Pick a part has a 75 Dart. Figured I'd take a look for anything I can use. Wanted engine / trans parts for one of my Early A body cars but no luck. Someone decided to substitute a old four cylinder Mercedes Diesel. I did get a pair of nice small bolt pattern 14 inch wheels so that I wouldn't...
I found the engine underneath the filth. Its locked up tight. Unable to turn it by the crankshaft bolt with large breaker bar. Pulled the starter and used a pry bar on the flywheel and it budges a bit. Trying out mixture of half acetone half transmission fluid to soak everything and get it...
Introducing a 64 Dart to the collection. Wish I could have gotten to it sooner to prevent it from getting so bad.
Sitting since the 80s Im guessing but not really sure.
Picked up a new to me trunk lid. Pretty decent shape. Just a bit of damage around the lock cylinder. Anything is better than the one currently on my 65 since there is nothing left of the lower lip on the inside.

Another fun filled weekend at the junkyard. 66 Valiant V100. 225 slant six automatic. It's wrecked really bad front, rear and sides. Very rusty car all over. I'm betting that its a runner since it had new tires and brakes . Ripped out the drivetrain and whatever other goodies I can use on the...
Ive got what I believe is the MB kit . Small bolt pattern . The 14 steel wheels just barely touch the caliper. Havent installed on the car yet because I feel like theyre gonna rub.
Fixing the cowl rust is a big big big job. Not for the timid. That small rust spot is most likely much worse on the inside of the cowl. Its just what happens to these cars.
I would highly recommend keeping it out of the rain as much as you can . Dont allow any more water into the cowl .
You...
I've got these pieces that may or may not even be A body parts. Could use some help with identification. I was thinking the 2 large curved pieces might be boot well trim from 63 valiant convertible.
