It almost looks like the sides of the seats and the doors are pretty close to b3 blue




Well this is the color I have been looking at all along, but could never find the code...????? If this is the B3 you mentioned, then that is what it will get painted....??????

To me it matches the original interior color the closest.





One sweet looking valiant....anyone happen to know the owner....?????

Isn't B3 more of a Petty Blue....?????

V100 Sedans got the post, V200's are the Hardtop no post.

Not sure on the weight, but according to NHRA shipping weights it's very light, like 2700# quite a bit less than the cuda. I'm hoping to be right around 3000# wet with driver, I've taken quite a bit of weight out and added some also;

Here's a few new pics.....

Got the hump fitted with the Ramrod Shifter.



New Tuff Wheel.



Li'l better pic of the nose....need to find another good deal on an Edelbrock 600 (1406)

lookin real good rickster

I see the hump needed a little trim with the ramrod shifter...would a reg stock hurst shifter fit the hole?? wondering just for referance...

did the holes in the floor need trimed or are they big enuff they way we cut them??

nice tuff wheel also

did you cut your stock hood or is that the light hood you talked about???

I guess i could trade you the V-stack back for another aircleaner set up for the 440

maybe a nice K&N with the extrem top

next time I am down I will bring some rods and see if you will let me use the welder under your bench to weld the spring pads on my truck...which are not done yet

beers are on me next time around buddy

A regular hurst 4-spd would have fit perfect - the ramrod boot will cover all the cut-out section perfect

did the holes in the floor need trimed or are they big enuff they way we cut them??

Didn't have to touch what we originally cut....we're good.....!!!!!!

nice tuff wheel also

Thanks, wasn't sure if I'd like it or not, but now that it's installed I do.

did you cut your stock hood or is that the light hood you talked about???

It's the stock hood, didn't want to drive for 3 hours to ck out the US BODY hood....these aren't that rare and I did keep the cut out just in case....lol

I guess i could trade you the V-stack back for another aircleaner set up for the 440

maybe a nice K&N with the extrem top

{{{{ NICE TRY }}}}

next time I am down I will bring some rods and see if you will let me use the welder under your bench to weld the spring pads on my truck...which are not done yet

Just let me know when you want to do it....!!!!!!

Thanks for the props guys....!!!!!!!!!

That B1 looks like the color of my old 64 Dart...it was kinda turquoise-ish. Myabe i just like it cause its "B1" lol

But that blue on the 65 cuda is gorgeous..you cant go wrong with that one. I like that valiant with the big rims too..dont see many done like that.

I thought Harold would be outta business by now...his product is good but he was way behind on some headers for a while and pizzed alotta people off(unfortunately).

Only going to run a 27"tire and it will fit without modification....actually from my measuring a 30" tire will fit, just limited on width with the stock spring and no minitub

Rickster




I'm not sure how much different your wheel well is on your car vs. a 69 Dart, but.....

My 69 Dart with a stock width 8.75", stock wheel well and spring location could fit a 15x7" Ramcharger wheel perfectly. Some wheel companies still carry them. I got mine for $45 a piece 6-8 years ago. A dog dish hubcap will cover 3" wheel studs too




Adam what size tire is that on the back of your car...????? I have done a ton of measuring and can actually get a 15" x 8" rim in there with a 4.675 b/s

Rickster




There's a guy up in PA that can make 15x8 steelies in any backspace you want. I had them on the Fury, cost $65 each, IIRC.
