I just did mine in my '72 Duster last weekend. I picked up a Walnut Hollow hot knife on ebay-it's a glorified soldering iron with screw in #11 xacto blades. Doesn't look like much and I was expecting to be disappointed but on the contrary, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't want to just cut...

I would double nut them and back it out with the inside nut.

Dynamat and spray-on bed liner? Sounds heavy. And not in a Marty McFly/Doc Brown sorta way. When I did mine I painted all the structural parts (frame rails, etc.) and undercoated the sheet metal. Overspray was had but it's a black car so I didn't have a problem with that.

I went with TTIs because the 340 I finally got didn't come with exhaust manifolds at all. My choice was paying a small fortune for stock 340 manifolds or paying a small fortune for shorty headers.

1970-71 Dusters and 1971 Demons had the option for the "Rallye" dash seen in 1967-69 Barracudas. Discontinued for 1972. Photo is my '72 Duster with a Rallye dash, just because I like it better:

I cut the channel back about an inch from the end of the bow and I still had to cut it more on some of them while putting it in, so be prepared for that.

Mine's a 5 hp 20 gallon roll-around that does the job.

Hit a milestone moment on this yesterday (Tuesday) and that's justification enough for an update on The Progress So Far: Been working pretty steady on lil' Taz when I have the time and while most of it hasn't been photo worthy plenty got done. One of the biggies was replacing the lower control...

Bumped for an update-mine showed up Monday the 11th, just shy of 2 months earlier than anticipated.

That cardboard isn't (or shouldn't be) glued down solid-a part of it is not. The end of the clip slides under the area that is not glued. (edit) To pile on: The cardboard glued to the back of the sail should be a sort of ring shape. The clip goes in the hole in the 'ring' and under it where it...

Had the same issue with mine when I replaced them around 2000. I used a chisel and carefully hammered the line into the panel one half inch at a time. Time consuming but it did the job.

No pics because this predates digital photography but the first car I bought with my money was a '73 Challenger-318 slapstik, red with B&W interior and white vinyl top. $100. The PO drove it out of coolant and cooked the 318. Dropped a 360 smog motor in it and promptly beat the hell out of it...

Mine showed up in mid December and I've only dry fitted them with the doors off and they seem fine. I'll know more once the doors are back on but I don't foresee having issues with them. The only issue I have is there will never be another set for '72 only available (from AMD anyway) so I have...

I've only stripped about a dozen A Bodies over the years but I have never seen anything in the "red circled area". Not sure if anything ever did go there but there's nothing in my '72 Duster. The play in the column plate to firewall is there so you can line up the steering shaft to the...
