    Interesting discussion with Classic Industries on Legendary Interior deliveries

    I have some Legendary seat covers on order. Apparently they are 6-8 months delivery which has improved from 8-10 months. I was told that many fabric/material mfg's went out of business during Covid leaving supply issues. It pays to plan ahead. My heads have been out for repair for 4 months and...

    Sedan Door Glass Installation Question

    I'm trying to install the door glass into the door and wonder if anyone knows the correct procedure ('68 Valiant). Right now I have dropped the glass and regulator into the door but not bolted it in. I then thread the vent window assembly in. However, if I fully install the vent window I...

    Anybody have trouble finding sedan windshields?

    I can't find a windshield for my '68 Valiant locally. It looks like they are NLA. They can bring one in from the US for $639 5 week delivery though :sad1:.Anybody have this problem? I hear the Dart and Valiant sedans 2/4door are the same.

    68 Valiant Rear Window Removal

    I started to remove the window by prying one corner out of the seal. I then found a piece of rope along the bottom on the inside. Is the window supposed to come out by itself or does it come out along with the gasket? Just wondering before I go any further. Thanks.

    Headliner Bow Spring retainer Question

    I seem to be short one of those springs/retainers that hooks just above the back window and pulls back the last headliner bow ('68 Valiant) . Are these the same for all A bodies from 67-69? Thanks.

    Valiant Headliner Install

    I'm planning to install a new headliner. I've done an E body before but not an A body. A few questions a) does the rear glass have to come out? b) if so, does the glass push out of the rubber seal or does the glass and rubber come out together? c) best place to get the headliner? Alot of...

    Whats it worth? 68 Valiant Project

    Just thinking about another potential project and there is only so much room in the garage. My '68 Valiant would be a nice find for someone but I'm guessing its hardly worth selling in its current state of restoration: - rust free/accident free Arizona body, stripped to bare metal and primed...

    Restored Instrument Bezel

    I just got my instrument bezel back from CV Custom Finishes. I spent more than I wanted to (its a '68 Valiant. What was I thinking???) but it looks pretty good. The lenses are in it . I haven't been working too hard on the car but I hope to have the interior and engine bay done this winter...

    Anybody got A100 Hemi Dart Seat Bracket Dimensions?

    I've got a set of A100 seats on the way and need to make the aluminum brackets just like on the original Hemi Dart. I'm assuming the Valiant floor is the same. I've got lots of pics but would like some dimensions. Does anybody have these? I tried to buy some off of Ebay but the guy won't...

    Door Hinge Hardware Question

    I'm finally back at reassembling the Valiant. As I bought the car in pieces I'm a little fuzzy on what hardware I need to bolt the hinges to the door frame. All I have is some bolts that look to be all the same size. Some of the holes are just large square holes. What other hardware is...

    Valiant Dana 60 Project Update

    I just put the Dana 60 in after waiting nearly 3 months to get it done up (the story is on a previous post). I ended up with a Detroit Locker, Richmond 4.10s and 35 spline Bear axles with screw in studs. The 50 1/4" width should work out with the 275/60/15s. I made it on the narrow side which...

    Who makes axle housing studs?

    I just realized I'm getting my Dana 60 back to install this weekend and I have no axle housing studs. These are the ones that hold the backing plates on. Any ideas who makes these? Thanks.

    Adjustable Proportioning Valve Questions

    I want to buy new brake lines but need to figure out where my Line Lok/Roll Control and Mopar adjustable proportioning valve will go (I've got front discs now - manual). Anybody installed both? Where did you put the prop valve? I figure the Line Lok will go just beneath the master cylinder...

    Upper Control Arm Installation Question

    I'm getting ready to install the front end which was totally restored by the PO. I bought the car in pieces. The control arms have new bushings. When I put them in place they just drop right into the slots with about 3/16" clearance. Is this right? I thought you usually needed a mallet to...

    Replacement Windshield gasket - Any good?

    I'm debating just buying a new one rather than cleaning all the crud off of the old hard one. Do the new gaskets fit properly? ('68 Valiant)

    67-69 Valiant Question

    I bought this car totally disassembled and am masking it for it's first coat of epoxy primer. Its in bare metal. Is the inner windshield pillar painted or is there a plastic molding for it? Thanks.

    Removed Windshield

    Its been awhile since I have removed a windshield but I got one out without cracking it today. I just WD40'd around the windshield using a flat nylon windshield pencil type tool to break the seal. I got the tool from a windshield shop (n/c). Once the gasket bond was broken I stuffed 14/2...

    Auto w/ 4 speed jump?

    I bought this '68 Valiant project car that had a 4 speed hump welded in. I'm going BB/auto. I'm wondering if anyone has mounted a floor type auto shifter onto a 4 speed hump? Will it look odd? Anybody got pics? Yeah I could just cut the hump out and weld in some metal but...

    What tire size is this?

    I'm requesting some help to figure out what tire size this is (for my new project) I pilfered the pic from carsonline. I think these might be Mickey Thompson Street Drag Radial 275/60/15's but perhaps they are bigger? Thanks.

    Are 10 x 2 1/2 rear drums big enough?

    I got this project car which came with newly rebuilt 10 x 2 1/2 rear drum brakes. I want to transfer these over to a Dana 60 I will be narrowing. Will they be big enough for a 11.5 second car? I'll have manual front discs and a proportioning valve. I hate to spend more money finding and...

    340 4 speed powertrain - What's It Worth?

    I got this power train in a project that I bought. It's a '69 340 with X heads, less than 1000 miles, HP manifolds, new clutch, Lakewood, new Holley 770. It's got a viscous fan. I'll probably take the alternator and starter off of it. The k frame isn't going with it. I'm going to part with...

    Biggest Valiant Tire

    I haven't found any answers in a search. What is the biggest tire I could get in? I have to narrow the diff anyway though although I doubt this would help much without moving the springs and minitubbing. (Pics to follow on the new project.)
