To be honest, I haven't researched it all that deeply. I had to replace a fender on my 69 Valiant and picked up a fender from a 70 Duster. My stock 69 reflector and housing fit in the side marker recess for the Duster side marker with a bit more room to spare. You have to really look at it to...

Get 1970 A body side markers. They are just a touch bigger, but you should be able to fit them. The stock reflectors won't accept a bulb.

Did you clamp that down while you were welding? Maybe clamp it down, heat it up and the release the clamp after it cools down....

:happy1:

I hope they do well with it. I have a silly question, are the headlight bezels/doors (?) the same between the standard grille and the sharktooth?

I am in awe. If I tried that, I would end up with an origami amoeba.

I've thought about that and it's probably the way I'll go. The vent window piece seems to be a bit different, though. Also, does anyone have a line on that stupid plastic pin that holds the window guide on the glass?

OK, I have been searching and need some help. My 69 Valiant 2dr needs the channel on the back of the vent window and the U channels in the door frames. They are just flat disappearing at an alarming rate and my spine tingles when I roll up the door glass and hear that "screech" sound as the...

Take a twenty dollar bill down to Home Depot.

That is totally weird. I honestly had never heard that. Then again, when I put glass hoods on, the radio really wasn't my priority. I'll keep an eye out for your post in the electrical section. Sorry for sidetracking the topic.

OK, what? I had never heard this. Maybe I wasn't paying attention.

I really like the Ospho stuff. It was hard to find in my neck of the woods and actually had to order a case of it from Ace Hardware. :banghead:

Man those look awesome. The black screws really set it off, too. Amazing what four bucks at a hardware store can do for you. So, it took what? A half hour to install after the two hours of gathering up the nerve to take a drill to your paint? :D

Like a scotchbright pad on a disc? I think I got ya.

Paint eater disc? Gotta pic?

I went with a chassis silver on my bumper. (It's like a light argent without the dull tone).

With the exception of side markers, the 67-72 fenders are the same. I'm not sure about the 73-76 models.

Great, now I gotta be keeping a wary eye on my Valiant....

Yep, got it now. I may be slow, but at least I'm, well, I forget....

Are you saying just because of the Valiant emblem? Mine has the center emblem and last I checked I'm still in SoCal.

Hey, are you gonna show the window repair also? (Lookin for tips, my Val is a bit weepy there). I hear ya on the weather here. Reminds me of the week I spent in Cleveland one day.

They were 25% off.

Man, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who has resistance issues. Just a thought, but Tony Fields might be able to help ya on that dimension thing.

Yep, that's the piece to use. They also have a door handle reinforcement piece for the door handles that's pretty cool.

I see a lot of "pro" builds that have the body color behind the grille, along with polished radiators and little chromey things. It totally washes out the grille. I always thought the grille was one of the defining features of any paticular car and should stand out on it's own.

Looks way cool. I am with the crew, though. Try moving them a bit forward. Maybe use the center of the Valiant badge as your visual centerline?

Randy's spoilers are made out of steel. I believe the ones for the A bodies mount to the core support. I have one on my 73 Roadrunner.

And here I was thinking this was a thread about married life.... Definately go with the penetrating lube and let it soak. You might find a pair of vise grips will be all you need.

Thanks guys for the input. There is some very appreciated info and excellent work here. At least I can formulate a plan should it happen again OR maybe even plan a preemptive fix.

Found myself nodding my head and raising my hand on that one....LOL
