Are you going to run stock exhaust manifolds? I'm not sure what aluminum heads you have there, but somewhere on FABO another member had to grind some material off of the driver side head to get the manifold to fit. I hope you don't have problems with that. You may want to mock it up to see if it...

What's the story on that 67/68 Fury in the garage?

So here we are about a year later. Got the quarter sectioned in and welded. I still have some metal finishing to do here and a few small pin-holes to weld shut. Next up will be epoxy primer and a skim coat of filler. I can tell the filler will be very minimal by the way the metal finishing is...

A few shots of the trunk extension. Some of these are not updated up to the minute, but you get the idea. If I keep at it, I may have a car built in my lifetime! If the women don't find you handsome, they'll at least find you handy!

Here are some shots of the quarter section. I also had to make sure the wheel lip was right so the trim would fit.

WOW! I guess it's past due time to dust the cobwebs off this thread! I have gotten out to the shop a few times over the past couple months. Here's what's on deck... I sourced the quarter panel section I needed from another FABO member, repaired a little bit of rust on the bottom, redid the wheel...

It's been 20 below zero here!

I had one hooked up on a C-body. The red wire ran to the blue wires on the ballast resistor, and one of those blue wires goes to the IGN side of the voltage regulator. This was on there for about ten years with no trouble at all. I took it out and replaced with points because I had improperly...

Flex plate bolts off?

Great build. I'm inspired!:burnout:

Nice score! Both cars look to be solid.

Yep. That's a factory seam.

As for the lights and gauges, that might sort itself out once you get the electrical gremlins worked out. You had mentioned that some of the wiring under the dash wasn't even hooked up. Some of that wiring could be for the gauges and dash lights. The bulbs in the dash may also be blown or...

Your braking issues may have more to do with adjustment rather than a faulty system. Those drum brakes are actually quite good when everything is adjusted correctly and everything is in good shape. Open all the bleeders to the wheel cylinders and keep fresh brake fluid in the master. Clamp the...

There is a screen that sits at the bottom of the pan with a tube that runs to the oil pump. The pump sucks the oil from the pan and feeds the engine. If the oil is too thick and has clogged the screen or tube, you won't get oil to the engine. Nice solid car! Got interior pics?

The cool factor for this machine is off the charts!!:burnout:

I think the flat finish on the top of the dash is to prevent glare. If it's glossy, the glare won't allow you to see out very well. Ever try to drive with papers or a map or something lying on top of the dash? Same effect.

For the front floor pan, cut the old rusty pan out and lay the new one in place once everything is clean. Clamp it in place, or weight it down from the top, crawl under the car and trace around the sub-frame with a sharpie. This lets you know where to drill holes for your plug welds from pan to...

Welcome to the site! Cool project, and I like the breather cap!!:burnout:

Now show us some pics of your car!!

AH! I should have known that. Music for musicians. I haven't kept up with them in years. Great stuff! I hope to get back to work on my '66 this winter. Been in pieces in my shop for FAR too long!

Cool vid! I like the way you coordinated the still shots with the chord changes! Who's the band?

It looks like somebody relocated the fuel filler location on your Valiant. That patch on the driver side quarter is the tell tale. You said it has no carpet. Is the floor bare, or is there a rubber mat? Some of the bare bones cars had rubber mats instead of carpet. Post a picture of the tag on...

Welcome to FABO!! Love what you're doing with that dart. You mentioned a DeSoto build. I would like to see pics of that car too!

Great stories! Pics please!!

Great looking car, and nice work on that engine!! No stigma on four doors. I would love to drive that car!

That's a nice little Valiant you've got there! Good luck with the build. I'm glad your stuff survived the fire!

Sounds nice! I take it the car will be purple?

Some photos would be helpful so we can see exactly what you need. If your floor is rotted all the way up over the rear axle, you'll probably have to find a donor car to scavenge that piece. There are several places to get replacement trunk floor, spare tire well, and floor pans. Your car is...

Nice work! Welcome to FABO!!
