Progress: Engine is almost ready, Protrans 727 is here and looks great!

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

I tried to restore the dash in my 330 however it looks really bad! I bought some special "Plastic Chrome" paint, followed the instructions......but it looks like a preschooler did it.... kind of bad! So I need a nice clean dash! Anyone know where I can find one like the photo's attached? I've checked EBay for several months now and have not found anything, someone must have a good parts car?

Hey Tom, who did your Pro Trans? Thanks Bill

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

Hello Tom…There is a shop in Mission that can do plastic re-chroming. MB.

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

check with mrgusa.com he used to sell/restore Mopar dash parts----FED 387

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

also look into Vacuum orna-mental in Romulus Michigan

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

Steel hood and scoop are finished!

Maurice,
Was that CV Vacuum platers in Mission? I had CV do my instrument cluster on my 63 Plymouth and it turned out amazing. But, I received an email from them a year or two ago saying they were going out of business. Which is unfortunate as they did an incredible job.

Any updates Tom?

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

Nothing new, waiting for carbs. A/F was messed up when we dyno'd. Its been 2 months you would think the carb guy's wouldn't be that busy!

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

before you restore dash cluster, not that it matters you have a Plymouth cluster the
dodge has the rectangle speedo, I have a heater delete panel if you need one.

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

Hy Jim! the cluster in the Dodge was the original that came in it. Do not forget ,it's a canadian car.Sometimes, there are different things you can find. when i did that car in 1999,I put back the complete original dash in it.The only thing i change was the trans push button trim plate, i install a delete platefor the push buttons and a delete radio plate.

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

Canadian built could be the difference It is A very nice car I had a 64 dodge alum 440 mod.

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

Canadian cars built in 1963 and 1964 had USA Plymouth dashes in them, as well of you try to decode the VIN it will show that it doesn't exist. As well the standard V8 was a 313 and not a 318. It will give everyone at the track something to argue about.

Help! Hood springs? Where can I buy new hood springs? 50 year old springs just can't keep the steel hood up!

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

I may have some 50 year old ones if you want to try them

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

Indy fast approaching! Is it going to be the mopar or the ford in stock, I hope you bring one of each.

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

The Ford is getting a engine freshen job now. Funny thing about ring seal, if you don't have any it's slow! Tibor will drive the Tbolt. The hemi is still in Phoenix.....and I don't have enough stock points to get in! So we are planning on going with Tbolt and G5.

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

Tom my guess will be a grade point of one will get you in to Indy in stock. It will hot and humid but will still be mineshaft conditions at the big go.

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

I thought a grade point was a grade point? They're class specific?

It would be really cool to see the Hemi car! I've been following this build since the beginning.

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

Awesome looking hotrod cannot wait to see it in person someday. Sorry about the engine troubles, hopefully when it is ready to go it will be a really good piece. Best of luck.

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

I couldn't find any hood springs......spent hours scouring the internet. Came up with a $20 fix! I hope I don't get any grief from the purists?

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

Only one you have to please is yourself...good job! ;)

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

We got to see your car on D3TV this weekend and it looks, as Tony the Tiger would say....., "GREAT!"

Hope to see it in person some time.

See you next year.

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

I can vouch for the fact that it looks great in person too!

Re: 1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 

I have known Tom for years and ALL his builds are meticulous.

Congrats Tom and it was nice to see the car in Vegas.
