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

    In my 68 I have the dash switch, and the deck vent trim. But in 1988 I was more interested in 2 speakers, plus living in Fl, I wasn’t worried about a rear defrost, so, being young & dumb, I tossed the blower motor & 6x9 hole adapter

    Door alignment/adjustment

    Before a hammer & dolly, I'd "close" it on a block of wood. Put the wood in there, then gently apply some body weight. Let some others chime in before you go doing anything I say though. I've been known to louse some things up pretty good.

    Lead body work

    What Del said above. I forgot about that part, I got a decent quality respirator, made sure I had fans moving the air away from me and Did most of the work outside.

    Lead body work

    I used that kit. Glad I did it, but it is work compared to plastic, but I felt it was A- much stronger B- really the right way to do it BUT I was working with a rotisserie, so it was easier to keep the hot expensive Liquid Metal from ending up on the floor. Knowing how to solder wires, I felt...

    Hood pin kit what size step bit?

    Pretty much as @-Boosted- said "1 step bigger than the hole in the chrome bezel" I've seen different size pins, what size are your pins?

    Window Channel Seal -Guide- Somethingorother

    It probably is, the glass does need to glide up/dn in the channel. It looks like 55 year old dried out, cracked, chunks missing rubber

    Crack surrounding door striker

    I plug welded a piece 4” blank electrical plate with a 3/4 (IIRC) KO behind the pillar. I did have to remove and reinstall the clip -holder- bracket-whatever you call it- from inside.

    Water leak in 68 Dart Coupe

    My guess would be those pesky wiper pivot seals. Like in the roof of a house-when water leaks it seldom shows up directly below the entry point, rather, it travels along some surface until it catches on something allowing it to pool enough to form drops that then fall, all in a well devised...

    70 Dart AMD quarter panel install

    You have to melt the lead out of the seam at the rocker and the top at the lower part of the sail panel. i leaded mine back in but a lot of people use plastic filler. I didn’t trust that plastic would hold up long term (maybe it will) Like everything else, there are videos on YouTube on how to...

    Substitute wax and grease remover

    I don’t know what it costs, price isn’t listed. My painter had never tried it before, but really liked it. He did note that you need to allow it ample time to dry as it states in the directions. Longer than most are used to. https://www.southernpolyurethanes.com/solvent-wg-remover

    Core support question

    Thank You @Dana67Dart I appreciate the time to take & post photos. I try to do the same when I find something I can actually answer that also hasn’t been covered in enough detail already.

    Core support question

    Thank you for the replies so far. As it is sitting right now, the radiator is setting right on the core support, not even with the rubber pads. It don’t go no lower.

    Core support question

    I have a 1968 dart. How high does your radiator cap sit higher than your core support? I have a griffin aluminum supposedly perfect fit radiator, but it seems like it sits kind of high. My hood is still buried in the shed and I’m not really ready to install it yet. I realize that the real answer...

    I am Sooooo Confused over Paint

    X 2 on SPI I had my car done by a local guy on the side. He really liked the SPI stuff EXCEPT he’s a sprayer in a high volume shop and isn’t used to the wait times some of their stuff requires. Used the SPI Epoxy, some filler, sealed work with more epoxy & painted my car with shop line ( I...

    hood struts

    I'd be leery of struts myself. Getting them mounted in the right place and the right length to not cause a lot of stresses on mounting points seems like it would be a crapshoot. Like you said, that hood gets heavy. Wouldn't it be easier to just get a set of hinges with the springs? Just...

    Wow, a thread I started Has gone to two pages. Pictures were so small on the phone, I didn’t know which ones I was posting, I just tapped on a few. Good eye.
