Did you modify the TAILLIGHTS?

I know this is a farily common mod, but I've found a nice '73 but dont care for those bumpers. Is it a big job to either replace them w/72 styles or even cut the big heavy bar our and bring the original bumper in closer- ie, remove that filler pan. How expensive would it be and is it worth the...

can the 1975 bumpers w/filler panels be changed for the older 70-72 style?

inner rocker and the drop down section...thinking they need to be fabbed...

They are just behind the rear wheel, patch panel for quarter is OK, but would one just cut up some tin for that area behind that is AWOL?

How easy did the scoop bend/conform to that ridge in the center of your hood. My hood is probably a 67 and has two ridges that the hood inserts laid into. Thanks, George

Anyone have an old/maybe damaged scoop to sell?

well not really..........

I know many say they always crack if glassed on a steel hood, but what about riveting- is there a method where the rivet head could be countersunk and covered?

Cotton backing may help some, but I'd never have one- they do look good on factory restos but definitely collect moisture under them.

This Corroseal sounds good, but, there are MANY other products out that that at least claim similar results. Anyone have experience w/others? This stuff is about $30 a quarts- which is all I want. Just got a tip that the bubbling area in front of the rear wheel on the rocker is actually not the...

Thanks all. Can anyone tell me of a way to clean out the lower/rear rockers? I dont remember seeing any plugs up top, but considered drilling one in order to clean out and then spray something inside? I do seem to remember that the bottoms of the rockers had pinch welds that would allow some...

I have a fairly rust free '72 Duster but the passenger side lower quarter has some bubbles. This is NOT a show car and I do not want to cut and weld at this time, but again, I was told that if one could seal BOTH sides of the sheet metal that the rust process would slow down due to a lack of...

I made one temporarily and it actually looks fine- I found a used one very reasonable from another member, but this will give others an options vs buying a new one for $42 and shipping. I used an old truck inner tube to cut it out and the 3 mounting screws plus some adhesive around the edges...

What color- thinking they may have been left steel, but silver is close- not body color or black? 1972 Duster!

got my stripes from Challenger gary on FABO and they look great and he had the very best prices too!

Thanks guys- I ordered directly from Challenger Gary here on FABO. He had everything I wanted except the Duster 340 Cloud emblem that goes ON THE TAIL SHADOW DECAL. Anyone happen to have one?

It appears that if using a WHITE Duster 340 stripe that there would be no front fender 'Duster' decals as they would not show up- assuming that they came from the factory like this?

Its been a while since I have ordered stripes and I know venders come and go: what firm is recommended for both COST and quality- which should include decent instructions.

Please disregard this post, found the latch in the trunk! does anyone know if the hood safety release for 70-72 Abodies are the same?????

FOUND IT IN THE TRUNK! 1972 Duster- just guessing they were the same for the 3 yrs from 70-72. Confirmations?

Thanks, yes, I figure they will be pretty dirty. I may drill a hole up top around the sill plate in order to spray it out and make sure the openings at the bottom allow the gunk to drain.

Agreed, but as I have tried to say here, I'm not trying to have a show car here- been there and done that. The car is VERY SOLID where it counts (yes, the rockers DO count too), but I do know that sealing the problem areas from Oxygen on BOTH sides will greatly slow down the oxidation process...

Adamm! Great to hear the Eastwood stuff worked as advertised. It SOUNDED perfect for what I was looking for, now tell me whats the best deal I can get buying that stuff? SIRELAND, yes, I want to make sure the rockers are cleaned out- to prevent any gunk from holding moisture and to make sure...

Thanks guys, and yes, I've cut out and welded before, and thats the way to go usually. In my case, its not that bad ''yet' and I'm not ready to do anything that serious. I also was not planning on sealing up the rocker area- and hoped the pinch welds did have the openings mentioned so I can...

My 72 Duster is pretty solid, but not rust free. Its not showy and thats what I wanted this time. Its had some moderate panel patches (lower quarter and taillight panel) and I see some minor bubbles forming on the rockers- mainly just behind the back of the door. My question is that I'd like to...

UPDATE: I just finished some research on this swap and have decided that I will most likely stay with the 71 tail panel- just too much money and trouble to switch back. With the tail panel shadow stripes, the two lights do not look that much different. I am in the process of buying a '72 had...

Thanks guys for the pics and ideas............I've had a few Dusters and have considered another- dont want a matching numbers car but something running w/be nice, and, the 73s have the popular wheel pattern w/disks and hopfully the 8.25 rear. That makes it more of an affordable target for me...

I like this option....and thought of some Argent and Satin Black.

Dont think the Sharkstooth fits with that hood, but has anyone come up with something cool? Guessing one could fit a glass 6 pack style hood and then use the older generation grill?
