Happy Easter!

I missed out on a 48 Chrysler, in between looking at the car, and going to the bank for the cash, the owner sold it. Maybe gone 45 minutes. Ended up getting a 73 coronet for $75 the next weekend. So worked out for the better, IMO Missed out on a $500 67 1/2 Firebird, under a similar...

On the fender tag, there should be a 20 under letters AB and should also be a 3 under the letter D for 4 speed.

Great looking 65 Convertible. I hope it's a good deal for you. From Galen's white book There were 2819 270 Convertibles 1927 with 225-1's of those 20 had 4 speeds. Code 235 on Body Code on Fender tag.

Congrats on the wins! I usually try to go every year. Fun field gets the dart and I thru the door. The rain stopped me this year. My day is usually Friday. Saturday morning it was still dripping and i never left the house. Wish I had changed my mind at noon, but was into yard work by...

The one you have attached for the passenger side, I slid the bending spring down to the fitting and bent it between 60° and 90° to go in thru the side, it the noutes to the firewall and back up to go around the engime. The short driver side line out the front, because I didn't think it would...

Here's my 65 MT bracket. Looks a bit different than the AT one posted in the link by @Dana67Dart above

Very happy with these. Thanks again.

Finished this up last weekend. Completed replacing all of the lines with stainless lines from inline tube. Bled the brakes last weekend and test drove. No leaks, way more pedal than the single master ever thought of having. Taking her out tomorrow for the Sunday get together.

Not really impressed by the hack job in that FB pic. Shift rods on the inside of the car and tweaked and bent to accommodate not putting the tunnel in right, seems like an issue waiting to happen to me. I don't have non carpeted pics of my original floor speed hump from the top, but the...

The technical service manual has decent instructions, and there are online resources that go through the process. Both of the mopars I put tops on, I paid an upholsterer shop to install them. He had better top, back window and parts prices than I could find online and did it right the first...
