other '60-'65 Mopars. This what you're showing here, p/n 2422 471, is the lockstrip for the quarter glass on 1962-'65 Plymouth-Dodge station wagons (except Custom 880). It may or may not be the correct width, depth, and/or length for use on an A-body windshield gasket. I have my doubts, since the one part number (2082 278 ) was used for all those different-length applications listed above, 2422 471 appears in the same FPCs with different applications, and the one number does not supersede to the other. But stranger things have happened in the Chrysler parts system!
Ulf (or anyone else) if you wind up figuring out how to get some of the correct material made…count me in!
I left one piece of NOS material to Jim at Detroit Musclecar Technoligies so hopefully he has been able to reproduce a correct looking strip for the Mopar hobby!
The plug with the red paint is the same as they used on the cross ram intake manifolds for the Hemi!!
Are you guys going to be at Carlisle this year?

NO IT'S NOT RESTORED
I don't see why not! Tim is going to debut his "new' Duster. I might be in the tent this year if Mel will have me again.....How about you buddy?
Me and a buddy of mine Johan will be there. You and Tim met him in 2015!

NO IT'S NOT RESTORED
Yes, I remember....as always we both are looking forward to it! Should have Tim's red car at my shop soon...The white car goes back home next weekend.
I know have found out that the lower control arms has white paint markings on the front side. I found this on my wagon!
Next show was Liljaskolans Sleds and Wheels i Vännäs. Great show! Ume Assistance took care of the transport to and from the show.

What's that white stuff on the ground in some of the pictures?
It's jokingly called "Sami mildew".
The Sami people are, in case you're not familiar with them, indigenous to north Scandinavia and parts of northern Russia.
Ulf, What is that silver convertible? It's beautiful!
And how does the paint job payment work? Do they just paint cars that are rolled in there or does it still cost you the same as an ordinary paint job?

Actually it was a show without winners! But I won the people's heart!
Unfortunately, snow!!!!! But it is soon gone!

Looks like a 1968 Coronet.
It is a absolutely rusted out Coronet 500. Per has made an remarkable job saving it. Will get a fresh 383 x 2 bbl as original.
Dav! Still got the canes and the hood moulding? I'm also interested in the rear seat for the early A convertible. Will you be at Carlisle?
