    1964 Dart GT Bonnet Ornament Badge

    OK... I had a bit of a look at the carton my stuff was delivered in, not a lot to go on, but I did find this, which hopefully might help. If you do end up making contact with this guy, maybe tell him you got his details off a guy from Australia who he sold a GT badge and a full set of chrome...

    1964 Dart GT Bonnet Ornament Badge

    I bought it on eBay, along with a full set of rechromed bonnet 'spears', or whatever the technical name for all those chrome strips is. I still have the box it all came in to store the old ones. Let me take a look tonight and see if there's some contact details on the box. I did a quick eBay...

    64 Dart Suspension Upgrades

    Mine is not far off daily driver status, handles nicely without being too bumpy... This is what I did, and won't cost you an arm and a leg: FRONT: I replaced all the usual stuff (ball joints, tie rod ends, control arm bushes, rubbers) with good brand parts. Koni "Special D" shock absorbers, VG...

    Classic Industries dash bezel issues

    I've had nothing but satisfaction and great customer service from Classic Industries, even to the point where they rang me (I'm in Australia) to confirm a couple of details with one item. Pick up the phone and call them, at least give them the chance to explain. They may/may not have come across...

    What mileage does your slant six powered ride get?

    Damn! I only just threw out all my calculations the other day, we had done a long trip, I recorded all the details... 1964 Dart GT, stock 225, automatic, 2.93 diff gears, 2 1/4" exhaust, 225/60/14 tyres. The end result over about 350 miles of highway/country roads driving was average about...

    Manifold Heater for Cold Climates

    I would connect it, try it, and run it. It can only get as hot as your cooling system will allow, which means temperature should be 'governed' by the thermostat and radiator pressure cap to about 110*C. I live in Australia, on older cars we do occasionally fit a 'heater tap' which is something...

    Redline slant 6 holley 4 barrel Intake manifold.

    I've used Redline Manifolds on 225 slant sixes and 265 Hemi sixes. Their products are great. You might also want to check out AussieSpeed as well if you are in the market for manifolds...

    Molded Early A glove boxes .(MADE A GOOD one finally)

    A company called "Early Plastic Chromeplating", they are in Victoria, Australia. Whilst I agree they did a top job on my stuff (about five years ago now) I just read a horror story about the same company a few weeks ago on one of the Valiant Facebook Groups here in Australia. I'm still inclined...

    Early A-Body front sway bar help?

    Hi Geoff, Sorry it took a while to post this reply, for some unknown reason, I have been unable to upload this image??? Anyway, here it is in living colour! What you are looking at is: Standard 1964 lower control arms with VH Valiant sway bar 'ears' welded on; VG Valiant (Pacer) standard sway...

    Molded Early A glove boxes .(MADE A GOOD one finally)

    The dash pad on my 1964 Dart was covered in this aweful hessian type fabric, a bit like that stuff used on office pinboards and desk partitions. I had nothing to work from other than photos from the internet but "The Dashboard Doctor" in Colac, Victoria (Australia) came up with this. It has a...

    Early A-Body front sway bar help?

    Hi Geoff, I realise in that photo above (Reply #33) that those rod end linkages may look like they are at precarious angles, but they settle back into a near-vertical attitude when the full weight of the car is on it. I'll take another picture soon...

    Early A-Body front sway bar help?

    Hi Geoff, No I didn't modify the sway bar, it seems to fit OK, and it certainly handles OK!!! Koni Special D adjustable hydraulic shocks. Set the rear ones at 50/50 and the fronts at 60/40 and you'll have a nice handling car that won't shake you to bits...

    Early A-Body front sway bar help?

    Hi Geoff, Those 'old school' set ups that bolt onto the reaction rods are as useless as a chocolate tea pot... I converted to VG Valiant disc brakes, and at the same time added the sway bar, all these 'bits' were under my parents house from back when I build my VG Pacer Hardtop back in the...

    Behind back seat?

    They are made from Masonite, you can make them from any medium/high density fibre board (what I did), although I'm pretty sure Classic Industries sell these and rear parcel trays and the insulation as well (as per Reply #2 above)...

    [WANTED] WANTED: 1964 Dart 225/904 Park Cable

    Thanks for the reply, appreciate your offer, I'll keep this in mind, although it is the PARK cable I really need. I'm scared I'm going to park it somewhere and the cable breaks and I'm stuck wherever that may be. I think I'll check out the new/reproduction ones in REPLY#2 first and see how I go...

    63/64 Dart headlight bezels?

    They are in Australia, in the outskirts of Sydney. As well as the grill, valance panel, valance panel mouldings, headlight rims they also repaired some 'roof rack dents' from the rain gutter moulds and the chrome strip on the bottom edge of the boot lid. All that came to about $1200 and took...

    [WANTED] WANTED: 1964 Dart 225/904 Park Cable

    Hi Guys, I am chasing a 904 transmission Park Cable for my 1964 Dart GT. 225 slant six. Ideally NOS, or a good second hand one will get me out of trouble, mine is kinking because it is frayed at the end near the controller. And maybe a shift cable as well if somebody is pulling these off a...

    63/64 Dart headlight bezels?

    I had mine done by Concourse Mouldings, their condition wasn't too bad, but I've seen him do MUCH WORSE. He did a fantastic job, also did my grille and valance panel. Highly recommended... Before and after photos below... Concourse Moulding Repairs & Polishing
