cant tell from the picture, but i can see they didnt pull the rubber when it was repainted.

autobodyspecialt is the only ones for early a's. but they are great. i just did them in my wagon and they fell right into place.

i did mine one side at a time. i didnt use and bracing. once i was done replacing my two front floor pans all gaps looked the same and doors still shut the same. if you are going to replace the whole floor at once i would tac weld some supports across the door openings.

if you dont want it to leak. park it inside and dont bring it out when its raining. :-D

does this mean its time for a full on restoration? hehe. sorry to hear about the wagon man. i hope you get her fixed up soon.

oh no! that sucks steve. sorry to hear about that.good luck finding a quarter. if you get a parts wagon, i will buy some parts, including the passenger side quarter. just a thought. they seem to be tough to find though. with clean quarters.

looks good. we tried to buff out metropolitan out the other day but the paint was too thin. just wanted to burn through everwhere.

do you have early a pans? thanks for the advice on how to weld them. i cant wait to put in new floors and subframe connectors. its going to be like a whole new car.

i need to do this too, i found this on moparmuscle.com. it looks like they overlaped the pans and welded both top and bottom. i dont know if other people just butt them up to each other i guess it wouldnt matter. good luck with your floors. i think the hardest part will be drilling out all the...

you can make the dart convertable!

eventually you will have a convertable!

dirt and leafs build up in the cowl and hold water, which leads to rust. usually the cowls get pinholes. when the water get in there it dribbles down on the floor. at least thats my experience with my a bodies. oh yeah and the pivots can leak too, but if your getting it around the fresh air...

wow. that was alot of pictures. it looks alot better not all painted. glad to see you have help. my girl only bolts on new parts. she doesnt like to get dirty. you should bring your wagon to a sacramento show. there are a couple during the summer.

you can get the lower patch panels and wheel lip patch panel, nut not a whole replacement panel.

just in case anyone else has been wondering about a way to correctly fix this. i found this site. its an austrailian valiant, but its the same idea. this would probably be the best way to fix it for good. i think im going to fix mine by cutting out the bottom and welding it back in...

yeaterday i spent about an hour cleaning out my cowl. when i pulled the plugs the holes were filled to the tops with leafes and dirt. when i opened the vent doors they were full also. both sides were also loose. when i tried to tighten the bolt that holds the fresh air vents to the cowl the bolt...

thanks guys. i painted it a few months back. i just never noticed the spots i missed untill the other day. it must have been the light or something. the paint is a light blue so i must have just missed it. im getting ready to put the motor back in and i want everything to look good. thanks! -aaron-

i have a dumb question. i painted my engine bay, but i noticed a few spots that i sprayed lightly. i guess i didnt see it when i painted it. i already cleared it but im not happy with it. can i juse wetsand it and reshoot it. would i have to do the whole thing over again? and what grit paper...

your correct. only the jiffy jet bag was available for 63.

sounds good. you sure have a nice looking dart.

i dont know about an electric option, i can tell you my 63 valiant v200 has a foot pump.

yes it will fit. i have seen a 65 barracuda with a dart front end as well. looks pretty good actually. and i believe the canadian valiants were darts with valiant front ends.

yikes! you have some work there. but its well worth it. thanks for saving another car.

no problem, glad i could help.

this is about the best picture i have. i circled the bracket that the jiffy jet hangs on. the bracket just mounts to the fender with two screws and the two top holes of the jiffy jet hook to the bracket.

my 63 valiant had one when i got it. but i didnt have an electric pump. let me see if i can find a picture of it.

im looking forward to seeing it at spring fling this year. hopefully you can get her done in time.

i know what you mean man. sometimes you just have to laugh to keep from going crazy. just take it one part at a time and it will come together. and just think of the stories you can tell when shes done and people are askin about it at a car show.

i agree. but last i checked no one makes a reproduction firewall for a 63 valiant. so sandblasting the crap out of it and covering it with paint is gonna have to be good enough for now.

i will be using por 15 in my engine compartment where it is rusty. i was thinking of using their high build primer after also. the por 15 will go on this weekend. i can let you know how it goes. i dont see why you couldnt use it, it says you can cover it with the topcoat of your choice.
