    Brain fart...trying to install new studs on dual scoops

    Success! Found a flat tipped bit that was the perfect diameter to let me thread those guys in. Now I wait for the sun to come out and I can put these things on :D Thanks, guys!! EDIT: I just wanted to toss it up on here that I have 8 extra studs, so if someone one day does a search for studs...

    Brain fart...trying to install new studs on dual scoops

    I was just looking in the garage for some bits that will be just a smidge smaller than the studs, so that there's less plastic to bite away for the threads. Trying to transfer photos, but they won't send...gyah. Going to try opening the hole some and will stay optimistic... ... :)

    Brain fart...trying to install new studs on dual scoops

    Well, ****...I'm already committed trying to go with the studs that have the lip lol I really do appreciate the recommendation, but getting these things to work since I've already bought them would be optimal.

    Brain fart...trying to install new studs on dual scoops

    It would be a very coarse threaded helicoil (I got a pack like these 1970 Dart Swinger 340 Hood Scoop Mounting Stud Kit New MoPar) I'd prefer to not go buy a helicoil for it, but I do suppose that would be a good option if I cant figure something else out :)

    Brain fart...trying to install new studs on dual scoops

    Alright, I'm not sure why it's not working, but the self tapping studs arent tapping, they're just eating the channels that they're supposed to sit in. I have two scoops for my 70 Dart hood and was missing 8 studs between the two scoops. I got a bag of extra studs and need to toss them in, but...

    Windshield sealing? lock strip

    dengit...just got back from a trip and went out to look at the glass. Rear weatherstripping is completely different from the front, and the front, though slightly different than the pics above, still has that slit. I will fiddle fart with getting the lock strip into the front stripping, but...

    Windshield sealing? lock strip

    Pictures are perfect. Thanks a bunch for clarifying. Besides its obvious name, what is the purpose of that strip? I can understand some extra pressure being applied to where it seats against the body and glass... Is that it?

    Trunk Weatherstrip

    I used softseal on my 70 swinger and wow it's nice. Just the right thickness to keep it quiet and awesome.

    Windshield sealing? lock strip

    I will try the lock strip first, since it doesn't involve adding sealant or removing the glass hahah Just to confirm, though (and assuming this were model correct) it would go in the same groove as the one that the lip tucks into as seen in the photo?

    Windshield sealing? lock strip

    Correct, it's a 70. I don't know what I'm doooooiiinnngggg lol

    Windshield sealing? lock strip

    Hmm...sorry if I am making you repeat yourself, but the lock strip goes in the gap that ties in with the gap pictured, but it runs from each end of the bottom, up the sides and to the other bottom end - thus not going into the spot where the lip is tucked in?

    Windshield sealing? lock strip

    I should also add that I'm at just about the same spot as the picture above. New clips are in, I can see that bit of metal underneath the weatherstripping, but don't want to go any further if I end up needing to back track. If a sealant is necessary under the trim, what sealant is recommended...

    Windshield sealing? lock strip

    Thanks for the input. He didn't use any sealant to install the weatherstripping, and since I asked him to not toss on the trim because I want to polish it up, he didn't use any sealant for where the trim goes, either. He did mention that he could plug in the sealant for me, but it would make...

    Windshield sealing? lock strip

    Ooookay, I got the front and rear weatherstripping for my 70 Swinger, as well as lock strips for each end, but how do these strips go on? The guy that did the glass install wasn't sure what to do with them and now I still have leaks when it rains...grr...makes me feel like either 1) I got...

    Windshield locking strip on 70 swinger?

    Do I need a locking strip for my 70 Dart? I thought I was good to go with the weatherstripping only and then I saw that some of these A's require locking strips...deng...If so, front and rear, or just one? Will this guy work out...

    Roller on rear most guide of 1/4 windows

    I just got the roller for the 1/4 window and went to toss it on, but the guy is proving a bit more of a hassle w/the regulator in the car. When I went to compare it to the roller on the opposite side, they are both black and approximately the same size (cannot say for sure because they're in...

    Tips on how to restore door vent window trim?

    I have been trying to find tips on how to restore my vent window trim, but have had no luck. These guys are chromed, correct? Is my best bet to pull the trim, remove the glass, bring them back down to metal and redip? It's currently pitted due to bits of rust.

    This makes me sad...

    Yea, that's what I was thinking. Bah, gotta pay off the equipment somehow? :P I just came across mrmoparts and also R/T specialities. Shot R/T an email...there are several different rollers on the site, but fortunately the ones similar to the listing above are only five bucks. Hope I can...

    I found the nut I was hung up on, but that picture helped me figure out the ac box. Thanks!

    I feel like a butthole because heaters seem to start many threads...

    ... But I can't figure this out. Let's see if anybody can guide me a bit... Pretty please. I must be doing something wrong or simply can't find the Damn bolt that connects these guys. Car is a 70 Dart with factory ac. I just ordered the seal kit from dmt and thought I'd get a head start by...

    Inner fenders welded or bolted in?

    Thank you for the input, guys. Getting excited... Hope this car isn't gone before I get to it

    Inner fenders welded or bolted in?

    got it, thanks. So if/when I go to check this car out, what are some common reinforcements people make to keep it structurally sound? Guess I'll have to keep an extra close eye out for sagging.

    Inner fenders welded or bolted in?

    Just as the title states, I'm wondering if the inner fender is welded, bolted or a combination of the two. I have my eyes on a 70 swinger that had the inner fenders pulled, found replacement fenders online with a quick search (so I know they can be found) and am wondering if they need to be...

    What is the front most fender piece on a 70-72 dart?

    Hey guys, I may have found a good candidate for a dart, but it is missing the panel that is just forward of the front fender. I have tried looking it up, but to no avail. Is there a name for this guy so that I can start looking up prices? It blends right into the fender, and looks to be where...
