    I know that a lot of the back glass trim for a 4 door sedan, 2 door sedan is different from 2 door hardtop, but specifically is the stainless trim along the bottom of the back glass the same? is it the same between 2 door sedan and four door sedan? I'm working on a 67 dart two door sedan.

    Swinger script with a dot not a flower

    I ended up with a pair of Swinger emblems that just have a dot over the 'i' instead of the usual flower. Does anybody know what year these came on??? Do they go with a specific sub model?

    1970 Swinger 340 with light green butt stripe

    Many years ago a friend bought a badly deteriorated 1970 340 Dart. In the end the body was so compromised with rust he sold it and we lost track of it. It had a broadcast sheet and fender tag and when we decoded it all the car came in F4 green with a "light metalic green" butt stripe. I had...

    OER vs AMD door hinges

    I am pricing a complete set of 69 Plymouth B-body door hinges for somebody and found ones that are apparently made by/for AMD and ones by/for OER. The AMD ones cost almost $100 more for the set. Has anybody had actual experience with these 2 sources. I'd love to save him $100, but not at the...

    Saving quarter panels

    We all know that A-bodies are prone to rust in front of and behind the rear wheel wells. We spend loads of time and money to cut out the bad stiff and weld in new metal. But what if there was a cheap way to keep them from rotting out in the first place, or to protect the new metal that you...

    318 scoop call outs & a big THANK YOU!!!

    I put a twin scoop hood on my 1970 Dart GT and really wanted to put engine call outs on the scoops, but the car has a 318 not a 340. In tracing various threads about 318 call outs I found a number of FABO members working on call outs that copied the style of factory 340 or 273 badges. I lucked...

    70 Dart Butt Stripes

    Just saw an article in the new Mopar Action about a guy's restoration of a red 70 Dart Swinger 340. In an article side bar it mentions why this guy's car has the butt stripe cut off at the edge of the rear Valance panel and shows pictures of the Red 340 Dart in the 1970 advertisements with the...

    318 scoop numbers

    I ran across these today and bought a set. They appear to be the same size and font as the factory 340 scoop script. Made of chromed plastic with adhesive backing. It amazes me that they look so close to the original 340 badges. Found in e-bay motors parts and accessories as: 318 ENGINE ID...

    what screws used for attaching trim to fender extension - 70-1 Dart

    So I have a case of CRS (Can't Remember Sh*t). There are 3 screws that attach the piece of Chrome trim in the picture to the fender extension. For the life of me, I can't remember what they look like: shape of head, length of screw. Does somebody have a correct screw that they can take a...

    70 Dart door glass up stops

    I am putting the doors of my 70 Dart GT back together after paint. The FSM shows a door glass up stop. I can't find them if I removed them, so I went looking at the 4 spare two door hardtop doors in my parts shed. None of them seem to have anything where the FSM says it should be - there is a...

    1970-71 grille colors

    I recently bought headlight bezels and parking light covers from an OER supplier for a 71 Dart. They look really nice and fit really well, but the silver color is really different from the 70-7 grilles I have seen. Much shinier and darker in color. Are all those grilles out there just faded...

    Seeking recommendation for exterior and interior screw set

    Lots of different companies offer interior and exterior screw sets for specific year and model Mopars. Last time I bought a set I spent lots of time rejecting what was sent and sending my old screws to the company to get what I actually needed (14 years ago). I'm hoping to avoid all that by...

    How to get a vent window out of the lower metal casing - 70 Dart

    I have two vent windows for my 1970 Dart. One has beautiful chrome trim with the inside latch, but is non-AC clear glass. The other has the tinted glass that I need and pitted crappy chrome. So how do I get the chrome and the glass apart and reinstall the tinted glass in the nice chrome?

    non-hardening sealer for body nuts

    I'm putting a 1970 Dart back together and there are hollow back nuts that hold the front and rear fender/quarter extensions in place. They were originally filled with a non-hardening sealer to seal the hole in the body where they attach. What sealer are folks using to reuse the nuts?
