I just saw this reference to valance painting in another post about the Chrysler assembly line process. A very interesting read focused on SUPERBIRD production: “…For color-coating, the valances are hung with short wires from the roof rails inside the passenger compartment, and painted there by...

That appears to be a 383 baseplate. The stamped hole in the raised round boss at the front is unique to 383s and usually indicates that a factory original part. Later NOS 383 bases dropped the stamped hole. Here’s a reference to help confirm what base you have: 4-Barrel Shaker Bases Engine...

I’ll be there with a car in the Spring Fever display!

They were bare steel

I bought these two ago (maybe 20) from a couple guys vending at Carlisle. They did a bunch of air cleaner option key chains if memory serves. They also sold plastic plugs and covers in kits for engine storage and painting. I still have their kit for a 340. I can’t remember their names but they...

Current eBay auction of an original paint Challenger front valance. Body color on what appears to be the entire underside. Pardon Our Interruption... To Katfish’s earlier comment about the extra work involved painting the valance separately. Wouldn’t there be an equal amount of extra work...

Thanks!

You got me, no idea how things came down the line and through the paint booth. (honestly, not a snarky response). I’ll have to dig up pics I found of original valances. I remember seeing similar patterns on unrestored parts so went with that.

I followed advise from Resto Rick. According to him, valances were painted off the car and the backside was fully painted body color. They were blacked out partially while the other front end blackout was applied. Most had only the center area covered. Attached pic shows how I did mine. I...

I’m taking a car to MCACN next month and would like to get a display board worked up to show a little history and details about the car. Looking for recommendations for folks who can do that type of thing? I see plenty of options on the web but would appreciate input from folks who had good...

I’ve had very good results getting paint and even sound deadener off plastic and rubber using full strength Easy Off. Spray it on and let it sit for about 20 min. I then use old kitchen brushes and tooth brushes to work the softened paint off and a small flat wooden scraper and brushes for...

Phillips in 70, Motorola in 71
