When the lower hinge sags, people start slamming the doors harder and harder, eventually tearing the shitake out of the striker and surrounding metal. Dynamic Restoration sells a nice reinforcement plate for that spot and they aren't "Crack Smoker" priced. BTW, own a '69 Valiant 2-dr sedan- very...

My mother's family is from Alesund; ironically I use to joke that Valiants and Darts were the official American version of Volvo and Saab for all the descendants of "Squareheads." Oddly enough, this descendant of the squareheads has owned 7 of them and I have no problem driving 'em through...

It looks very good- the color reminds me of a Lancia Volumex I had a long time ago. It was Corsa Rose or Corse Rosa...it's been about 20 years, so I guess brain fade isn't too unheard of. Like your color, it looks great!

Nice work; I hate wiring so I won't be tackling that kind of swap anytime soon- I love the Nissan you had up and also noticed the Opel GT. A good buddy of mine went to college in Evansville, Indiana and his roommate's dad had something to do w/building Indy cars. Why bring that up? 'Cause he had...

I believe a Dakota 8 1/4" rear will have backing plates and drums that could be utilized. Plenty o' them littering the yards!

It's the panel just below the rear glass, but before the trunklid.

Don't forget Adam...once it is 'done' your wife is going to want a new minivan, dog, child, et all! You promised at the start of this thread and I guarantee you she will remember. Of course, in the male mind our cars are never "Done," so maybe your wife will be a little more understanding...or...

Could be either- the hole count is the same (those holes are where the metal bracket grabs the block tabs). The 340/360 mount tabs are in a slightly different locale from the 273/318 on the driver's side. I've got a set, but I am putting together a full-on swap kit that I have to use them with-...

Bruce- thanks for the address (sorry about calling you Bob) and the data tag will be in the mail tomorrow.

Hey DieWilde 13...don't loose those nuts and bolts! Parts are plenty hard to come by in Europe for the "Yank Tanks," but lot of us forget that SAE hardware is not readily available,too! Lived in Germany for 8 years- had a great time, learned quite abit, and met a lot of cool Germans.

Unfortunately, the car was hammered- the spotlight was missing the handle, the headlight switch was hanging below the dash, the d/s floor was rotted to the point that the torsion bar was rubbing on the reminants:sad1:, and everything else that was worth anything we took and sold off on...

A couple months back a '75 Dart came into the P-A-P in Lynnwood, WA...E44-code cop car (E68 is 360). Really trashed, but me and a buddy got the suspension, brakes, the data tag, the radio delete plate (W/3 holes), the defogger, the alternator wiring (goes through firewall w/o using the bulkhead...

Hey Gooon, just to get an idea- how hard is it to find a decent wagon of your vintage in Aussieland? What is the price range? Unless I inherit a ton of money or some such I'll probably never get my hands on one, but some of the others on here just might...

4-dr and 2-dr sedans and wagons...good stuff! Hey, you are running an 8 3/4 in for a rear end, no? I don't know if an 8 1/4 can take the power of the 408 SB. Just a 'heads up,' not meant to sound like a jackhole- I do really like the car!

Imagine an Aussie Dart wagon converted to LHD w/ a GTS hood, the formula "S" dash from a Barracuda, and the rest of a '69 Dart clip on it. Some Kelsey-Hayes rims or Torque-Thrusts (16 or 17 inchers), a nice color combo, and a few other touches....ummm, good!

Hey Demon Sizzler...got a TQ off a '72 D250 w/ a 360 under the hood. Truck had about 70k on the odo, was in a wreck that wiped out the driver's side. Picked up the carb for $30 and was planning on using it on my budget-built 340. Can I pick your brain on this thread (don't want to high-jack) and...

Coming along nicely; not to mention inspirational!

Try to find the book (really the "Bible") by Tom Condran on how to make an old Mopar handle...it's invaluable and will save you many headaches.
