Not a duster bumper, but I bought a new front bumper from AMD for my 68 Charger and it fit perfectly - just like the original. Chrome was real nice - maybe not nice enough for a $100k resto car, but for any normal resto it looks great. A hell of a lot better than the re-chromed original I...

eh - I wouldn't pay that much in that condition, but i know when i was looking for 68 grilles, a guy at Englishtown had them anywhere from $450 to $600 depending on condition. That's about the typical price I found. IDK, but I think the 68's are typically more expensive than the 67's. So...

link doesn't work.

tip - look for a 70-72 Dart or Demon lower support - there are 2 little tabs on it to mount the valance. As far as I know, Dusters don' have them - at least my 73 doesn't.

maybe I can sell the 67 grilles to help fund the purchase of a set of 68's.

thanks.

thanks guys. So I can't just buy the center grille portion to change my 67 grille to a 68? I have to also replace the housing that the center grille mounts to? I have 67 grilles in a 68 car and want to change it back to the 68 grille.

what's the differences? I know the differences between the obvious center inserts, but what about the housings and bezels? The headlight bezels? can you just change the center grille in the 67 & 68 housings? Are the headlight bezels different?

I stand by my original statement - 70-72 will interchange with no modifications with a 73. Just went out in the garage and checked - 73 rear bolt pattern is exactly the same as the 70-72 - brackets are the same. Only difference is the jack slots on the 73.

73 didn't have the shock absorbers. As far as I know, 70-73 are all the same except for jack slots in the 73.

The cables are like long springs. They are coiled metal cables that mesh with the teeth of the crank gear. Each tooth engages one spiral of the coiled cable to move the roof. Unless the guy saw a flaw or crack in the cable, I'm not sure how he can say that it'll break soon - as long as the...

BTW - that Scamp is beautiful - Looks like all the time you spent preping that front clip really paid off - looks great!

I also read that the amount of weight saved w/ the fenders isn't all that much - maybe I'll just go with the hood and possibly bumper.

That's actually my biggest concern - I figured there's not too much to it once they're on - it's just how much time and effort involved in mounting, getting the headlights set up, and getting ready to paint. Is it reasonable to think I can get a set prepped well enough to not know they are...

Thanks for the info. I'm aware of AAR, and that's probably what i'll use based on the feedback i've heard. I don't want to go crazy - as this will hopefully be something I can drive daily if need be. Like so many recently, this is the direction I'm going: 71 Demon clone(was a 73 space...

Hey guys, I have a real nice steel front end for a 71 Demon clone I'm doing right now. I was just thinking of ways to reduce weight and am considering fiberglass hood and fenders. Is there any specific advantage or disadvantage to going with a fiberglass front end for a non-strip car -...

anybody? These are the large metal shields behind the front wheels.

Will the fender splash shields interchange between Darts, Dusters, and Valiants? I need a set for a Demon and need to figure this out before I buy something. Thanks,

BigSlim - how much did it cost you to have them come out and strip it?

Stick to your guns - I'll add this company to my list of vendors NOT to use. Some business people are so stupid - clearly a situation of someone starting a business without any understanding of customer service or word-of-mouth advertising.

Geez - you guys are picky! That hood is not all that rusty - in fact, from what I can see, it looks like was in decent shape. For the price of those original hoods, I wouldn't think twice about thrying to save that one because of a couple rusty holes. Maybe I'm missing something, but that...

It might be more work than it's worth, but I can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to re-skin a hood like that. It's only spot-welded along the perimeter; can't imagine why you couldn;t prevent warpage by spreading the welds out. Although, I'm no body man, so I could be completely wrong. How...

Thanks for the link. I like the idea of the hot rod black that is the single stage. I'll be willing to pay the expense if I get the results I'm looking for. I really like the look/sheen of moparwedden's Duster he posted in that thread. I'm pretty confident I'm going to go with the same...

Ok, I know this is a loaded question, but can someone give me a detailed run-down of what products I should have on hand before I start to strip the paint off? This is the deal - I'm about to start working on my Demon clone this fall. the cars in decent condition, but I know I'm going to...

I'm nowhere near this step yet, but I have a question about the black-out hood treatments on many Dusters. When I get to the step of finally painting my car, how do I prepare to blac out the hood? Is the entire vehicle painted with the base color first, and the black is painted on top (I...

I know the repro skins by all the manufacturers have issues with exact fitment and some body lines (specifically where it meets the rear bumper). Question - Do the new FULL QUARTERS from AMD fit like originals, or are they subject to the same fitment issues? Are they made to be exact...

67, 68, 69 bezels are all different.

Has anybody used or seen these bezels in person? The price doesn't seem too bad if the quality is acceptable. It'd be real nice to not have to deal with dented originals...

I'm pretty sure the doors are identical from the outside other than the vent vindow. The will fit. You'll need the right weather stripping to seal the vent vindow properly to the roof and A pillar. Inside changed a bit - I think after 72 the upper door panel was used instead of the metal...
