Hello good people, I'm working on my 1963 Dodge Dart station wagon One question involves the tailgate belt weatherstrip. I'm puzzled about where it actually goes and what the installation procedures are. The part I got from you is GG-W130. Maybe I don't need it. The other issue. I used...

I've been looking at the Mopar Action magazine article. I understand the concept but when the tapered seat lugnuts are torqued on the wheel, what would a ring accomplish. Seems to me that the ring could do nothing since the lugs and tapered lugnuts hold the wheel solid on the hub or axle...

If I get a successful front end alignment from a local shop I'll be staring at a headliner install, possibly/probably by a local upholstery shop. The quarter glass and windshield must come out to expose the pinchwelds over which the edges of the headliner are attached. From Layson's I...

3 or 4 years ago I installed a disc brake kit on my '63 Dart Wagon, /6 and three on the column. The rotors are about 11/16 thick at the stud mounting point and with steel wheels the stud threads extend well under an inch from the wheel mounting surface. With the steelwheel (14x6 from a Ford...

"63 Dart wagon manual steering. When trying to turn to the left or right lock, the effort required seems to quickly increase--a lot. It has been a few years since I rebuilt the front susension and steering and I'm not familiar with the details that front end guys know. I did install disc...

In order to install a headliner in my '63 Dart wagon the quarter glass must be removed. I would love to buy a pair of new nice seals if someone has them. Or, has anyone figured out another way to do the wagon headliner install? My headliner is beginning to fall apart and it's getting ugly...

My '63 Dart Wagon. For a couple years I searched for the proper channels with no luck. I ordered three different sizes from a places that listed early A Valiant door glass channels. I got those--not even close. I tried another size just by measuring the steel channel in the door and tried...

THIS CAR HAS BEEN SOLD. THANKS FABO! I've had this car for several years. I've gotten to the age where car work is a bit too much for me. This is a rust free car that came from Oregon. Slant 6 Automatic Power steering Front disc brakes 5x4.5 bolt circle front and rear Anti sway bars front...

Y'all may not like this but heck read on from a guy who is getting old and working with it the best I can. Neither google nor ebay showed any 1/25 scale wheel backs in quantity. I'm not into detail, but rather static models. In other words, just look at them where they sit. Don't pick it up...

I'm in need of a decent passenger side front fender. Best to be within 300 miles of Denver, Colorado. I suspect shipping could be a bit expensive so I'd like to pick it up. Thanks, Jerry in Denver

'63 Dart wagon. I can't be the only person who has tried to find the flexible rubber glass run channels for Early A sedan doors. Does anyone know how to tackle this issue. I'm considering slipping a thin shim of something semi-soft up along side of the existing channels to eliminate the...

'63 Dart wagon. It has typical quarter panel rust from the top of the wheel opening to the low part of the area behind the wheel opening. My panel-building experience isn't quite up to the level of what's required. I've attempted to form a patch from 2-3 parts but not having any luck. Don't...

What happened to all the Revelle '54 Chevy 2dr sedan kits? I'd like to locate one. While I'm at it, an affordable '72 Satellite Road Runner kit or built kit would be nice. I won't hold my breath. Jerry in Denver

"63 Dart 170 wagon. Wanting to replace glass run channels. I followed the service manual instructions for removing the rear door glass. The glass is free but can't get it out. The manual says to lift glass up and out of the door. The glass is tightly held by the run channel. Well, up and...

My engine needs a dipstick and tube from any slant. The desired would be the later slants with long tube to clear A/C parts. I pretty much need any matching slant 6 stick and tube. Thanks, Jerry

I've noticed on a few parts sites that there are new bezels (repro, I'd guess) listed for Valiant/Barracuda and looking surprisingly similar to my '63 Dart bezels. Is there a significant difference between Dart and Valiant bezels? Attaching screw holes match? Thanks Jerry

Hi modelers, Being in my seventies, the work on my 1:1 scale cars is getting tougher on the old body. Think I need to downsize to 1:25. I haven't built model cars for some years. I'd like some suggestions that get me up to date on the technology of newer glues, fillers and paints. Glues...

Any steel I buy has a dark layer of something. I’d like to make the surfaces to be clean raw steel for some projects. For years I’ve been using the grinder with a coarse wire wheel, but it’s time consuming and not all that efficient. I do sometimes use my belt sander and that method removes a...

I’m running a ‘63 Dart wagon with stock 225 three on the tree. When cold there is no unusual noise. Using a Stethoscope the valve train sounds just fine. All even and normal sounding. After warming up the ticking begins, intermittent at first and when fully warmed it is constant ticking...

I have a 1963 Dart wagon. I want to replace the fuel tank and wonder if wagon tanks are different from sedan/hardtop. I’ve seen some eBay listings that state not for wagons.m Online pics sure do look like my wagon tank. Anybody know about this? Jerry in Denver

I’m still looking for a left side tail light lens for my 63 wagon. I have an extra right side lens if someone wants to trade lenses—my right side for your left lens.

I really would like to find a decent 63 Dart wagon left tail light lens. I know that there weren’t all that many wagons built, so I wish myself good luck. Jerry in Denver

Searching old posts doesn’t answer my question. Will 7 1/4 Ring and pinion sets swap between early, (1963-1972) and late (1973-76)? If so, are there any “gotchas” to worry about? My ‘66 Dart AT has 2.76 and is a slug. My ‘63 Dart wagon three/tree SBP is just perfect with 3.23. Hoping to put...

I’m still looking for a pair of lenses but I would really like to get the driver side lens. Also, it would be nice to find the rubber gaskets for the chrome taillight housings for my ‘63 wagon. Damn, I like driving my early A—bodies. Jerry in Denver

I need two good 7.25 complete differentials. Need 4.5 bolt circle and A body width. My ‘66 has 2.75 axle from a ‘73 Dart. Car is too sluggish. My ‘63 Dart wagon has 3. 2 but has small bolt pattern. Switching to disc brakes and I’d like to avoid the adapter/spacer. The 3.2 ratio seems...

I acquired a nice set of Ford Maverick 14X6 steel wheels with 3.5 inch backset. Of course, Mopar hubcaps don’t fit over the mounting nubs. Same nub diameter as Chevy according to what I read. The Ford wheels have 4 nubs and Chevy has 3. I have lots of Chevy hubcaps, but they are difficult to...

I’ve been considering moving the heater controls from below the dash up to that blank area above the radio like the ‘64 Darts. Has anyone done this? It appears that the cables will be too short for this move. Any advice or suggestions. It wouldn’t normally matter, but I am thinking about...

I’m wondering something about responses to adverts on these sites and many others. The response is polite and wants first to know whether the item is still available. I respond, “Yes, still available”. The next contact says he likes the price and condition. Wants my name and address to...

My ‘63 Dart carb is missing the fast idle cam and attaching screw. I may need to buy a parts carb if those parts are still on it. Thanks, Jerry in Denver

I just acquired a really decent ‘63 Dart wagon, slant of course. The bbs is missing some parts. I need (want) a fast idle cam with screw and the link that connects the choke shaft to the cam. I hate to get a carb and part it out buuuttt, I would buy a whole carb with the parts I need...
