My '67 Valiant 100 Big Block 4 Speed Restoration

-
my dash vents and arm rests were toast. the door panels i'll re-use after dying. i can help with the seatbelts though, i'll try to get some pics in the next day or so and post them on this thread. i'll pm you when i get them up.
i also have a usable red headliner (1 small tear, fixable) and a red steering wheel in realy nice shape.

good on the wheel and headliner do need bows tho and the dr seatbelt in red would be great
 
Finnaly did something this past week:cheers:

Took the three doors apart to get them ready for striping & primer. The green one is the one we got a the past Carlie Mopar show along with the trunk lid from the same car. It's from a '69 Valiant. They change around the lock knob position: on the '67 its all the way to the rear of the door, on the '69 it's closer to the middle of the door:angry5: We plan on using the guts from the junk door and install them on the good door.

Also finished taking the surface rust off from the fenders from letting them sit bare for 2-3 months:banghead: and getting them in primer. We did the backsides (strip rust & prime) one day and another day we did the outsides (strip rust & prime).

Also pick this up. A person was throwing it out so I saved it to use as a vent fan for fumes :fart::D I rigged up a base and put a 1/4hp electric motor (the black one in the pic) to it via belt and man does that move the air:eek:fftheai:

Also is this an original 340 K-member? It has the washer welded to the front. Is there any way of dating these?

Thanks Tnplumber. I originally thought about going with a black interior but I realized how rare the red interior is so I'm going to stick with that.
 
Some progress!!!!!!!!!! :cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

I picked up a '73 & later small block k-frame with spool mounts for $20:cheers:
I plan on making a Direct -><- Connections style big block k-frame by cutting the mounts on the k-frame and moving them. The engine mounts that came with it are also the correct ones to use with this modification.:-D
