    Auto Metal Direct Fitment Issues?

    I do recall reading in the DC chassis manual that the tolerances for building a body on the assembly line back then could be as much as 3/4" off and still it would have been sold to the public. I think this was in the section where they talked about tire fitment and getting the biggest slicks...

    Auto Metal Direct Fitment Issues?

    If anyone is contemplating Shermans, I'd tell them stay far, far away. They sold me junk qtrs for a 70 Swinger where the marker lite was not in the right place. I had to cut and move it, and they just said yea, they are all like that, and hung up the phone. If I had to, I'd rather have to rework...

    Passenger mirror location?

    I added a mirror to my Swinger, and I am a bit sorry I did. Nothing wrong with doing it if you are using a good NOS or factory piece or painted one. I bought a repopped chrome one and the chrome just did not hold up at all. My ride spends more time in the garage than out and over 10 years or so...

    Windshield Wipers Inop!

    I thought '73 still had the solid linkage w/o the nylon bushings? I know my 75 has the dreaded nylon bushings, but IIRC my 73 had the older style linkage before they went to the nylon bushings (unless someone swapped in a later wiper transmission setup that uses the bushings...). I'd pull the...

    Why is my psgr inner fender "modified"?

    If no other ripples in the inner fenderwell or frame rails, I'd say headers too.

    Help calm my nerves

    Here's what I do. With the decal still on its paper backing, position it on the body and tape the edges down. When you are sure of where it's supposed to go, make some very light pencil marks on the body where the tape will actually sit. Also make some registration marks to help like the stripe...

    A quick question about POR15 and drip rail.

    How long has the original caulk been in there? Probably as long as you've been alive. And how well did it protect the metal under there? I'd remove any rust you find, neutralize the rust with whatever your favorite product is, and re-caulk it.

    diy 76 dart front and rear bumper fillers???

    I'd like to know what to do to refurb them, either paint them with flexible rubber bumper stuff(?) or use something on them to soften them up and reinstall plain. Would like to ditch them altogether with 74 and back bumpers but not sure if the mounting points are still there for 75 and 76 (?).

    How to install a windshield that will not leak?

    3m Window Weld, glue the gasket to the opening, then a small bead in the groove for the windshield. No leaks. But no taking the glass out either unless you cut the gasket. Rear windows usually call for bedding compound but I skip it and just use the window weld.

    Dart sport door glass weatherstrip

    What was the part #? I looked at that site and the picture and description looked like they only had the 2 door hardtop, which has the roll down rear window felts, which a Sport doesn't need. All you need are the inner and outer felts for the doors. And what brand were they? TOP cat whiskers are...

    Hood Scoops on Non Hood Scoop Hood

    Is it a Dart hood you are working on, or the one from the car in your sig pic? Best to post a pic of the actual hood you want to put the scoops on so we can see the underhood bracing, cutouts, etc. And post the exact year and make of the car. In 72 the scoop changed to the twin snorkel and the...
