"I have nothing but respect for you, and very little of that." -Groucho Marx

I am insured thru my regular policy (Cincinnati Insurance Company). Rates are stupid cheap and they really don't seem to care that much about how I drive it as long as it isn't my primary source of transportation.

Thanks. I have been looking at those. Problem is that they only list them as fitting hardtops through 1970. I have written this vendor, and the other vendor who has them listed, and they were clueless as to what they actually fit. Our friend Rick from Laysons confirms that they are basically...

Speaking of tint laws: http://www.tintlaws.com/

Good point. That's seam sealer, not undercoating. The stampings are spot welded together, then the seam sealer is applied to keep moisture from seeping in. You will want to dig out all of that, then use a seam sealer like 3M seam sealer to reseal the seams. Mother Mopar slathered the crap in...

OK, lets try this again. I am working on a 1971 Swinger. I need wheel opening mouldings. Are any other years' mouldings correct for this model?

How much difference is there in the wheel opening mouldings of the hardtops between 1967 and 1976?

Thanks. I removed a tinted piece of glass a few months ago, and it involved an air-powered cut-off wheel to complete the job. I got the glass, but I ruined the crap out of everything else doing it! I think I missed the allen screw under the smallish plug! THANKS!

I talked to a Guardian glass dealer last week. They had tinted windshields in stock in Cincinnati for $150 cash and carry. They don't install glass that old. That's for a hardtop, but I am sure the others are priced similarly. The fellow I talked to said that they will make any windshield...

Are the headliner bow clips the same in 1971 as they are in 1970?

Then how'bout a step by step for those of us about to face the same PITA? ;-)

If you switch to LED lamps you may need to upgrade your flasher unit as well. The LED units don't draw nearly as much power as the 1157's, so there may not be enough current draw in the circuit to make a thermal flasher unit work properly. Sylvania sells a Silverstar 1157 bulb that is...

It's been a year now since i tore my 71 dart apart. It's on its way back together now. But, after a year, you kind of forget stuff. On the back of the parking light assembly there is a .250 tab that aparently grounds the parking light bulb. Is that true? If so, is there a separate lead that...

2 Darts - you're absolutely right. I get so caught up in stupid minutia (sp?) that I lose site of reality. I do try to keep this crap original, not to please anyone else, but to please me. And that's great, up to a point. I have a 1947 Chrysler New Yorker. neat car. It has 2 heaters...

Anybody know where to get a new "correct" heater control valve for an air conditioned 1971? Everybody (Advance, Autozone, RockAuto etc) sell a unit that I am sure is the functional equivalent, but is nowhere near being correct - appearance wise.

I don't recall where I read that, but I am certain that i did not dream it. What is the point of using ATF+4 in a transmission not designed to use it? While I realize that many people open their wallet and gladly empty it whenever someone uses the word "synthetic", ATF-4 is half again more...

My name is Dick, and I'm a redneck.

Wait 'til you hit 50. Then the parts REALLY start falling off. The good thing is your memory starts to get a little weak, so you don't remember what all those parts were for in the first place. ;-) The hurting joints I can deal with, it's the stiffness that kills me. I love working on these...

I'll bet the horsey isn't gonna buck when they tie him up like that, either.

I used the kit you are talking about, it's the best 20 bucks I ever spent. Wally World also sells it, comes in a silver pouch. For those who have a talent to pinch a dime, you can use buffing compound with a buffer, then hit them with a clear coat and get good results, too. Without a good...

The Demon/Sport windshield is different than the hardtop windshield. I THINK the sedans had different windshields than the hardtops. You will probably want a gasket, too. The best deal I have found is Danno Enterprises @ $75 for front or rear. I ordered mine last Friday and received it on...

In 1971, the Tuff wheel was available on the Demon, but I have never found literature that indicated it came on the Swinger, at least not in 1971. You say you're not interested in a "numbers matching" restoration, so a Tuff Wheel would be a great choice, or just about anything that trips your...

ATF 3 or ATF 4 is hell on the seals and is not recommended. Stick with Dexron III.

That's a lot of car for $1000. They don't sell that cheap around here......

Legendary (www.legendaryautointeriors.com) has them. I have used their interior parts on a couple of projects and have been very well pleased.

Thanks! Best laugh I've had in weeks!

You have a lot of friends here and we are all thinking good thoughts.

The cheapo way to do it is to find a 1972 V8 car with electronic ignition. Electronic ignition was optional during the 1st half of the 1972 model year, so the electronic ignition wiring harness was separate from the main wiring harness that year. Electronic ignition was a $25 option back...

And now a word from the other side of the counter: You would be amazed how many times customers come in, and not only do they NOT know what year their car is, they don't know the model, and some even don't know the brand. Brakes are my favorite. I asked a guy what the gross vehicle weight...
