Hello , welcome good luck with the parts

Hope this is of help, but you really need to discuss which direction you want to go with the car. Restoration, Semi resto, Show car, a bit faster, etc. etc.
How long do you intend the work to take or how long do you mind car being off the road,

Do you want to use the car at the same time

Once you have decided what to do, set a budget @ multiply x 3

I would try to plan on the essentials, parts like dress up kits, wheels, LED lights, etc can always come further down the road.

1) Engine dress up kits - www.Summitracing.com

2)Engine
a) Main bearings - Would not buy till engine is stripped, depends on crank size

b) Small end bearings - Would not buy till engine is stripped

c) Piston rings - Would not buy till engine is stripped, depends on bore size

d) Spark plugs x8 - Need more info on engine, what direction you intend to go

e) Oil filter - www.Summitracing.com or UK American parts Vendor

f) Gasket set - www.Summitracing.com or UK American parts Vendor

3) MSD ignition kit - Need more info

4) Stainless steel exhaust,full system - Is this to replicate current system or upgrade

5) Door cards (AS ORIGINAL) - www.yearone.com

6) The dash to be restored where's the best place - Dont know

7) Carpet as original - www.yearone.com

8) Centre console - www.yearone.com

9) Sun visors - www.yearone.com

10) Dash pad - Poss - www.yearone.com

11) Parcel shelf - Poss - www.yearone.com

12) Rear valance - www.yearone.com

13) Boot floor both sides - www.yearone.com

14) Driver floor pan - www.yearone.com

15) The 2 rear lower corner bits (left n right) im not sure the exact term for them either side of the rear valance - Poss www.yearone.com

16) ssbc brake disc kits prices for 12" and 13" - Dont know

17) A line lock for the brakes - www.Summitracing.com or UK American parts Vendor

18) Wheels, American racing vectors,10 spoke,8x15" for the rear and 7x15"for the front. You will need information with regard to Off set required/wanted

19) Dukes of hazard wheels, does anyone know if we can go 17" or 18" wheels with lower profile tyres - Dont know

20) Passenger side rear wheel trim - www.yearone.com

21) spare keys - Dont know

22) Imperial nuts and bolts (anodized) - Probally best to get all your nuts cleaned, Cad plated in a job lot, Anodized relates to Alumimium materials

23) Silicon radiator/water hoses - http://www.thinkauto.com/ may be able to help, but wil most likely want a pattern

24) Headlights x4 - Loads of new parts vendors/sellers on EBay

25) Led rear lights conversion - http://www.hitechledproducts.com/

26) A braided stainless steel hose kit - www.Summitracing.com

Hey, Mark! Top helpful posting, bet it took a while

mopar_mark · Post by **mopar_mark** » Mon Jun 25, 07 11:25 pm

Bored, waiting for my new toy to arrive.
Sounded like they needed help. Otherwise they could take the wrong slippery slope. Very easy to spend loads of money, still not get what you want, get disillusioned & jack it all in & wouldn't want that to happen to any one

Part of the whole Mopar thing ain't it?

We have all spent our money unwisely at some point

Think we will need more info than pictures

What do they want to do to the car/goal

Time scale

Budget

What skills do they have, mechanically minded.

Might be able to trade their skills for another, to help progress, ease cost.

What involvement level do they want

Engine - Big Block or small Block would be a good starter

Engine Size (Cubic Inch ) 318, 340, 360, 383, 400, 440 (426

)

Block numbers would also help

Is car standard, modified. If modified, what

Is the car running

Condition of body work

Condition of suspension

Condition of brakes

The list goes on
