    new top and boot ordered today!

    It came out great. I could see a few things that could be better but went to a car show on a rainy day and after looking at other tops realized mine was just as good and in some cases better.

    Rolled back odometer anyone?

    I was a sales manager for a few car dealerships in the 1970 in Vancouver B.C. You could go on any car lot in town and you would find every car had about 10,000 mile per year. There were 2 people that came to the dealerships and spun back the miles as soon as the trades came in. This lasted until...

    Laysons patch panel

    I used them on both quarters on my 65 Valiant Convertible and my body man commented that they were better than the original material. I have had good service from Laysons and being in Canada that is not always the case getting shipments from the U.S.

    HELP WITH VACUUM ADVANCE

    Thanks all of you. I have found This site to be very helpful many times. In Canada we have trouble finding some parts. I punched up VC 173 and Amazon say they have one only so will see if they ship it tomorrow. If not I will find a U.S. source.

    Convertible top install

    I did it last year on my 65 Valiant. It worked out not bad but I did not have the old top. If you can use the old one to match up it would be easier. I have looked at some cars at car shows and they are no better than mine is some cases. If you take your time and follow the instructions you...

    Top frame paint color?

    My 65 Canadian Valiant had an off white frame color and a black top. I painted it black and installed a white top. A lot of items in my Valiant were like a U.S. Dart.

    Mounting Seat Belts

    I just noticed that the 1965 Canadian Valiant convertable that I restored has never had rear seat belts. I removed some from a 1966 4 door sedan and I see that where the middle belts mount there are holes with plugs in them in my car but I can not find holes for the outside portion of the belts...

    What are these holes for

    That was my thinking but I thought I would make sure before I get rid of them.

    What are these holes for

    Can anyone tell me what these holes are for? My 1965 Valiant Convertible has these holes on both sides. It is a Canadian custom 100 model which has a few differences from the U.S. This is the fiberglass piece between the back seat and the outer trim.

    Rear Seat reinstall help for Grandpa's 62 Valiant...

    I just put my back seat in my 65 yesterday. I found that the seat back was too low. Loosen off the brackets at the bottom and pull the to up as far as it will go. then try again. It will still be a job but that made it easier for mine.

    Convertible Rear Armrests

    My 65 Canadian custom 100 Valiant convertible has ash trays in the arm rests. When painting the interior parts I painted the arm rests and I had a roll of vinyl Chrome so I covered the top of the ashtrays and put them back in. They will never be opened as the rest of the ashtray is missing.

    Front Bumper question

    Thanks to both of you. I thought that was what should be there. I think the main reason it was there was that in those days you used a bumper jack to lift the car and it would help. I do not have those braces so will just put bolts in the bumper .

    more mystery parts

    In this picture I have just laid the carpets in. Nothing is attached. I see that these trim pieces will start just past the door and go beside the back seat. When I got the car there was almost no carpet or floor for that mater. Should there be a piece like this going under the door or does the...

    What are these?

    The top arrived with some of those wrinkles in those panels. I decided to wait until we start getting some warm sunny days and drive it around with the top up. I think it will stretch a bit then and I will go over it again.
