you must realize this is a HOBBY for most of us. EVERYTHING is a fad. in the 1980s I remember model Ts being wall to wall in car shows.....now, you have to be in your 90s to have one on the road! just a trend....like everything else. I can appreciate how much work goes into restoring a car...

Valiant- barracuda has: disk brakes, frame connectors, electronic ignition and dual master cylinder - - - - all incorrect for 1965. We had a show at the school once. A guy showed up with beautiful 69 Camaro, blown big block....hood up and one of my shop kids said "with so much motor, why...

I've had kids: break windshield, swing doors into lift posts, drop and shatter carbs, fry electrical harnesses, gouge freshly painted parts, snap off a ton of fasteners, crack plastic trim....you name it. All mistakes they learn from. That body has more dings than it came in with...

A car was saved that was going to the scrap yard. It was mechanically restored and upgraded for performance and safety. It was worked on as a learning tool for US auto students, 100% funded by the teacher - me. The money in it, exceeds it's value WITHOUT doing body and paint. I'm...

Looking at alot of videos on "lockstrip" type window installs. SOME put the gasket on the window and rope it in. SOME put the gasket on the pinchweld and set the glass in, and work the lip over. What is best? easiest? factory did it, how? gasket on pinchweld?

20+ years in the same spot gave it a nice tan. Fake...there is some. we patch behind the front and rear wheels and replaced a section by the trunk. We then painted the metal with oxide primer, grey primer then blue (actually pontiac blue engine paint!)....and sanded thru in spots to try to...

have this one professionally painted would vastly outspend its value. Plus...they are only original once........

holy moley...$$$$ right there! Donor striker fix. still. 67 is single wall. patch is double wall. (first 2 picts) 3rd is the removal cut. 4th is the welded in patch with pin. Temporary rattle can over striker repair. "good" filler and paint to be applied next year in the resto...

On my 67 Dart 2 dr., the drivers door striker pin was torn out. I sourced a patch from another lister, and I'm ready to patch it in. Just to let you know what I found: On the 67, the floating nut retainer "cage" is tack welded to the back side of the jamb (I'm sure everyone knows...

I have a 67 dart with a round 2" hole where the striker pin belongs. Is it the same design from 67 up to 76????? with a floating nut on a plate inside? I need to mount the striker pin but I'm not sure how to anchor it. Picts would be great! thanks

mmmmm butterscotch!

thanks Rick. I'll let you know when Im ready to order....... Mike

Looking for: 65 Barracuda Sill trim mounting clips. 65 Barracuda rear qtr. top trim clips. Not having much luck with finding part numbers....anyone know? Also: What is the replacement for the OEM seam sealer that they use in the rain gutters and along the trunk area where body seams...

I just want to make sure that its clean inside. Spray bomb some rust neutralizer in there....hopeing to slow whatever rust has started. I want to coat it with "something" just to keep any moisture from hitting the metal and sealing any possible pin holes. Any mopar that I have / had gets...

many times it was applied aftermarket by places such as "ziebart".

maybe this undercoating gun? I would guess the spray pattern at the tip of the extension would be 360 degrees. Anyone use "Fluid Film"?

Im pretty well versed on cowl rot. leaves and crap and years of water taking their toll. But now I have a 65 with no visible holes or rot! amazing. However, I've just went through the vacuum, scaping chore to clean it out. even the inspection camera shows good metal! However....I want to...

$1K max. but it sounds like you REALLY want the car. So get it, its your money and your car. As said before - not worth fixing from an economics point of view.

Looks like it was repaired once before....and its the old rust coming back. Honestly....its ALOT of work to fix it right, cost prohibitive. To just fill/sand/paint and enjoy, thats a different story. Cheap, easy, white is easy to match. but it won't hold more than a few months before the...

Whats the interchange for a 66 Valiant 2dr front glass??? all 63-66 A's the same? I may need one here in NJ...... Thanks

anyone use any of their patch panels? I'm looking for a early A, drivers front floor. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?carcode=1329443&parttype=12481&partkey=2469778&a=FRc1329443k2469778-4042133 Looks pretty "generic" though. any opinions?

I use stuff recomended by a professional show detailer. its called RaggTop. Its made in 2 formulas, 1 for vinyl, 1 for fabric. I used it on a sunbaked vinyl convertible black top. It took 2 applications, but looked like new, and held up for months. Spray bottle application. Mail ordered...

There are 2 bolt holes for the bumper brackets in the frame rail sides up to and including 1973 (pointy nose). In 74, there is only 1 hole in the frame rail for the back of the "shock" mount. the front of the shock mount bolts into a rad. support area. The flat end of the shock mount bolts to...

HI, I need to see some pictures as a reference. I'm going to assemble a 72 Duster nose, but need details on how the grille support, hood latch / mechanism, latch support, rad. support all tie together. I don't have picts of a "before" shot to reference. thanks. Mike

Driver and Passenger seat bracket pairs. (4 pieces) These are the brackets that connect your seat rails to the floor. 1966 Early A body brackets. Comes with seat to bracket bolts and 'square' nuts. Blasted and painted. $100 for the set plus shipping from NJ. PM if interested. No...

I need some decent 73 Dart sport tail light bezels. Mine are very pitted. PPG classics??? sell them on ebag for $350 or so. SHHEEESHHH! I can't afford that. Anyone know of maybe a poweder coater that would fill the pits, then P coat in "shiny aluminum"? All opinions welcome. what...

Not, its not done. Its all jammed out in B5 blue, exterior in blue tinted epoxy primer. I'm sure it will align fine. What you need to remember is that these cars have tremendous variations, car to car, and there is so much adjustablility in the fender/hood/door fitment...that panels will be...

Nope; plenty stong. The shell only weighs maybe 6-700 lbs. We did all the panel work, on its sides, upside down....just spin as needed. The frame connectors were added and tack lightly welded with the car inverted. I then went onto its sides for complete welding of the connectors.

Here you go; 73 Dart Sport - same as the Demon. Use the front bumper bracket mounts and the rear bumper bracket mounts. Diff. adapter plates are needed. Mike

I've seen ads for repop dusters, $300 front or rear. that seems pretty attractive, considering Bumper boyz wanted $450 each for rechromes, no bartering. oh well. How do the repops look?
