Does anyone know if the fender splash shields (METAL) form a 67-72 Dart will fit a 72 Duster. Not finding much that will compare the two. Thanks FABO

You wont know if you switch brands. I always stay with the same brand. A lot of painters will say it doesnt matter but when that one time happens you will kick yourself. The clear usually has a one day or less window, otherwise you have to scuff it which can ruin the base coat, especially if it...

I always use a Glamour clear for best depth and shine. Sherwin Williams is my go to.

I installed mine years ago. When I finished the car I cant get a 12" air cleaner up through it becasue it hits the back of the scoop. Needed 1/2" more. To late now. So if I were you Id installed it with the engine in the car and whatever air cleaner you plan on running. That will determine where...

Where can I get the setting tape? Thanks

Anyone have experience removing the door glass trim for hardtop 69 Dart. This piece is stuck on there and I want to polish it. Thanks FABO

Correct you can thin it a little if you want to use it as a sealer before you spray color. Let it sit a few minutes, but I would not do this in this day of much better materials. Your sealer should be the same brand as you color and clear. Mix brands and ask for trouble.

All epoxy primer requires a hardener or activator. It would not be epoxy without it. Because it is a thin film build there is no reason to sand it except to scuff it for adhesion before spraying anything else on top of it.

Epoxy is not a primer. A larger tip would be for heavier bodied sandable primer. In the old days we used epoxy for a sealer with a little thinning and to protect bare metal .

Yes sir, primer guns are 3 - 4 tip sizes bigger than color and clear. Sounds like you are set.

Make sure you have a good gun when you spray the sealer base and clear, otherwise all you work will be for vain.

All I can tell you is stick with a name brand. Theres a reason why brand names cost more than imported junk. Research and development rather than some company just trying to copy a brand name and you are the guinea pig. Nason (Axalta/Dupont) like Shop Line (PPG) are two good lines at a lower...

A very nice gun, I like the quality of Iwata. I have an airbrush from them is flawless.

A gun most people have not heard of is Sagola, made in Spain. Very high precision, no gaskets. Love the way it sprays and comes with two air caps you get to pick from four. I definitely would consider this in the same league as SATA and Iwata. I bought the Extreme 4600 with a clear and HVLP caps...

Our daughter/husband and grandchildren live there but hey really if you need someone to runs things past on your Mopar I M me.

Your actually west 3 hours. Send me an IM and Ill give you my phone #. Wont hurt to talk about what you want to do.

If you want a good start and are in Houston, San Jacinto Jr College has all the classes and equipment. I started there in 1984 because you get to work on your project and store it with professional teachers from the industry. At the same time you earn credits if thats your thing. I went to learn...

Excellent advice and I applaud your willingness to help others. I did the same with technical schools starting at 18 and retired now. I am my happiest when Im in my shop working. I always get a rush of adrenaline in the paint booth. Your advice on safety is the most important thing anyone can...

I love Bob Ross and this is a great one. Thanks

Sorry still trying to get my phone to download.

Sure, I used 1.5" PVC with the joint screwed and 1.5 mil poly. Better yet I have a drawing I made I can send you in instant message and I'll take some pics later this morning and get back with you.

I'm 66 now and started when I was 18 when I fixed my first dent on a Valiant station wagon fender and painted it with Dupli color. It turned out good for a hack job. I bought my Swinger and painted it Hemi Orange in a local Tech school 1975. They showed me the ropes and helped me. After that I...

If you buy a fender, buy one without the side trim holes. Otherwise you'll be welding up those holes and warping it.

Do not use steel wool by hand on nice chrome, it will scratch it. Always use 0000 finest available. STeel wool works great on aluminum and stainless. Blue Magic is great stuff, but scratches in chrome are next to impossible to remove because chrome is such a thin coating. Before you know it your...

Thanks FABO, since I replaced my heater box with a vintage air it wont go there. Also since I had a pair not sure about the spare. We'll wait and see on the spare.

I found a pair of these in my body parts today for my 69 Swinger. Trying to figure out if they are a Mopar part or just connecting rods for the pitot static tube to the fuselage.

These are called chisel sticks. $5 at Amazon.

Thanks all, I did it last night by myself with the gasket on the frame. It worked out well, with the exception that I should have streatched the top of the gasket first so it fit better. My 6" pocket comb worked really good.

All, I've read many opinions on how to install glass my eyes are bleeding and I'm really confused. I am out in the country so no chance of getting a glass shop here. I have done one in an A100 but it was 15 years ago. I used the rope with the gasket on the windshield. Can anyone here cut through...
