Is the top of the rear panel slightly rounded with the lower part being flat? Thanks

Sounds like a noble cause. I don't think you will get too many takers, times are hard for many persons. Thank You to the persons that donated, big time. As for the comment on smokes, so what? It was his choice, and what bad habits do you have? I don't believe it is relevant. Matthew 5:42 -...

Did you flange one side or did you butt weld it? Did you use a mig? If so, what gauge wire? Do you have a picture? Thanks

This is an informative thread, and people do still have questions. Bodywork is an important part for many of us that do our own cars. I can see where the person who pays to have all his work done, doesn't have a clue what this thread is about or implies. My opinion, and I am sure many others...

Were the wings only offered these 2 years? Were they offered on the big bodies as well?

I understand about greed and as long as there are people, greed is their driving factor and they would bend over their mother, father, sister, brother, neighbor, lifelong friend to make a buck, there are true people in need of parts that are in the low income category and can't afford to buy...

Thanks on the Duralast info. Will have to check it out.

How thick is the butyl tape that is going into the channel the where the windshield goes? If it is too thick wouldn't it hinder the gasket fitting into the windshield? The reason I ask, I have seen butyl rubber in a roll in an RV shop. It might be 3 mm thick. I was wondering if the butyl also...

WOW, Thank You for all the information!!!! It is appreciated more than you can realize!!!

WOW, nice thread!! Thanks

Thank You for the thread. I believe I will have to use a few of your ideas, if you don't mind!

After reading the replies, and varying information, the people and their knowledge is what makes the A Bodies site a great site. I realize this wasn't my thread, but have to say thanks to all for your knowledge.

I have a 1970 Valiant Duster and would like to know if there is a good tutorial on installing a windshield. Or has anyone done an install and took a video or pics on how to install? Thanks

I would go to the auto parts store and buy a nice set of precut wires and put them on. No need to get technical unless you have headers and need high heat wires.

Sounds like your voltage regulator. Do your headlights, taillights also pulse? Did it do that BEFORE you replaced your alternator? If not, I would say your alternator might be the problem. Auto Zone and Advance Auto have been known to sell bad alternators, and I have gotten 3 bad ones in a row...

I also don't understand why the spring will not stay in the rectangle hole. Shouldn't matter because the rectangle is not any larger than the round. Must be a problem with your spring.

If I were you, just install it and drive it. You don't have to jump into trying to keep up with the neighbor, so to speak. Anything you do is going to cost, money and time. There are a lot of stockers running around, and stockers run pretty well.

Many good ideas. It is a simple matter of elimination. Check to see if you are getting fuel. Easy enough, remove the fuel line from the carburetor, place the line into a jar or can or whatever, have someone crank the engine. If it is pumping, you will know, naturally if it doesn't pump, you need...

Hi, I see you are replacing your own windshield. Do you have any photos showing how to do this, or is there a site that shows how to do this. Thank You!!

Can anyone show how to install a windshield or rear window, or a site that shows how to install?? Thanks

Thank You for your expertise and offering this once in a lifetime opportunity to hear as well as see how to do bodywork. This truly makes understanding how to use filler, correctly. How would you work a panel that has been stretched and needs shaped, without resorting to the high cost of...

As far as fixing these rust spots, you have a few options. 1. Sand panel until they are gone (or as close as you can tell) 2. Grind panel with some sort of abrasive wheel (this may require you to do filler work if it is taking metal from the panel). 3. Chemically treat the area with an acid...

I used the rust convertor that advance auto sells. I used it on my 37 Dodge on the cowl and cowl vent, dash and back of dash, and a few other places. I let it sit 24 hours or so, then run a fine sandpaper over it, primered and painted the car with a base coat, clear coat, never had another...

I also had a truck 318 in my 70 Valiant/Duster. It came out of an old Dodge PowerWagon and was one healthy little engine. If the pan is backwards, take the one from your old 318 with pump and replace them on the truck engine.
