Fall Fling in Van Nuys 10/20

1jstrong said

To be honest, I'm not looking for much. I do need the nut that goes on my steering wheel shaft. I pulled my steering wheel and there was no nut holding it down. I'd like to get a mat for my trunk. Right now I'm just riding around with nothing. A spare tire hold down. Someone stole 2 of my chrome tire valve caps, so I was thinking of picking up a set of 4 with the Mopar logo on them. Need I mention I want a bigger engine and a new 5 speed manual? But I doubt those can be had in 'drop in' condition for a few hundred bucks.

I was also wanting to get some ideas for a center console. I'm not a fan of the OE style and with bucket seats, I haven't found an aftermarket that is narrow enough. I've gotten some great ideas from this site, but the more I have, the more data I can use to create mine.

All this is for my 73 Dart.

The steering wheel nut is kind of unique. Do you know what one looks like and it's size, so you can spot it in the swap meet? If not ask in the General Discussion section here for that info.

Do you have any dented trim or grille pieces on your car? Or cracked discolored interior pieces? How pitted are your rear tail light bezels? Great place to find that stuff in the swap meet. Go around your car and take digital pictures of each section of the car. Then when you're in the swap meet you can go back on your camera and look at your car to see if the parts match and the condition of your current parts. Make "scroll" and "zoom" work for you!

Rocket Restorations, Mr Moparts, and Frank's Restoration, The Mopar Shop may have a trunk mat for you.

I think most of them are allready on the road to the show. But you could call Ed at (559) 645-7243 or www.themoparshop.com And see if he has a trunk mat and make sure he bring one down for you. Vendors can't bring everything, so it's good idea to call ahead.
