    72 Duster Instrument Panel Rechrome?

    You mean Bare Metal Foil right? I never thought of using this on plastic bezels but it should work and look pretty good. I would just be concerned how durable it would be over time. I used to use this stuff on models with great success although durability was not an issue as the models dont get...

    1970 Dodge Dart front bench seat

    That seat is nice, are they re-covered or original? I see a builders sheet so I am guessing original. Great shape if it is! Wish I was closer shipping across the country would put it out of my price range.

    Are these the screws to hold windshield trim clips on a fish?

    You could use #6 screws and offset the holes. (Drill new pilot holes next to the old), and fill the old holes. Or weld up the old holes to add a little material. Put a welding blanket down on that paint.

    Fix for a 4-button climate switch

    I am thinking the blower motor resister is bad. I need to probe a few areas with a test light. If I end up hotwireing it I will use a relay. I had it hotwired with a relay when this car was my daily driver just to get defrost. I have replaced my push button vaccume controls with a new unit from...

    Fix for a 4-button climate switch

    Wish I saw these diagrams a few hours ago. Much easier to understand than the factory service manuals. I have my vaccume lines hooked up and the push buttons seem to work like they should, although with the AC not charged its hard to know for shure if all of it works. I tested all of this with...

    I have looked at RT's website and searched for these and can't seem to find them. Not shure if they just don't have em or if there just not listed on their website. I will have to give em a call.
