    71 Duster instrument cluster: removal of plastic lens before painting

    Thanks. Yours looks good. Two questions: 1) What kind of brown paint did you use? I’ve never used the silver trim pen before. 2) Does it cover well enough that I could spray paint the silver trim areas with black paint before applying the silver?

    71 Duster instrument cluster: removal of plastic lens before painting

    I’ve just had my instrument cluster repaired and I plan to re-do the cluster paint myself. I’ve read forums about cleaning and painting. I’m wondering if there’s anything to gain by taking the metal backing off before painting. My reason would be to remove the plastic lens over the...

    Mice and carpet

    Mice are great. In addition to using the padding from my seats to build a nest in the trunk, they also used my spark plug wires and much of the other exposed wiring to build a nest on top of the engine.

    Modern radio or the original AM radio?

    Thanks for the suggestions and the info on sources to have my old radio upgraded. I'll probably make a retangular piece of sheet metal that accepts my old radio and have my body guy cut the dash and weld that piece into my dash to restore the original look. I took that old radio out 38 years...

    Modern radio or the original AM radio?

    I'm fixing up my 71 Twister that I've had since new. Many many years ago I butchered dash to replace the original AM radio with a AM/FM cassett player. The car is now in the hands of a guy who is taking care of all body rust, etc and will be paining it soon. I've considered asking him to...

    Headliner bow goes into which of 3 holes?

    I removed the bows that support the headliner in my 71 Duster and kept track of which one was 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. What I did not notice till it was too late is that there are 3 holes in each location - not one - and I don't know which one to use. Any suggestions? I attached a picture that...

    Can I install Duster headliner without removing windshield?

    Thanks. I guess that, any way you cut it, this is a tought job that I probably don't want to do while the temperature and humidity are both in the 80s and 90s.

    Can I install Duster headliner without removing windshield?

    I've stripped everything I can from the interior of my '71 Duster and hope to have the car painted in a few weeks. I've purchased a new headliner and the logistics will be tough to get the car to an upholstry shop to install the headliner while the windshield and rear window are out. I've cut...

    71 Duster: how do you remove metal and vinyl trim under pop-out windows?

    Success! Your info was right on the mark. As you said, there were clips along the front edge of the panel that allowed me to pry the panel away from the side. The panel was also held in place by a strip of non-hardening adhesive that was run up the back edge, along the top (on the lower edge...

    71 Duster: how do you remove metal and vinyl trim under pop-out windows?

    Hmmmmm. Good info and thanks. I do have the chrome strip between the vinyl panel and the metal panel that one of you referred to as a "sail". I'm still trying to picture the retaining clips in the side panel before I start to pry. I seem to recall pulling off a panel on the driver's side...

    71 Duster: how do you remove metal and vinyl trim under pop-out windows?

    I'm quickly beginning to understand why the labor charge is so high to install a new headliner. It is tucked under the trim on the sides and under the front and rear window gaskets. I'm pulling off the trim inside my car and I'm currently stumped while trying to get the metal piece off that...
