    Duster Duck Tail

    No, the ones from Showcars on EBay are just the top shell. No base. It’s very very basic. You’re on your own to come up with mounting. I’m hesitant to poke holes in my trunk lid so I would like to make a base for the top shell to affix to and then mount the thing , as a whole unit, with magnets...

    Duster Duck Tail

    I have had my Direct Connection spoiler for several months now and come to about three different ways I could attach it. One idea was to put an adhesive plastic sheet on my painted deck lid and then lay a fiber mat and resin and mold the shape of the trunk. I would mold in strips of aluminum...

    Frodee Built Front Spoiler - 1973+ A-body

    They are 225’s. It would be helpful to have a little more camber like maybe having offset control arm bushings from Moog. An update on the spoiler, it clears my low profile HF 5 ton Jack. With my ride height it also clears most parking curbs but you’re a troglodyte if you aren’t backing in to...

    STL file to make side marker lenses for a 68 Dart

    Let’s do it. The boy can use it to design something on Fusion 360 (like CAD) and we’ll send it back. When it’s file is created we can get the filament and print or send you the file to have it printed locally.

    STL file to make side marker lenses for a 68 Dart

    I need an STL file or my son could design something based off original. There are some filaments that we may have no experience with but PETG sounds like the way to go for this project. * I just looked on all the STL repositories and did not see anything already made. If you are willing for it...

    Rolling Fenders With Rolling Tool & Sure Grip

    Nothing wrong with that. I’m actually wanting to put on a little clinic for the boys at my church. My son is 13 and I’m not sure a lot of kids are getting exposed to hand tools and basic mechanics. You may have an opportunity here to reach out to a young man. Someone may consider it a great act...

    Rolling Fenders With Rolling Tool & Sure Grip

    @Ricks70Duster340 I was down in Fredericksburg for work in 2021 or 22 and just missed @loganscuda in San Antonio.

    Rolling Fenders With Rolling Tool & Sure Grip

    The parts were mostly bought for a different project and they were collecting dust for too long. I returned my Duster to damn near stock on the restoration with the intentions of using a Valiant as a tuner car. It looks like I will be extending my expected completion time due to the...

    Rolling Fenders With Rolling Tool & Sure Grip

    @72bluNblu I've Been stocking up for a big change. I'm buying an 8.75 and will be building complete with brakes and new leafs/sliders over the summer. My 0 offset 18x10's are good to go but still need replacement inner and outer shells for the front wheels. That will make them 18x9 +35mm.. Also...

    Rolling Fenders With Rolling Tool & Sure Grip

    In the front, in your estimation, with a Duster fender, will the fender rod extending and rolling suffice to fit 275's or would one still need a pizza wedge cut at behind the front wheel on the lower 1/4 (Burris?)?

    Rolling Fenders With Rolling Tool & Sure Grip

    I'm not talking about the rears for myself. I was inquiring about the front. The different brands all specify that they're for the front anyway. That is probably because, like you say, inner wheelhouse an all. My main interest in this product, for our cars specifically, is how much adjustment...

    Rolling Fenders With Rolling Tool & Sure Grip

    What roller do you have? I’m looking at the Eastwood one and from the reviews it’s the only one worth the cost. They have he best reviews and they will replace the tool within a year from purchase. They also sell replacement parts, which why would you need replacement parts on something like...

    Frodee Built Front Spoiler - 1973+ A-body

    First road test complete! The car felt more stable and it seamed as though the hood didn’t lift like it usually did. This thing definitely works. I cruise at 65 but occasionally go on blasts up to 90. Maneuvering the car at high speed, to the left and right, felt more stable and more...

    Rear Wheel Tub adjusting outer side of tub any sugestions?

    This not this If it looks good, interior panels and set fit, and isn’t some kind of high value vehicle a mini tub isn’t a bad thing at all. Maybe the drag racer was thinking about a full tub job. Drag racers don’t usually restrict themselves to mini tubs and go whole hog.

    Tucking factory 74 bumpers

    My bumper was in the stock location but with the crash bar removed. It was adjusted nicely so I simply circled the bolts with a paint marker, removed the bumper, and measured one inch over on each bolt hole. Moved the bumper straight back one inch. Can't say it's that easy on other years but it...

    Brackets look good. Angle's good. Main length is good. On the top part of the bracket (not the end with the body clip) is where the length could be added. Forgot to mention. Look at the top of the spoiler. I put a sheet metal screw there on each side. Thanks, @Frodee . Inquiries on...

    Frodee Built Front Spoiler - 1973+ A-body

    When the weather permits I'll get an update on performance but this thing is so sturdy the way it's braced and it's construction. It certainly looks like it will plow through the air. Top view through bumper Look at the symmetry! Outside view. Equal! Clears a jack!

    Frodee Built Front Spoiler - 1973+ A-body

    Before and After's are always cool! LOOK! You can see asphalt between the bumper and valance before! Gap? Slight trimming was required in the slots that the bumper tabs go in. A rotary tool comes in handy. Another area that I had to trim due to the 1" tuck is at the very...

    Frodee Built Front Spoiler - 1973+ A-body

    @Frodee laid this front air dam by hand with a heavy fiberglass mat and epoxy resin, which is 20% stronger. The coating is a durable bed liner/ undercoating type paint. I was fortunate enough to be a test fitter and I feel fortunate and happy to bring this to everyone else's attention. If you...

    Updraft Curtain Paint Booth in my home shop

    I’m worried about my attic fan, not yours. I’m sure IF there are different UL ratings the one you have is designed for fumes. Mine is just a regular whole house fan that was never intended to suck flammables. I’m sure you’re going to love this thing.

    Updraft Curtain Paint Booth in my home shop

    I have an attic fan that I took out of my house. We took it out because every year we would have to disconnect the wood burning stovepipe and seal off the chimney because it would suck ash. We used it for awhile and it’s nice on humid days. I hung on to it for my future shop and now I might try...

    Direct Connection chin spoiler

    @Frodee FWIW, I think yours is better. The 73+ bumper isn't flat on the bottom and you made the contour of your air dam match the contour of the bumper. There isn't a contour on the Direct Connection one. At least, it appears flat to me and would be better suited on a 70-72. Maybe we could have...

    On-demand 3D Printing Service [High Quality] | PrintAWorld Perhaps this service could be used. The process is in the quote. Frodee could receive the print and use it as the master. I like the Go Fund Me idea brought up earlier. Frodee and C500 should be compensated nicely. We would need to...

    Direct Connection chin spoiler

    I would like to talk the OP of this post into getting in on this. I sent him a PM because he hasn't really popped back in here. Does anyone else out there have an original DC chin spoiler? As for the Ducktail, I've heard multiple times that the Showcars one can be worked with. If it can be...

    Direct Connection chin spoiler

    I was going to purchase one pretty soon. I met a new Mopar bodyman friend who has a Showcars one on his Duster and he was going to remove his to fix it his way, as it was installed by the PO. I was going to secure one to do at the same time. PM me a price whenever you want to move it. Thanks.

    Direct Connection chin spoiler

    It’s going to be up to us to get the funds together. What I proposed was we would figure out how many people are 100% on board with buying one. He comes up with the cost to produce a mold and initial run + money for his time which we divide that between the group. Ideally, the ground floor...
