The first set of Pictures, several more to come later in the week. Again, Congratulations to Dave and his team for the results and awards, the car really does raise OE Restorations to a new level. Enjoy the pictures, I mainly captured shots while the car was in the air, I hope someone captured some shots of the top side

I could not agree more. I got to see the Challenger a couple years ago and did not think that they would exceed that car. Was I wrong. Got to go to both Carlisle and the Nationals this year. By far the best car I saw at either event. Congratulations guys on a job well done. So whats next?

I have had quite a few people asking about the battery and where we got it from. It is an original assembly line version that I received from Steven Juliano. Ed Meyer actually supplied the first unit that we were going to use but Steven swapped us out for this one. His was in better condition so it was definitely a welcome up-trade. (Thanks again Mr. J!) The great thing about this battery is that it will never go bad.

How is the battery not going to go bad?

My guess is it is not filled with acid, jump start the car then it will run off the altenator

You are assuming it will ever be started again ...

Modern battery technology! The internals are now fitted with components that are both removable and rechargeable!

Had we not located an original, I would have resorted to whatever is currently available. Of the three OE Gold cars that we restored, this was the only one that had an original battery.

We took the mileage indicator/cluster apart and set it to display 3.1 miles.

Hi Jules. I hope these will show what you were looking for. If you need the correct 3/8" thick, open cell gasket for the mounting plate (reference photos) we now manufacture them. They are not the incorrect foam that is currently being used throughout the industry. We also offer the correct style (open cell) gaskets used for the entire vehicle.

A few people have asked about the color coding on the brake lines. I believe in one of the other threads someone had stated that these were never color coded. Here is a picture of the originals that were taken off of this 10,000 mile Valiant Survivor. I don't know if every example was color coded but it would have been very easy to overlook this detail if oxidation had completely overtaken the different hues. My originals were definitely color coded from the factory!

Do you have a picture of the master cylinder before you removed the lines. I want to make sure the fittings are "clocked" correctly.
It appears as if the purple fitting is in too far, and the gap between the threads and the nut portion is too wide on the reproduction fitting that you used.

The Master Cylinder is one of the few items that we DON'T have a "Before and After" picture. It was replaced before we got the car so who knows how those fittings were originally clocked?!? Just another "lie" that we all covered up prior to the Show! Maybe the "Valiant Team" should be banned from any future Mopar events! Why....the audacity of it all....

Here are a few more from the show! Tom Barcroft will be bringing some really detailed photos and I will post them for those who have requested some close up shots.

hey dave....i find this of interest. obviously your ends were colored from day 1. ive checked my hemi survivor cars and cant find any trace of color. do keep in mind they are power brake cars. has anyone ever seen colored fittings on any power brake cars?
dave and co......super duper job!
