1965 Dodge Dart 270 wagon

That turned out real pretty Ulf. Nothing wrong with the Cragars at all but I really like the clean look of the factory wheel covers and narrow white walls.

I wonder if these whitewalls would be better on factory rims? I think blackwalls would look great too!

I thought this was easy but I need three set!

You can't have too many Ulf. LOL

True!

After 3 weeks of rain and foggy weather the sun showed up. A trip around the lake in stunning colors of fall made our day!

The outside mirror on the drivers door always need to be adjusted after the door is closed. What do you guys do to prevent that?

 

[Aaron65]

I usually just hit the ball of the mirror with Super Glue after it's adjusted the way I want. It stays until I accidentally bump the mirror.

Finally all four door panels showed up today. SMS did a great job.

Ulf, I know that PP&R was recommended to you, and that you said you checked but couldn't find anything on their site. (They are now defunct, apparently.) Did you find a repop? What was your resolution? And in particular... On my '63 Valiant V200 wagon, there is a rubber extrusion at the end of each tip that wraps a bit over the interior molding. I'm wondering if your wagon had those, and what you did about it.

Thanks
Dan

I'm not quite sure what you mean! Can you shoot me a picture? Of cause, if I can help I will.

PP & R? Australia, I take it. Have a website link? I know of Rubber Seals, but I'm wondering if you're referring to another supplier.

Thanks
Dan

Ulf, I quoted you in my post. Within that quote there is a link to a picture attachment. Click on that and you’ll see what I mean.

Thanks
Dan

The "rubber seals" link?

 

[65dartcharger]

Ulf, this is your photo. You said it needed replacing. What did you replace it with?

Thanks
Dan

I'll see if I can make room and shoot a picture for you.

 

[65dartcharger]

Do you mean the U shaped profile where the glass runs?

 

[65dartcharger]

Yes.

Look at the picture that YOU took. PLEASE. That one.

I found a used one in Finland. The car was wrecked in mid 70ies. Was in great condition. Have you checked Joe Suchy? I know someone in Australia repops them.

I have the old one if you need it.

 

[65dartcharger]

Thank you! But I have one in poor condition, much like the one you replaced.

Joe Suchy is looking for a good one so he can use it as a template to have it reproduced. He doesn't have anything at the moment.



I think this must be Rubber Seals Australia - see post #568 in this thread. They have something that will work, but it's not a repop - those won't be available until the end of next year.

I might give Joe a call. I could copy mine!
