To me it has more heart and soul, recovered like that instead of pricey OEM covers or switching to buckets.

Welcome, great car and great to see your love for Mopars, young people are needed to keep these cars alive, you are lucky to have a Dad with the ambition and know-how to pass down to you.

Wow you don't mess around. '66 one-year style with all the knife-edge lines it has is very cool.

Capt if you get new leafs, stock height from ESPO will lift it just right. +1" takes it over the top and throws the handling off which would be a shame. Just my 2 cents.

If I could choose one a-body from this site to own, yours is it. The Citron Gold if it hasnt grown on you it will. Really cool you saved this '66.

You can tell the previous owner was devoted, congrats on the find.

Very cool b-body, I remember when they first came out. Is it going back to green...like a grass snake?

Those a/c units work well...at night you'll have it on low and make your teeth chatter, all the metal inside the car will chill.

Welcome, this is the friendliest and foremost site for a-body knowledge. That's a real special one you have there. Thank you for saving it. Wait till you see how nice it drives.

New carpet makes a world of difference, especially the red! Regarding the springs, I got mine from ESPO, like everyone else says, they were extremely helpful and shipped fast. I got +1" and it gave a very noticeable rake and changed the handling, neither of which was an improvement. If you get...

Gosh, the interior will probably clean up as nice, you can take it to a car show.

Tell them, Tommy! That this is how it's going to be, I worked hard so I could enjoy my retirement, I'm going to be spending a lot of time finishing my car now, if you want me to babysit and run errands I can do that a couple days a week and let's figure out which days.

As long as you like it...my family's '66 came with ostrich-grain inserts in the door panels. It would bother me to see it on the dash top. But looking forward to see your finished product. Nice to see something different.

Congrats! Re: the brightness of the yellow, IMO after a little time you will become accustomed to it and like it, also once the trim, chin spoiler etc is on it will look great.

Welcome, yours is just the kind of Valiant I'd like to find. A white painted top stays cooler in the hot sun, and it also makes the car more visible to other motorists, adding a bit of peace of mind that someone would be less likely to pull out in front of you, or not see you...

Well dang. I'm bummed, I can imagine how you feel. When I had my '65 painted, a few small issues I decided to live with, for my own mental health. But there were some things I insisted they fix and they agreed.

Kudo's for doing all you did yourself! That's a cool photo of Salma, hope to see the "after" taken coming out of the shop. Here's a thread I found searching "butyl" because that's the sealant you must use, not acrylic or whatever else. On this thread is says use butyl tape not the liquid caulk...

Don't hate, when you do, somehow they just keep on giving you problems. Might sound crazy, but can anybody prove me wrong?

Paul, you are FABO member #454, almost 11 years, that's a place of honor!

What did it turn out to be? The seatbelt ignition interlock? You're doing a very respectable job on your Scamp!:cheers:

Congratulations, Ulf, that's a great accomplishment. And, for you to thank FABO members right away for their help, a very classy gesture. So glad you won.

I agree, that combo really says "1969."

Very nice to see the tlc you're giving (hard work.)

Please, please, go show it to her. It's beautiful now, don't wait.

FWIW I like the light yellow it is now.

I can't believe I somehow missed this great thread. Yes our immediate priorities change as life dictates...thanks for keeping this thread going. You only have one "first car," it is rich in memories already and someday you'll have time to work on her again with the next generation of your family...

I like it a lot, nice job.

Welcome, you don't see many Feather Dusters, glad it found you. Don't be afraid to ask for help here. Young people like you are what will keep these great cars around in the future.

Good to see you are succeeding in keeping the M.S. in check, that takes an enormous daily effort. Looking forward to seeing more updates on your Dart in 2015!

Congratulations, a deluxe Signet that you can shift yourself! Very nice!! Welcome to the site. What color is the interior?
