Actually the gas tank was in great shape. It had a small dent/knock in a area I don’t know how it would have got there... but once it was installed you could not see it. I still cleaned to crap out of it and used a product call redkote on the inside of it. It’s used on aircraft fuel tanks.

Hiya, The wagon is a 1961 Plymouth Valiant. Hence the 61 trim wear. It was built in the first week of November 1960. The 1960 model year ends September 1960... And the 61 model year start 1st October 1960.. So I took the liberty of pretending I ordered this car in September of 60 but they...

Digging through the draws at home to find something else and I pull out some nos spark plug leads I had purchased off Len Dawson years ago... I recently read that mopar didn’t print on their spark plug leads until 1961. But the ones I have are dated 3Q 60. Which match the build date (November...

This was a win.... a colleague recently imported a 1960 valiant station wagon into Australia. And it still had 1 rear tailgate area wiring grommet on it. I have seen a lot of wagons over time but this was the first time one still had the grommet. This piece goes into the body below where the...

Haven’t been able to work on the wagon for a little bit.. but still doing things for the wagon. One item I recently made was a tar top looking battery topper. I also made the battery caps a little while back. Cause the wagon was built in November 1960... I decided to use autolite battery caps. I...

I have 1. But it’s only good for displaying. The rims that will go on the wagon will be 5.5 wide x 14in.

Yes roof racks were available in 1962. Not sure if they were factory but 100% dealer for sure. Would have made more sense to be factory but I will have to check my books for you.

Having to move out of the current location for a while... but will be able to keep working on it..

Got some Tung-Sol centre dot headlights. Which in today’s world not the greatest but I am trying for originality.

I have never found a full complete kit all at once. Only parts here and there. Most people just laugh at you and say it’s a impossible task. But over time I have got almost all the pieces. The linkage I am making up from photos from old time period magazines. The task now is to find a second...

Over the years I have seen a couple of different part number markings on early valiant parts. Here I have tried to replicate ones I have seen in a few places.

Looks good with the front bumper, bumper guards and grille guard on.

Yes that’s it! Awesome.

A little bit more on the wagon today. Items that were finished off years ago are now ready to be bolted on. The door trim panels are the original ones off the wagon.

Will have to put the wagon away for a little bit soon. But got the doors and fenders on before that happens...

No updates as yet on the cargo mats. I will actually have to put the wagon away for a little while, while I move warehouse. Hopefully its not for too long.

Good guess but no. It’s not about the VIN.

This will be my Licence Plate for shows only. I have an Australian one for driving around my local city. The numbers relate to something about the car. Any guesses to what it could be. ??

Any knowledge on 60/61 Heater hose markings would be great. I got this a fair while ago now. I am unsure if its Australian or North American (I just cant remember). I don't really see the DPCD logo used on printed items in Australia...Only on North American mopars. This hose has no ribbing...

Now the doors are on, on the right hand side of the wagon the trim can start to go on. I had already done all the window winder mechanisms and installed them before we hung the doors, which made them heavier to hold in place and adjust but I had a great bunch of guys helping so it made it easier...

Little bit of a rear end shot. You can see the 3rd seat. The inside rear cargo area switch. The bumper overrider step pad as well. Its good to be able to finally put some of these items on the car.

I am not sure how many wiring looms came from how many suppliers but I often find tags like these on NOS looms and even on older looms out of the Early Valiants and Lancers. Any more knowledge about these types of labels would be great.

A couple of quick up dates. First one is... While the decals aren't going on yet, I like to see where they might look the best. So I just place them on without actually sticking them on. Also mucking around with the placement of the optional Tissue Master box.

I got the 2 right side doors onto the wagon today with the help of a few others. It took a little bit but we got there. Sitting just near the wagon is one of my future rebuilds. An 1965 AP6 Utility (Ute) it will be done as a nice daily driver. I all the pieces I need. Just need the time to do it.

While my 66 is matt black at the moment and needs a bit of work... Here is a photoshop mock up of the color I want to paint it and what it should look like roughy when its done...

I will be doing this to my 66 convertible as well.

Not the best photo but it shows the jack in the engine bay with Master Tech.

looking good Mike, what's that clamped on top of the passengers inner guard? Hiya Marty, That's the jack. On Wagons that came with the 3rd seat option, they were spare wheel delete cars. But if you wanted the spare tire option (Which was standard on every other car in the universe) you got the...

Its been a little while since a update. I recently dropped the motor and gearbox in and have done a few other things to the wagon. You can start to see its taking shape now. Now I can look at the linkage set up, Checking the wiring and a few accessories and how they fit into place. Still lots to...
