Having the sedan (post car) I believe it will stay strong, if it was a coup car I would be doing frame connectors for sure. not moving the springs in so I will have more slip then grip on my tires I believe , but I am always looking to learn, so many folks do believe I will not need themThank you for your post
I never realised it was a post car, you may very well be right.

Man Mike, after seeing Victoria wear the color she has for so many years I almost like it better than the correct shade of gold.

Is the ram man still around or has he quit doing stuff.After 5 1/2 years on the road as a daily driver and shifting three on the tree enjoying my 170 slant 6 all the way
But first she needs an update on the brakes. So I went to the Ram Man and enjoyed a little telephone time and watching his Video's on youtub and seen a bunch of advantages to staying all MoPar with his set up that was ready to install on my early 66 Plymouth Valiant.
Thanks Ram man

Ok, here are the int colors and the wrong color someone sprayed on the outside only on Victoria, Look at the ash try, looks like it was sprayed as well .
I bought this fender 5 to 6 years ago, solid all around the lower area's but it was bent in in the mid area and was fixed back in the day, I removed all the body filler and now going to weld up all the holes they put in it, plus the trim holes from factory in 66..
More to come !! @Ddaddy made me a deal of a life time on a set of (Hard to find) 1966 Barracuda/Valiant buckets Thank you so much ! and a member here is dropping them of to me here in the mid of July 
Moving forward pictures of the paint I bought to paint the fire wal and under hood .. Loving this build time in my soon to be cool shop (A/C Heat pump 5 ton scoor for $500, thanks to my oldest son for the loan 
Last picture you can see the color is very close to the right color on the fire wall

Nice...
What's the paint code Mike?
My phone was stollen a few weeks back, I forgot, but the mail box is the corect color Ibought a quart of single stage for the under hood stuff, you can see the correct color in the inside
Just curious, it looks a little more rose colored on the outside.
Who ever painted it missed the color bad, it is going back all stock color. I will get my paint code today on my phone

Yep i love em too. They are also used on the 67s too. I got a set in my loft waiting for re upholstery . Vinyl backing on my metal back and side plates on mine is really beat. Trying to think of what to do. I thought about removing it, and just painting the metal a matte black. Or have a painter buddy of mine spray texture it, then paint it matte black, or just have em powdercoated.
