You are really going all out. It looks amazing! I can't believe how great it looks. You've put a lot of hard work and time into it, thats for sure.

 

Good work. Be careful painting inside the engine. The overspray on the valvetrain isn't good for the internals.

 

Noted. will clean the overspray before i put the rocker cover on. Thanks

 

Looks great, needing any parts I have 4 66s.

 

Its public holiday here today (tuesday) and i went and picked-up some chrome parts i sent earlier... Here are some pictures:









And no none of them are new/NOS... all my OLD parts after refurbish...

What do you think?

 

They look new!

 

they really look great

 

They look awesome!

 

Not much to update other than Im just proud of my "refurbished" batt tray hehehhee.

Old:


Now (same old tray!)





Saved me $70 for a set of new batt tray ...

 

baaaaaaad ***.

 

looking good!! never seen anyone paint the K member same color as the body, looks good!

 

Starting to look more like a dodge dart...




I hope you '66 owners love my tail lights...




and finally... my newly "refurbished" dash...

 

that is beautiful it is a lot of time and it will pay off in the end

 

Nice Pics on a nice car.

 

That’s a cool looking convertible you have there........That will be awesome cruzing around in your Malaysia climate.

 

A few more pictures of the Dodge for you













Starting to look more like a Dodge Dart eh?

 

its looking really good

 

Do you think Mopar Muscle Mag might want to feature my car once shes all done up? Being a rare factory RHD and all...

 

Heck forget about how rare it maybe, they may want to run an article simply because of the awesome job you done!
Very nice indeed!

 

Thanks BarFly

 

I would think so. You can always try, and the worst they'd say is no. I'd definetly give it a shot.

 

I think it would be a great MOPAR Muscle story. Its a fine looking car and the logistics just to get the parts you needed is a story in itself. I just received this months copy of M/M. There is a article about the proper way to photograph your car for submission to the magazine. Go for it. That is a centerfold vehicle

 

Not much to update - just some wiring work done.



Got this for US$9.99... not perfect but beggars cant be choosy







Not factory I know, but I think it will look cleaner this way (relays etc. hidden inside the glovebox)

 

lookin good....what wiring harness are you using?

 

None Re-wiring the car from scratch... i.e. one by one... from front lights, to the dash lights, to the tail lights...

 

Absolutely impressive!

 

A bit more update on my Dart project...

Wiring done... now off to upholstery shop...


Beep Beep...







Dash light on


Wiring/relays hidden under the dash/in the glovebox



Not bad for a "Malaysian product" eh?

 

A little update on the Dodge... slowly but surely getting there... Chrome trimmings next!


Windshield getting ready to be installed...


Rubber seal installed...





Yeayyy!!! The best part not even a single cent paid! All DIY with a couple of "friends"...

 

During the weekend, I went to the upholstery shop and installed some of the trimmings... Here are some pictures:










Still work in progress I know..

Note the car is neither cleaned nor polished

Hope u like it!
