    Score! What did I do?

    Well, I have been inducted into the world of early A-body Mopars. I recently snagged a '64 Valiant 200 4-dr.(ehm) Very decent white paint, Red interior with a factory V-8. It has the pushbutton auto (904, I guess) and I like the stance it has. VERY little, tiny rust spots in the trunk. I got it...

    Trim clips

    To all the trim gurus out there.... I have a '72 Swinger, that came from the factory with a vinyl top. I want to just paint the top, but I now have a potential problem. Did mopar put shorter "trim clips" on cars without vinyl tops? Without the extra material there, the trim fits loose. What...

    Slammed Mopar

    Hey guys, Anybody have a Swinger lowered around 4"?? I thought about going with that "Pro Street" stance, but how? 4-Link in the rear? What about the front? Don't T-bars get "slinky" when you let 'em out that much? Will an alignment even come out right? Just a thought.......

    Gear-set Interchange?

    For those smarter than me...... Will gears for a "742" case fit an earlier style "741" case? I have a 8 3/4 from a '62 Fury, and I know it has tapered axles. I'm hoping "742"s will work, because that 2.76(?) ratio is out the roof!! Thanks for any help!! Kyle
