Don't forget this part for your conversion. Z-Bar chassis bracket. Redirect Notice It Goes Here.

Ok , gotcha, Major brain-fart LOL !!

I think you would have to remove the window regulator and the glass to get at it. Even then , I'm not sure what effective swing you would get with a hammer. The procedure works great though when you have access.

That should work ok. Use this. Permatex® Steel Weld 4 Minute Metal Epoxy LOL !! Just posted several different model 71 doors, none with the reliefs for the clips. Why would Mopar do that??

So I looked into this further and the 1971 Duster did not have the square recess for the armrest clips like the 67-69 Cuda's I didn't check the Dart so not sure about them. Here's a pic of a 71 door frame and it doesn't have the recesses for the clips, just a hole. Damm!! Pretty cheezy way...

Just curious. Do you have a pic of the complete door you can post showing all the holes in it? What model is this door from?

Very much like the way it came from the factory.

Yup! Im in that group! Me, I'm taking the carb off to do any work like that. Paid way too much for the motor to risk something falling into it without me noticing and then ruin it for the sake of removing 4 nuts and some linkage.

That's a great looking car!!

I would be in at 38K. First order of business would be to install a HDK or RMS front suspension. These are the only guys I would trust with aftermarket rack and pinion based front suspension systems. Second. Really go over the transmission mount mods for the keisler 5-speed as this is a...

Looks good at first glance . The front end components including the K-Frame look suspect and don't get very good reviews. AJE RACING K MEMBERS ??? Can't tell from pics how the transmission crossmember was modified for the 5-speed Kiesler trans. Stance looks good but ride height is too high...

Hi Mad Dog, Here's how I did my 68 Barracuda. I wanted a finished look as well. Should be very similar for your Duster.

Unfortunately, the armrest base does not use a machine screw, and, the hole is at an angle. Welding /attaching a nut won't work either as it will lay flat . Cutting and spreading the metal and then rewelding the slot takes minutes and works.

Exactly! Very easy fix if you have access to a Mig welder.

Straight foward fix if you are good with a Mig welder or have a friend who is. 1, Cut a slot with a mini grinder or even a Dremel tool just above the hole. 2. Put a large blade screwdriver in the slot you made with the grinder and spread the gap of the slot it until the hole starts to close...
