    I hate to even think of it, but '65 Signet value?

    I've muddled over this AT LEAST a hundred times, but I think in the long run it's probably the end result. The type of car I'm wanting will cost much more than a later A-body in terms of available aftermarket parts. I'm seriously considering selling My '65 Signet to give partial funds towards...

    Frame connectors

    They really should be a required part if you are going to own one of these cars, so obviously they are definitely a planned part of the small build I'm attempting to get going over this next year or so. My question is, are they enough to handle the torque of a 408? The stroker is a plan for...

    Ignored step child

    Any of you guys just ever feel like our early A's don't get the attention they deserve? Hell the early A is among the lightest car available. I work with a guy that was talking about working on his RR and just heated me a little ( not like actually angry) hearing him talk about the parts and...

    How do we value our cars?

    If its an agreed value policy for $20k, then fight tooth and nail to get that. If there is no agreed value, make them give you comparable cars in a list of at LEAST 5 cars, to your car, that they base the offer off of. If you don't have an agreed amount, I don't see you getting much more than 5...

    Valiant rides again

    Thats myfavorite part about having one. Some times you'll get the guy that says, "oh cool, I havent seen one in *** years." But most times I get a fuzzy look and they ask if it's like a nova... :banghead:

    Gears or torque convertor

    This cant be stressed enough. You have to utilize the power band when you get a converter. And make sure you have a good tranny fluid cooler too. You can cook a tranny in short order with out one.

    Is something missing off my 65 gas pedal?

    You are right I think, from some of the OP's previous threads, he has a /6. I threw my .02 cents in and screwd up the change.... my fault.

    Is something missing off my 65 gas pedal?

    Yeah, they were both V8, I had no idea there were different setups for V8 vs. /6. Learn something new everyday. Cool.

    Is something missing off my 65 gas pedal?

    My 65 doesnt have that at all. All i have is the pedal and a rod thats "spooned" that allows the pedal the slide on it. Looks like a home made job to me. My 64 barracuda was the same as my 65 valiant.

    A body hood torsion rods help

    No nut needed to hold the hinge on as said before. I brake rotor clip, the kind that goes over the wheel stud would work. OR the washer/cotter pin idea sounds ALOT safer really. They have a fair amount of pressure on them, but depending on how bigga boy you are, you wont have trouble with them...

    show me your early A!

    GREAT to see another Wichita A-body. If you need an engine I ahve a few. Shoot me a pm if you think you might want one of them. They're in newton is the only catch.

    Narrowed 8 3/4?

    Damn, can anyone say brain fart?! I guess I'll blame the horendously incorrect math on the fact that i was at work and thinking of 10 things at once. that extra .5 per side wont cause me any problems would it? The rear is $375 with a 489 center. I figure while I'm under there doing the lower...

    Narrowed 8 3/4?

    Something just struck me odd about this? a three inch relocation kit is on theis rearend, but isnt stock supposed to be 43"? it says here that center to center is 36", thats 6" difference.

    Narrowed 8 3/4?

    Looking at this rear end for my 65 valiant. something i should buy? or pass? I'd have to relocate the springs as my car is 100% stock in that area. here is what the guy sent me: something you would buy? and if so what would you pay?
