    Clearing Chrome

    If all else fails, you could go with a stainless hot rod style ribbed trim ring It's narrow and you can paint the ribs to match the truck. Just another option. 15 inch Trim Rings | Stainless Steel Trim Rings I run them on my factory rallyes for a different look.

    Has anyone seen or tried this brush on chrome finish??? Is this for real???

    "Doesn't need a top coat". I wonder how it will hold up to cleaning chemicals or a gas spill. I use Duplicolor spray chrome on the reflectors in my taillights and turn signal lights. Brightens up the lights.

    Paint colors everyone hates

    I have a '63 Valiant in aqua and a '72 Scamp in honeydew. Both are off the wall colors that get plenty of opinions for and against. BUT, are they ever easy to keep clean - except when the tomato throwing begins!.

    1970 Valiant accident.

    I had a '76 Dart that got t-boned by a county pickup truck. Ihe driver thought the "yield" sign was merely a suggestion. Anyway, I had the adjuster meet me at the body shop. It was a shop that works mainly on classics and street rods. I let them duke it out and I came out okay. I didn't have to...

    Shark Tooth Grille question......

    Did you buy a repop sharky grille, and if so, did you have any fitment issues.

    Shark Tooth Grille question......

    After the '70 Duster came out, Dodge cried foul. So Ma Mopar gave Dodge the Duster body with the '71 Duster 340 tail piece. Dodge was in a rush and stuck the Dart front sheet metal on the Duster body. The wheel well openings don't match and the bumpers don't match. Now Plymouth cried foul about...

    painting grille

    Another option is to find a pinstriper in your area. I just had an up and coming young gun striper do the 1/8 and 1/16 factory stripes down the sides of my Scamp in an olive green to match the roof. I've seen them do hubcaps, license plates,etc. Grille detail should be a snap for them.

    Paint or gravel guard.

    Paint or gravel guard.

    There is a '74 Duster close to me for sale. Decent price, but the photos appear to show a Ziebart rustproofing job. Rustproofing under the hood on the inner splash shields and anything in the way of the spray gun. The trunk area looks like it was sprayed. Hard to tell with the carpeted trunk...

    1975 Dart Turn Signal Lens Removal

    Glad it worked out for you. Last time I did it, I was changing from amber to clear lenses and wasn't worried if I broke them. That's when they never break, of course.

    1975 Dart Turn Signal Lens Removal

    Carefully push in the two lock tabs on either the top or bottom. No farther then necessary. Tilt the lens out of the housing. Not necessary to push in the tabs on the other side. It should just roll out. "Should" is the key word here. Good Luck.

    To paint the radiator support or not

    There is a red '74 Dodge Charger with 14,000 miles on it at Route 65 Classics. All original car and it must have been hour number 39 for that lucky dude in the pit. I've seen the car in person and it's worth your time to take a look at the radiator support photo of the car.

    Another "what is this called" rubber question..

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I was thinking the same. Used it on the rear window of my '78 Jeep Wagoneer. Tacky material that fits in the channel of the frame, holds the window glass in the frame .

    Eliminate rear bumper rubber filler on a 74 Duster

    I had a '76 Swinger. Removed the bumperettes and painted the filler panel body color. Made a huge difference in the look of the car for very little time and money.

    Adding a front spoiler to the Dart

    Bought one for my '72 Scamp. For the '70-'72 Dusters and '71-'72 Scamps, installation was a breeze. Attached to the two tabs on the lower radiator support. It comes powdercoated black and he supplies the hardware and clear directions. Randy also posted a pic of my Scamp on his web site. It's the...

    Paint color ideas for my scamp

    My '72 Scamp is Honeydew with a green vinyl roof and two tone green interior. It's different and sure beats the black on black Dart it replaced.

    Shark Tooth Grille question......

    The '71 Duster 340 was supposed to exclusively have the shark tooth grill and the matching shark tooth tail light panel that went on the '71 Demon. You would know it was the 340 coming or going. All other Dusters would have the standard grill and tail light panel. However, since Dodge cried foul...
