    OPINIONS...........CHROME OR PAINTED RALLY MIRRORS?

    Beautiful Demon. I vote no chrome on the mirrors. I have chrome mirrors and HAD a chrome gas cap. It was just too much. I painted the gas cap black and the mirrors will be done factory color some time down the line.

    JUST A GENERAL PAINT MATCHING QUESTION

    O'reillys has a spectrum gun and color matched the paint on my Duster. I bought a pint for around $30 and touched up several spots that had been bugging me. I do touch up for a living and it was as close as the factory coded paint that we use on modern cars.

    Try to match ractory rally red or not?

    I needed some touch up paint for my mirrors and gas cap. My local O'Reilly scanned my existing paint and had a pint ready in 20 minutes. They also had the "recipe" for the original FV5

    Deck Lid

    I agree with Oldmanmopar. Just because something isn't popular doesn't mean it's not valuable. If you have the space, I'd bring it.

    Duster hood alignment

    YOU brought it back to the top after seven years! I adjusted the hood on my Duster last weekend (and installed a sharktooth also) and it still needs just a little more side to side. I'll check out your tip. Thanks

    Help lower hood on Duster

    Hey everyone. I'm still sorting out the new car and one thing has got me stumped. The hood sits about a half inch higher than it should? You can push it down on the corners, but the latch needs to be lowered. I loosened the bolts and pushed the latch down as far as possible but it still sits too...

    Repro 68 Dart grill and headlight bezels

    I bought mine off an eBay seller because it was cheaper on shipping. They are made by OER and mine looks and fit really well. I just received an email the other day saying that Van's has them back in stock.

    Quality masking tape recommendations needed

    Thanks guys. Someone had suggested that I cover the whole piece in masking tape and then cut the areas that I want painted black with an Exacto knife. What do you think?

    Quality masking tape recommendations needed

    Don't want to hijack but since we are talking tape, I'm going to be painting this soon and need to tape off the areas that aren't black. Any recommendations for tape or technique? Thanks!

    Hood To Cowl Seal Install

    Thanks to @AIV I did this in about 30 minutes this morning. Only broke the tip on the first clip but luckily had some black death on hand to glue it in place. FABO rocks!

    CLASSIC INDUSTRIES LOCK STRIPS AND STAINLESS CLIPS FOR ’67 A-BODIES

    Thanks for the link. I actually bought a set of corners here on FABO but they didn't match up with my eBay lock strip. My windshield needs to come out so I may switch over to the 68-9 gasket and trim.

    67 Dart tail-light housing question...

    The previous owner of my Dart converted my 67 to 68 tail lights. I'm not sure what had to be done. It's one of those scabs that I don't want to pick because it might start hemorrhaging dollars.

    Easiest cheapest way to fix dent

    Maybe so? Some guys have different tools. I know a guy who takes dents out of steel bumpers. He basically uses the same technique as I do, but he's beating on the back of a bumper with plastic hammers and punches.

    Window channel felt installation

    Subscribed. I've got all new rubber and felt for my doors that I've been putting off installing for some time now, but now I am getting even more tired of the windows rattling and the wind whistling.

    New fiberglass hood: Has anyone ever had success with flat black rattle cans?

    Hanging the hood decreases the chance of dust settling in your paint as it dries. It does cause a problem when painting metallics but we aren't concerned about that here. We painted my steel hood matte black using a cheap HF gun and Rustoleum satin black cut with thinner. The gun and paint were...

    who has recently bought a AMD demon/dart bumper?

    I put one on the front of my Dart a couple years ago and it fit fine. Still looks like new too!

    Soundproofing Road Noise

    I used a product called Hush Mat and covered every area I could reach including under the headliner and under the door panels. It was expensive and added weight, but the heat and noise coming up through the carpet has been cut way down.

    Is there a "Master Kit" out there for window felts, weatherstrip, window rubbers?

    When I bought mine several years ago, I had to buy the individual pieces from several different vendors. I've been saving them for when I paint my car, but have decided to go ahead and install them this winter. My paint job is waaaaaay down the road and I'm tired of the wind whistling and my...

    I can't be much of a help here but I know there are TONS of YouTube videos about cutting in quarter panels. I know cause I sit and watch them all the time!

    Hemi scoop for Scamp

    The back of the scoop will need to be contoured to fit over the hood lines. Shouldn't be a major thing if you have a Dremel or round file.
