MikeRL411 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 That hose connection from the water pump to the intake manifold pre heat is amazing! They are unobtainable for many years, I have been fabricating my own for 20 years. The hardest "original" parts are, no surprise, the front window, followed by the RL411 sized air cleaner and air filter, they are an inch shorter than the roadster version. The original battery is a size 53 and sits in a hard rubber "cup". Peerless Auto Parts in Inglewood [i think, the towns all run together at that location] stocks this size. An after market Honda battery hold down fits just right but does not look like the stock heavy wire gauge hold down. You also have the original water pump and window cleaner receptical, now to get a proper radiator with auto transmission cooler! Quote Link to comment

Paul G. Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I'm pretty sure you are looking at a red 1967 Dodge Dart. I drove a ruby red metallic 2-door '65 Dart for 18 years. Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 well there are way too many cars at my work so idk. ill find out for sure on fri, but im sure if u say u had one for 18+ ur right Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 When you get to the point of installing the radiator post it up. I can give you part numbers for readily available hoses that can be cut to provide both upper and lower hoses from one part number. One manufacturers part number even has a braid overlay and looks stock when installed. Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 sure will. love stuff like that. i might actually still have the hoses also tho. ive got parts in the floor, trunk, and a few boxes. ill see wat i have and post pics of it to see if its the right stuff Quote Link to comment

erichwaslike Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 so i worked on it today. i pulled everything out of the car and swept all the dirt and stuff. found out i have the original truck mat and both the cardboard sheets between the gas tank and the seat and the gas tank and trunk. back seat is in almost perfect condition. rear carpet is shot but will do for now. front carpet waas moldy and torn up so i kept the buttons and foot mat from the drivers side so i can make a new one. i also used rubbing compound on the fender and rear door. it cleaned up pretty good and i wont be painting it anytime soon cause i think it looks fine. there is a lil rust in the trunk but it looks to all be surface. so here they are oics as promised Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Good score..kool car & i love the color. Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 right on i love how all these 411 are popping up !! Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 JCWhitney offers a floor mat set, front-back-and-drive tunnel for the 410 and 411 sedan. They also have the male and female snap fasteners to attach to the tunnel and floor which mate exactly with the factory installed ones. A caution, if you have the automatic transmission, no matter how loudly you tell them, you will get the tunnel floor mat cut for the manual transmission lever. I have these on my 411 and they have the loop pile like the factory ones. The fit between the front floor mats and the tunnel piece need a little TLC to get an acceptable mate but well worth the effort. Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 yes to the carpet ? or to the cage? Yes to the carpet heel pad. Same location, shape and color as the factory original [at least in my black loop pile set]. Quote Link to comment
