1965 Dodge Dart 270 wagon

After some tuning om the timing and and adjusting the carbs she ran like a dream. Next will be to bleed the brakes!

Today the last mouldings for the wagon arrived from US. Totally Auto did a superb job on the three mouldings on the tailgate.

After adding restored clips I was able to mount the mouldings. The center clips on the lower mouldings was tricky. But after an hour it was there.

I must admit that it looks great! I have used their service for some mouldings and Totally Auto performs such great jobs.

So finally the front bumper arrived from US through Palles Custom. Great quality and fast service.
Painted the backside of the bumper since it's going to be a driver. On the shelf I have two NOS parking light assemblies. After searching I found them. I mounted the left one and was going for the right one. Just before I found out it was for the left side too! Dang, I need to get another omne!
The mounting process turned out great and the bumper is super strait.
When checking underneath I found out that the o-ring on the transmission tube doesn't hold the oil! Well well, it will be taken care of soon. I think!

I wonder why Chrysler didn't fill in between the moldings with a trim panel similar to that found on the GT. I think it would have looked so much better!
 
For the first time since December 2016 the first trip is done. Ran beautiful. Also found out some small adjustments that needs to be done.

Yesterday the new fabrics for the interior showed up from SMS Fabrics in Oregon. The basket weave, the flat vinyl, the vinyl piping and the ribbed vinyl that goes on the backside of the front seat. The interior guy will start Tuesday next week.
