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?

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 
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

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!

Those batteries are available in reproduction FYI
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.

Dave--I am sure you have told us before...but...
What did you do with the Odometer?
Did it get a roll-back???
We took the mileage indicator/cluster apart and set it to display 3.1 miles.

Dave,
could you please post some pictures of the steering column ....
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!
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!

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....
