I would have given the engine bay a shot of paint before installation. Just a thought.

I know, but couldnt find the time to do it, loosing my garage so I had to get the car finished as soon as possible.
I probably have what you need...I'll check when I get home later today. You need front and rear?
Please PM me as I do not get on here too often.

exactly what I thought.................LOL
I just went and looked at my cars. I am wrong. There are Plastic bases and vinyl inserts with and without ash receivers.
All of mine are 10" all but one are blue. One is blue base with red insert.
I was thinking 62 darts.
two fronts and two rears for $120 + shipping.
I'll assume you do not want them if I don't hear back from you today.

Update: Car works pretty good, I´ve got rid of the window tint, and it looks soo much better.
Have a few bugs to take care of.
Need to change/drill the kickdown lever, transmission woun´t shift the way I like no matter how I adjust it (too early 1-2, and shifts to 3rd at 6000 rpm). Using transgo tf2 and Lookar wires.
Discovered a 4 inch crack in the top tank of the radiator, took 3 hours to get the radiator out of the car, solder and install it in the car.

Hedman 78030 headers installed yesterday, went in pretty easy, just some minor tweaking of the driverside with a hammer. ( needed some more clearance for the ministarter and torsion bar.

When the mercury hits 80F it's important to keep the fluid balance in the body and that's what we're doing...
And why we're at it why not do som NOS tuning on this beautiful '65 Valiant...
Thanx to Niklas it's easy to see whos glass is whos

Very happy with how the exhaust turned out, little too loud for the long roadtripps but will probably change to better mufflers during the winter.
Also did a roadtripp with evelmopar to an american car salvage yard and got some nice cop wheels.

Update.
Was able to clock 8.82 and 82mph at 1/8 mile with the belvedere.
60' was 2.2sec
This was with old 205/75r15 regular street tires.
The track was 280 miles from home during classic car week here in sweden. Spent the entire week there with my family and put about 745 miles in the car.
The lack of space made me leave the slicks at home.
My daughter is already in to cars and plays hard with hot wheels.

you can shave some time off by removing all that undercoating ya know. weighs a few hundred pound all together and the first ride without it is like dropping your in-laws off. ROOMAZOOMZOOM. SEE YA'S it's as old as the car and no doubt not doing all it should for ya. buy some better jack stands first though. as for getting the push button mechanism to shift a 727? I don't think you'll get the cable to move as far as you'll need.. it only goes about 1 1/2 inch.. that's not enough to cover even park through drive. you have a cable set up now with the floor shifter.? measure just how far that goes. also the cable set up is 2 cables. park is separate on the ol style. so if you do make up linkage to move enough? you only have so many positions. your gonna be short one..
I went through the same deal with the arm rest too. wanna buy a chrome 15" drivers side. NOS... I had all my broken pieces so I drilled a bunch of small holes to tie it all back together and epoxy's it up. it's an obvious fix. looks like it too but it's one less small detail OFF the to do list....cause I sure aint spending another 50.00 for the wrong one again.

I just measured the throw on my old mechanism. it went about 3/4 inch. and I could stop the movement with very little resistance. best option is to find a console and make the hurst look nice.

A couple of films of me and my brother doing some test runs.
Only 7 deg C (45F)
No nitrous was used on thd valiant during these runs. He did however tapped the nitrous a couple of times off camera, I didn't had a chance beating the valiant when he was on nitrous.

Finaly got the steering wheel done. ALOT of filler and sanding.
I opend up all the cracks with a dremel tool befor I put the filler on it.
I also coated the steering wheel with primer before the final paint.
