Head liner update #3…..slow part of the job this week, fitted the raised section for the interior lights & lots of final fill and sand, getting down to final details and last sand ready for paint before making the mould….
Mate you got some serious skill going down there! Outstanding work.

Update #6….I was hoping to show the finished liner covered and in place….a family tragedy in NZ means I have to make a trip back, so work is halted for a couple of weeks…this is where it’s gotten to….

thanks Peedee….plenty more to come, about to start on the custom bonnet (hood, for the US guys!) that's going to be a big job...then back to body repairs!
Amazing work Marty! That ute will turn out great when finished.
By the way, was there a 65 Dart ute in Australia?

Ulf, we didn't get the Dart in Australia, the first Chrysler ute was the 1965-66 AP6(gold ute)...this was only available as a Valiant...the VC range was late 1966-67(green ute) and came in both Valiant and Heavy Duty Dodge versions....basically the VC was the same as AP with new front sheet metal...how's the Charger going, haven't seen an update for a long time!
I have it looked up in the shop. I take it to some local shows every now and then. So afraid something will happen to it. My Dartcharger convertible will get an own thread. I will tear it apart and restore it this winter. Really looking through it. The wagon was great to restore but now it's finished.
It would be cool to get a ute and restore it here in Sweden However I guess the shipping would be a killer!

It would be interesting to do the numbers on an import Ulf….I believe there’s at least one imported in the US…..how’s the NOS battery holding up I pointed you in the direction of?
Just fine. When I fire it up it works great. However every 6 month I need to re-charge it. But for a 54 year old battery Im satiesfied!
