    Duster fender emblems install

    Do yours have nuts holding them on? Many Mopar emblems are installed with barrel clips. If so, no need to remove anything. They push on from the outside. Also, Mopars had all the body panels on when the cars were painted at the factory. Chrysler assembled the fenders, doors, hood, trunk lid on...

    1970 Valiant Duster Go wing option?

    The hoods scoops were never optional on a Duster. The scoops were part of the 1971 Duster Twister package. They were not available on Duster 340's

    2 door sedan vs 2 door hardtop vs 4 door sedan trim - 1967 Dart

    The cowl piece of stainless is the same between 2 door hardtop Dart, Scamps and all the 4 door sedans and 2 door sedans. The vertical windshield mouldings of a 2 or 4 door sedan can be shortened to use on a 2 door hardtop. All the other pieces are different.

    1970 Dodge Dart Hood Hinges

    I do it to every A body that I restore, before I install the rear fender shields. I just force it into the coil, and after a few cycles, your hinges will be quieter, smoother, and easier to close.

    1970 Dodge Dart Hood Hinges

    It's the nature of the design. I like to pack the spring with grease. Helps the hood to close easier, and gets rid of that spring "gronk" sound.

    What was installed prior to wheel well sound Deadener? 71-2 Demon

    I find that the bumpers were installed prior to undercoat. Front bumper brackets usually have overspray on the rear area. Pretty much any part in the general area of the wheel wells would be installed prior to undercoating. The rear axle rebound bumpers were undercoated, so were the front fender...

    Converting the 73-76 Dart fenders to fit a 67-69 Dart

    I have done this exact conversion. I used the entire front inner structure with headlight mount from the 69 fender and swapped it into the 74 fender, and cut and butt welded in the side marker opening.

    69 Dart GTS

    It was designed that way. You have to lock the door from the outside with the key.

    ‘70 Dart rear bumper brackets

    70-72 use the same brackets. Sounds like you have 1973 brackets. 1973 added the horizontal bar because of the 5 mph impact regulations for 1973. These brackets also place the bumper further out.

    Parting out A-Bodies

    AMD makes 67-69 Barracuda trunk extensions [trunk drops]. I have installed them and they are excellent. 67-68 fenders are not the same. There are differences in the headlight and bezel mounting. But the basic stamping of the 67, 68, and 69 fenders are the same, other than the 69 side marker. A...

    Replacement floor pan options for 66 Barracuda with 727 transmission.???

    Comparing early A bodies to the 67 and newer cars, the dimensions are very close. The biggest change in the 67 re-design was widening the front frame rails. The basic centre structure of the 66 and older cars is basically the same as the 67 and later cars. I would suspect that a Duster floor...

    Have you ever seen any Dart, Valiant, Demon or Duster with a rear window defroster?

    My 74 Dart Sport has the electric grid rear defroster. It also has E58 360, snorkel hood scoop, hood blackout, dual racing mirrors, sunroof, buckets, console, and fold down back seat. Many A bodies in Canada have the rear window defog blower.

    Paint code “Unknown at this time “

    Chrysler changed their paint code system in 1969. Your DD-1 code is the method Chrysler last used in 1968

    Paint code “Unknown at this time “

    This is correct. Some colours carried over. For example. FY1 Top Banana yellow came out in 1970, therefore F, for 1970, Y for yellow, 1 for light, and this color was available for a few years following, so the code did not change. B5 blue though, did change over the years, so the prefix changed...

    Replace panels before or after dipping?

    If you insist on dipping it, at least cut away the rusty lower quarters etc so all the crud can drain out. If you don't, all the junk, dirt, bullets, bottle caps and wrenches that fell in the quarters over 50 years will still be in there. Having restored a car that was dipped, I would never do...

    1972 Demon trunk emblem (need help from the Demon experts)

    Here is my original paint 72 Demon 318 car. From my research, the "regular" Demons use the two Dodge and Dart emblems like this. The 340 cars use the stick on DODGE emblem, because they had the stripe with demon 340 right below.

    A-body Inner wings

    67-70 and early 71's have the same inner fenders, other than some minor year to year details. All the left sides are basically identical other than the battery tray reinforcement changed starting in 70. Late 71-72 have a recess on the right panel for the charcoal canister. 73-76 have a larger...

    Hood interchange ?

    70-72 Valiant hoods will fit, but be aware of the differences in hood mounting to the hinge. 70 and some 71 hoods have a sliding plate in the hood, and the hinges have small holes. Some 71 and most 72's have fixed plate in the hood and large holes in the hinges. Mixing and matching can make for...

    Quarter patch panels fitment

    AMD is the only company making full quarters for Darts. AMD did make quarter skins and patches, but they discontinued them a couple years ago. The AMD skins were fantastic parts, and it's unfortunate that these are no longer available. The quarter skins sold by Sherman etc are a generic panel...

    OER vs AMD door hinges

    I agree. Mopar hinges are so easy to rebuild. The HELP kits at your parts store have the right pins and bushings. The uppers take 5 minutes to do. The lowers do not have bushings originally, so the holes need to be drilled out a bit larger for the bushing, and a bit of grinding is needed to add...

    71 and 72 hood question

    Could be. I have both types, so I will have a close look. Edit* I looked at all my 70,71, and 72 hoods and see no crumple zones. The 73-76 hoods do have differences in that regard, as 73 hoods have no crumple zones, and 74-76 do

    71 and 72 hood question

    to clear up the controversy: 1970 Dart hood has loose plates with threaded holes inside the hood. The 1970 [and all 67-70 A body] hood hinges have small holes. The front hole is round, the rear hole is slotted to provide a bit of up and down adjustment. On this system the hood is adjustable...

    74 Duster inner fender replacement

    I have installed many AMD A body inner aprons. They fit excellent. Just installed a pair in a Dart. BTW, you can install them without drilling any holes in the new apron. I drill the old aprons off by drilling all the way through the lower pieces, and doing all the welding from the wheel side...
