Yeah I was wondering if there was something other than the bondo brand. I try to stay away from that stuff. Thanks for the suggestion. And I was thinking I should taper out the holes so you confirmed that for me.

Got it, thanks fellas!

It’s been a very long time since I’ve been on here but I’m back to working on my Dart. I need to fill the trim holes on my fender extensions. I believe they are some sort of fiberglass resin. What would be the proper way to fill these holes before painting?

Nice ride Forrest! I noticed your avatar, what dept are you with?

I have a similar situation and was told to try one of these: http://autobodystore.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=P267R&Category_Code=P2 It's supposed to work with regular primer so you don't need to use rattle cans.

Welcome! Can't believe i missed that one, good find!

You guys still doing cruises? I'm out in east county.

That striker looks like a bad attempt at repairing a common a-body issue, those strikers break free pretty regularly. My Dart has the same issue, minus the poor repair. Here's a link i was given to do the repair right...

Sweet project....subscribed!

Got a little update, not much but i thought it was worth posting. I pulled the rear glass tonight (didn't break it!). After that i started cleaning up the channels. You east coast guys will probably be jealous...almost no rust at all, just a little pitting. Also started cleaning up the rear...

No worries Pauly, i knew the gasket was going to need replacing anyway. I was mostly worried about not screwing up the trim and glass. I got most of it off after fighting with it several times. I finally figured it out this morning and now the explanation given above makes perfect sense. I guess...

For some reason i'm still having problems with this. If go between the glass and the rubber i'd have to cut through the rubber to get to the clips. I planned on replacing the gasket but that doesn't seem right. The clips are supposed to stay on the car and the molding pops off of the clips right?

Yeah i am fortunate to not have any major rust, good luck with your resto! Been kinda busy this week but i got a lot of the trim off. I picked up a tool for removing the windshield molding so as soon as i figure out how to use it i should have the glass out.

I picked up one of these today. Just to clarify, i put it between the molding and the rubber not the rubber and the glass right? And i need to pull up on the tool but not twist it? Just want to be sure i understand the procedure so i don't break any glass. Thanks for the help.

Thanks everyone! When i found the car, most of the vinyl top was gone so i pulled the rest and sprayed some flat black as a temporary fix. Like i said, i want to paint the top body color so i started the process on fixing those nasty sail panel seams. After picking away most of the factory...
