    In the first post he stated the factory frame rails were replaced, so he was at a loss as to location.

    How Could I Be So Stupid/Careless?

    I began taking High School Auto Shop as a junior in 1972. Circa 1995, I was re-building a small carburetor belonging to a 1984-84 Dodge Caravan 2.2 liter four-cylinder for a customer of my then mobile auto repair. Every one knows to be very careful about insuring nothing falls inside the intake...

    Rarest A-body on Fabo?

    I think a four-door with a factory four-speed would be one of the rarest. I installed a four-speed from a '64 Barracuda in my '65 Valiant 100. But since not being original, we will have to keep looking.

    We lost another one.

    Just replaced my phone charger last week (burned my fingers unplugging the old one from the phone) When to Office Max and was told they don't sell my (old) style charger any longer. Found spare one at home in a box later.

    Anybody not using undercoating?

    After all the work scraping, burning, and blasting the old undercoating, I was not about to re-apply it. Black primer, white body color. Extra holes in rear seat belt area are for TTI exhaust hangers.

    Fastener plus "contraceptive" = off the wall combination

    Found a couple of Allen head screws in my loose stash that have little rubber sheaths covering the threads. Don't know if they came off my ABody or BBody or something else.

    Who else USED TO wrench outside?

    Back in the '90's I had a mobile auto repair business I ran from my '85 Dodge Caravan "Ram Van" (two bucket seats, open rear compartment, 5 speed, four cylinder) in Lake Tahoe, California (gets up to 400 inches of snow during winter). I still remember changing out a heater core outside a...

    Unique "5-Pack" Mopar

    When I first fired up my '65 273 two-barrel re-configured to Commando status (and beyond), I used the factory two barrel Carter atop the Edelbrock Tarantula intake (later went to a Holley 600 CFM double pumper).

    What’s the attraction?

    I find the '64-'66 Barracudas look "ugly" from some angles and look "attractive" from other angles. I believe the angle in my "Avatar/Profile" photo is one of the best angles.

    Storage Consequences

    Purchase the '65 Valiant Signet convertible 13 or 14 years ago now, and it still sits waiting for some attention. It could not even be moved around the yard a few months ago, when I found the brake pedal hit the floorboard and the master cylinder was empty. So I performed a fairly complete...

    4 door mopar cars

    I found it much easier to reach my 10" slicks from the back seat in the '65 four-door Valiant (and not much difference in styling between '65 Valiant two-door models and four-door models anyway, especially after I flared out the rear wheel wells). I could see how a four-door Charger might be...

    Message From Previous Owner

    Our '65 Plymouth Valiant Signet Convertible was purchased June 18, 2008 almost 14 years ago! I found Denise, the previous owner on Linkedin and this was her message: "Oh my gosh - do you still have "my" car?? I miss her terribly!"

    4 door mopar cars

    My '65 four-door then (running 1/4 mile in high 12's) and now (running in the 8's) New owners painted it black and "upgraded" the drivetrain a "little".

    Stepdaughter learning how to drive a 4 speed

    Teaching my step-brat daughter how to drive a standard in my 1970 5 speed Porsche 914 (VW motor from factory) on a ranch dirt road. After we turned around to go back to the house on the same road, I continued to bark instructions "now push in the clutch" and her response was "the clutch is...

    Do factory equipped vehicles always have same size drums front/rear?

    My '65 Valiant Signet V-8 currently has 10 inch front drums and 9 inch rear drums. A previous owner swapped in the current 7 1/4 inch rear end from a '74 Dodge. I was wondering what my vehicle originally must have had factory installed for rear drums 9 or 10 inch? And then the question in the...

    Do you get nervous?

    Do we also worry in our sleep? I just woke up from a dream where I saw our '72 Bahama Yellow Satellite surrounded by kids. My spouse had employed the kids to either sand, scrape, or scrub graffiti that had been painted all over the vehicle the night before while it had been parked outside on the...

    Do you get nervous?

    I called a AAA flat-bed a few years ago to tow my '65 Formula S shortly after purchase. The driver finally shows up and when I tell him I need a tow over 100 miles, he comes up with the "fact" he can't tow it because the tags were expired! Being a former CHP officer (South Los Angeles office) I...
