Hi Earl, beautiful Dart for sure, nice job! what size front tires are you running...rich

Ok thanks, I will put in mail tomorrow

I"ll take them.... PM me your info ....Rich

Good morning FABO, I will be getting my Duster back from the body shop very soon, i was hopeing that you guys could post up some pics of the black out area behind the grill. I am fully aware of how the factory did this but im looking for an over restored look compared to the sloppy factory look...

Craig is my go to guy....

Dana, im in the middle of this project also, i drilled the hole but cant seem to start the zerk. Do you have any advice for me? did you press it in or did you tap the hole....

I would suggest putting everything on the fire wall like the brake lines and wiper motor and the master cylinder. Its easier now, you wont have to reach over the 340...Good luck with your build....Rich

Good morning, just wanted to thank everyone for their responses and pictures, it is very much appreciated. Im going to try and find a paint to mimic the phosphate , any suggestions?

i just received a set from AMK, They are very nice, i have the 6 5/8 length and they do come with the knurl...Rich

i just took the one off my 73 Duster and on the backside where it screws into the hood there is zero corrosion and its real shiny metal, almost like a zinc brightness to it. maybe different years used different finishes? there is no signs of black phosphate on this original one owner 73...

i dont want it to rust, car has fresh paint... i have acess to a zinc plater, maybe go that route?

sorry guys...71 Duster 340...

Good Morning, does anyone know what the original finish should be on this latch? im refering to the safety latch that bolts to the under side of the hood. i was thinking that it might be zinc plated, does anyone know for sure..Thanks Rich

yes they do....Jegs, Dantes, and i think Summit also and possibly more vendors. This is the second car that i have used thier scoops, they are well made and i would have no reason to think that your bezels wouldnt fit in thier scoops.

I recently purchased a set for my Duster.. They are made by First Place Auto, they are really nice. I had to wait weeks for them to be made and even longer for the chrome bezels.
