    Upsidedown leafs

    Aren't all wagon leaf springs heavy duty? I just replaced the leaf springs on my 64 wagon, 7 leaves from the factory, 7 leaves from Espo's.

    Can the metal rear seat tags attached to the seat springs be decoded? Plus, rear seat info that I unfortunately found out.

    Those 63 seats look just like my 62 seats. Mine have the large rectangular brackets at the base of the seat back that bolt to the floor. Iirc, mine also have the large metal braces. I had seat covers made locally, as no one reproduces, and it made them a little wider, had to push them in to...

    1962 Polara package tray picture request.

    Not sure if you want to try duct tape on the back, but since my Valiant had multiple bends needed, and I made it out of thin board, I ran duct tape on the back of the bend to help it stay together. To clarify, I made it out of 3 pieces of board with fabric stretched over it, not the same as...

    1962 Polara package tray picture request.

    Pic of the push pins on my 62 Valiant, same as 62 Dart. I made the package tray for both. On the Dart it's thin board covered in vinyl, and only the vinyl comes down behind the back seat. Originally there would be a screw in either end, but since mine is only vinyl behind the seat, I ran...

    1962 3 Speed shifter stick?

    I've seen that beauty in other posts, 62s are the greatest. Can't find that shifter handle, yet!

    Ubolts too tight -> distorted axle???

    Both my 62 and 64 had the original rear ends with round u-bolts, as well as my 67 with the original springs, and other cars and parts cars. I never came across an original rear with flat top u-bolts, at least up to 67.

    Love that shifter handle, I want one for my 62 4 speed, but I had to settle for the 64 up.

    Seat ID from 62-65?

    Look GM to me. I had a set out of a 64 Impala SS I put in my 57 years ago, although mine had a full wrap around chrome top piece.

    62 Only

    I removed it on my 2 door 62 Dart, iirc the windshield side moldings need to be removed, 3 screws, and since mine was a hardtop, the upper stainless window channels, which are screwed in after the wide drip rail stainless, not sure on non-hardtop, then any screws remaining holding just the drip...

    Installing a new wiring harness

    I bought the $299 AAW harness for my 62 Dart, with the alternator/maxi fuse kit too. The only pain part was the amount of wire they give you. I bought original style Packard male/female connectors, used the original plastic connectors from my original harness. Yes, it is set up for GM stuff...

    Schumacher Torque Straps and Poly Mounts

    Large enough to hold the engine down, but no matter how large or strong no chain can stop the poly-loc from not working as it has an inherent design flaw. I did, I took original, actual solid steel brackets, put new rubber isolators between them, drilled a hole through both sides and the mount...

    Interesting 64 mirror placement

    My 58 has the factory dual mirrors mounted ahead of the windshield on the fenders. Of course I don't have a pic with them on, you'll have to trust me, it looks cool.

    How to Withdraw Large Amounts of Your Own Money (Cash) From Your Bank Account

    Financial institutions are required to report withdrawals of $10k or more to the federal government. Call the bank ahead of time, ask them to have cash for you to pick-up, a lot of times they have to order big bills. If you don't want Uncle Sam knowing your business, withdrawal < 10k at a time.
