I probably should have purchased a new valance to begin with. My original wasn't rusty it just needed to be straightened in a couple of areas and had a few dings that required hammering and dollying. I'll probably strip it back down to bare metal then hammer and dolly it smooth it out with a thin coat of body filler in the areas that need it and shoot a couple of coats of epoxy primer/sealer then stick it back on the shelf.

Have you gotten a response from Classic Industries?
Yes..Theyre going to pay for having it repaired.
Got the new bumper installed along with the tail lights. Also working on detailing and painting the trunk area.

Installed the trunk weatherstripping. This black 3M adhesive works great.

Put on a brand new Holley fuel pump and it wouldn't work. It ran but wouldn't pump any fuel. Called Summit and they got a new one to me and I just finished putting it on.
When I installed my new fuel system I purchased a new Holley electric fuel pump. It ran but wouldn't pump any fuel. Called Summit and they sent me a new one. I just got finished installing it. Hopefully this one will be ok.
She's fired up and running. Had some trouble sealing up the rear main seal. Pulled the pan along with the main seal bridge and #5 main cap. Took .006 off of the end of the bridge and installed a new main seal and side seals from Dan Dvorak. She's sealed up now, no leaks. Still trying to figure out why my electric fuel pump is not pumping fuel to the carburetor. She sounds good. Oil pressure is good. New Cold Case radiator cools great. Have all the factory gauges working along with the new Autometer ones. All the lights turn signals side marker etc working so new wiring harnesses went in with no trouble.
.
A 22 inch Cold Case designed for 67-69 big block Darts. It fits the factory holes and looks good. Go to page 5 of this thread for all the details and specs of the radiator.
Thank you sir !
Congrats! That's a great feeling when it finally runs! More fun to come soon...
Installed my mufflers today. Of all the mufflers I've ever ran Borla has the best sound. They're constructed very well of stainless steel and built to last. They're a bit pricey but worth every dime.

Not sure if you had any work done to the radio, but if it is original inside I believe the speaker should be 8 ohm not 4 ohm. Maybe cause you some output transistor problems down the road.
It's a factory replacement that Retro sells that's been updated with better materials for the speaker. The radio is a factory AM/FM unit. I don't know much about the internal workings of a radio.It plays pretty well. The radio is out of a 73 Duster but believe it's the same as what come in 71s..
