I used rubber grommets made for trailer lights. Bought locally at a trailer dealer, they cost something like $6 each. I believe it took a 4 1/8 hole.

Thanks. Chrysler charcoal A9

I cut the holes in my 70 Duster, I got the duel scoops. It really cooled the engine compartment down. Before the holes you could feel the heat from the engine bay when driving. I parked once in a friends garage and he mentioned how much heat it threw off. After the holes the engine bay was...

I know basically squat about painting, so may have just been lucky but had rust on the firewall under the brake master cylinder. Can’t remember if I used sandpaper or a wire wheel but cleaned it up best I could and sprayed it with Rustoleum rust converter, primer then paint. That was 7-8 yrs...

oldmanmopar’s explanation made sense, I could totally see closing the door on something bending that out. What I did was put a short 2x2 up by the top jamb and push in on the bottom, trying to bend it back. Did this a number of times, I did get it to move maybe 1/2 of the distance I wanted. I’m...

Thanks. The door just sticks out on the bottom, and just the back of the door. The top is fine, and the front is good top and bottom. Also the bottom front does line up with the rocker panel. If I move in that bottom hinge, won’t the front of the door not line up with that rocker panel? I...

I got a pass side door on a 70 Duster that hasn’t been lined up since I got it. I know minimal on body work. It lines up with the rocker panel at the front of the door, but the back sticks out a good 1/4”. I believe the rocker panel was replaced before I got it. The top of the door lines up...

Just saw this a couple days ago. Not sure if it helps? https://youtu.be/ykurN_hVLj8

In the day had a Jeep CJ5. Put a decent stereo in it, knew someone would take a crack at it. I crossed 1”x1/8” steel under it, sharpened all the edges. Figured they’d go in at night, see the supports, grab them quick and yank. More than once I found blood on the floor mats. Looking back...

As your looking to just slow it down, would a rust reformer or encapsulator work? I used the reformer in my engine compartment a couple years ago, repainted over it and the rust hadn’t come back yet Rust Encapsulator Products: Benefits, Drawbacks, Reviews and Instructions - Autos.com

If you don’t do it now you’ll always look at it and say I should have. What’s another couple days

I’m not out for the last 1% on my street car. But it held a lot of heat under the hood. Car never overheated, but it made riding it toasty. Put it in a friends garage and he commented how it heated up the garage. I made the twin scoops functional, just open into the engine compartment and I...

I used these, got them at a local trailer store

I used trailer light grommets, found at a rv supply store. Worked fine. I think they may come in different diameters, I know I had about a 4 1/8 inch hole

Thx!!

Those speed nuts may be it. The emblem post has a groove running down it, about one turn around the post. Those common? Hardware store or fastenall or somewhere?

I am looking for the fastener of the "medallion" in the image below. This is the little emblem on the grille of my 70 Duster. Don't really want to tap it and use a washer and nut, what else would work?

Looking at going the sign company route on this. Is that a flat black background? Semigloss? Thx

Was thinking of sandpaper, just wondered if anyone else had tried something that worked better. Thanks for the vote of confidence, this weekends project!

Just trying to smooth it out. I would then spray textured paint on it. There are now some chips in the paint. Want it to look consistant. If it wasn't for the chips, which are smooth spots the size of dimes I could just put a non textured coat on it.

No one?

Would like to repaint the grill on my 70 Duster. It is now the textured argent. What would be a good way to get it smooth enough to repaint with textured paint so it is all consistent. Looking at some threads, Scotch brite? Or would that scratch the plastic? I believe it is all plastic so am...

Thx for the response. Will give that a try.

I am trying to clean up the grill to my 70 Duster. Couple questions: How do you polish the plastic chrome pieces? What kind of polish do you use? I got a bent fin, see picture below. Best way to straighten it? It's not broke on either side, just bent. Thanks

Saw a truck completely covered. All I can say is I hope the owner liked it, cuz it would be a ***** to change!

Garage temp is 70f. About 10-15 outside. Wife is loving it. Car is covered so I don't get a big temp drop when garage door is opened. And the family knows door opens, get out and get it closed ASAP. Only opens about twice a day and not at all when I was painting. I didn't think I had much to...

Omni epoxy primer, shop line JB basecoat

Used the degreaser just to make sure everything was as clean as I could get it. I'll probably sand down the areas that lifted, clean and reprime them and see if the paint holds. If that doesn't work I hate the thought of taking it to bare metal but may have too. The primer under those spots was...

Yes, do have a water filter. The are under the master cylinder was surface rust, wanted to fix that along with the nicks. And there were a bunch of them. The places were the paint is lifting are not areas that were bad before, so assuming I did something wrong.

I'll just have to sand the areas that are bad, correct?
