I spoke to Willie. He recommended to use SMS Auto or Resto Rick to rebuild the hinges. He said he can’t competitively do these hinges and would want $600 to do them. He also said to lube them really well with Seafoam foaming lubricant. I did that but it didn’t really help. I think I’m going...

Great. Thank you.

Thanks for the information. I really hate to remove the fenders and front valence again but I just may have to.

Took a few more pics. Hinges look tight to the mounting location. They do bow out some when trying to close. That is causing the rubbing issue. They are either bent slightly or need rebuilt. I don’t even think anyone makes replacement hinges. May need to buy another set or try to bend...

I don’t have the splash shields in yet. I should be able to get a look at it. The cotter pin is a good idea.

I was thinking of trying to do that. I’ll give it a try but not much leverage can be had with fender on. I can just not open all the way but don’t want to risk peeling paint off the fresh painted fender

We are assembling my sons 71 Dart Swinger. Have the hood fitting well and am finally happy with the gaps and overall fitment. However I noticed the driver side hinge is rubbing the fender when fully open. The passenger side gap is tight (1/8”) but clears. I really don’t want to move the...

At a minimum I’d say 10k. You can get lower but you get what you pay for.

If they are the same as the ones I just took off my sons 71 dart, they slide a bit which allows the opening on the backside of the molding to open up and then detach away from the metal stud. Think of it like hanging something with a nail on a slotted opening where the side allows the nail head...

I have used penetrol to on interior oil base paints. It thins it so brush marks are not visible when painting trim. I do not believe this is what you are referring to. If so, I would not use it on a car.

You pretty much got the exterior covered, but depending on what year you are going for, the fender and quarter side marker lenses were changed from 70-71. 1972 and up went to the corporate standard side marker lenses. The interior door panels were quite a bit different. The 70-72 cars had the...

I asked this same question a while back in a thread I started, and surprisingly, I didn't get much feedback on this. I would think there are quite a few of them out there completed, but maybe it's not very common. I decided to go ahead and do it. I'm in the process of installing them right...

I have a 73 duster sunroof car. I was wondering the same thing. I've checked a few places and no luck yet.
