    '66 Floors... What's the dif?

    So we're going to put floors in a buddy's '66 Barracuda... everywhere I look, the floors available are for '67-up, with one company going so far as to say in their description "Will not work for '66 and older A-bodies." So what's the difference? Will they physically go in, with the only...

    1973 duster fender lip chrome trim

    I've got a 98,000 original mile, original paint and interior '73 Duster that had them. I have no doubt they came on the car, along with the rocker panel molding. This car was completely unmolested. It even had the original radiator hoses on it. -Brad

    flat black hood paint!

    If you're bucks-down... you can't beat John Deere Blitz Black. Yeah, it's tractor paint, but it holds up well, it has a fantastic sheen to it, it sprays easy, it reduces with their thinner, and low-buck hot rodders have been using it for years. When I painted my gasser, it was $16 a gallon. It's...

    Vacuum Plating Fiberglass?

    Anyone making brand new abody bumpers?

    After hearing about them from John Balow at Muscle Car Restorations in Wisconsin (he's done several factory Super Stocks and light weights, as well as several OE Gold Certified cars for the Mopar Nationals competition) I did a story with Keystone in Brainerd, MN. They do OE chrome for trucks...

    Rocker panel lead seam on '73?

    I've got a question on rocker panels for you guys... Is there a lead seam where the bottom of the quarter meets the rocker, ahead of the rear wheel opening? I took my Duster completely apart last week, and noticed that there is a plainly visible seam at the joint where the rocker panel slips...
