    I screwed up!! Advice please?

    I sell that section with the transmission cross frame at Carlisle for $250-$400. I usually try to have three or four there. I don't have any right now, but I'll be looking for parts cars until the show. More importantly you need to talk to the seller. Show him this thread and tell him you will...

    I screwed up!! Advice please?

    At least tell everybody here (and anywhere you can) who the seller was so nobody else gets taken! As for the repair, it is possible to weld in a complete used front frame rail set. It's not cheap but if the rest of the body is good, it may be worthwhile

    '74 Dart 4 door back window and trunk lid, same as 2 door?

    the earlier 4 door glass (67-69) will fit the earlier 2 door 67-69 post cars. Not certain if the 74 4 door fits the early post 2 doors

    Fender Removal

    There is one "hidden one" way up inside the back of the fender by the firewall(not the one facing down) There is a small rubber shield covering it up. The bolt head faces forward. It's behind the shield (which "pops" out). There are also a couple on the wheel lip.

    Easiest cheapest way to fix dent

    What about threading a self tapping screw into the middle of the dent and GENTLY prying it up with a claw hammer? Be careful not to pull the raised area above the "level" line, then bondo the dent. I think Bondo REALLY likes holes to seat into!

    73+ door beam-ectomy - worth it?

    What I mean by "latches" is the inside door handles. On a 72 they are on the armrest and on 73 they are up toward the top in plastic "cups". The hinges and door latch mechanisms and even the body lines align perfectly. If you can deal with slight differences in the interior door panels and...

    73+ door beam-ectomy - worth it?

    The earlier doors are much lighter. You can bolt on the 72 door. The window cranks and door latches on the inside are different.

    73 Dart Conversion

    the 70-72 front clip does look better on the car than the 68-69 in my opinion

    What front clips will fit a 74 Valiant Brougham?

    I once put the 72 Demon front end on a 75 Dart. If you want the quick and easy way to deal with the bumper, what you do is put the 72 bumper where it is supposed to be with the 72 bumper brackets. Get a friend to help you line it up and hold it in place. Then take a good drill with a 3/8 drill...

    72 Dart Swinger Tail panel on 75 Plymouth Scamp?

    Both cars are two door. I've seen it done here but haven't seen a "how to" or discussion on how hard it is. Basically I'd like to use the bumper, taillights and quarter extensions from the 72 Dart on the 75 Valiant. Is this a bolt on swap?

    '73 Duster door to a '73 Scamp?

    I'm wanting to say that just the glass is different. In the older years pre 72 the scamps and swingers had vent windows and the duster did not but vent windows went away in the mid 70s. I actually happen to have a 75 Scamp and a 75 Dart sport (Duster style) so if it wasn't 100 degrees outside I...

    Wiper arm linkage bushing FRUSTRATION!

    I just did that job. I laid on my back and cursed for hours! Then it occurred to me: Take out the wiper motor! It's bolted to the firewall with three bolts. One bolt holds the linkage to the inside of the motor. Take out the wiper arm pivots from under the dash cowl. Use a long extension. They...

    Front end conversion?

    The duster front end will bolt right on if you use the entire front clip. The body lines in the fenders will match the body lines in the door.

    1972 swinger fender

    The inner lip on the fender extensions on a 72 are either shallower or deeper (I always mix up which is which) This is only an issue if you use the chrome bezels on the end of the fenders and across the hood.

    Are there other year rear bumpers to fit a 68 Valiant

    I think 69 does. 71 and 72 has backup llights in the bumper but I think it will bolt on. Of course, this is all speculation so lets get other opinions before going on my info! :)

    lightest a-body??

    You can Google "curb weight" and the name of any car and get the factory number. BTW, as uncool as it is to run one, a bench seat weighs far less than buckets and a console :)

    1973 dart front fender removal

    There's one inside the door jam on the top that you get with a swivel socket and a couple of long extensions, but there's also one behind a little rubber splash shield at the very top inside rear of the wheelwheel that you get inside the wheelwheel by removing the rubber (it pops in). There are...

    67-72 A body FRONT VENT WINDOW FRAME Post/non post/4 door??

    It seems logical, but one never knows until you talk to someone who has done it. I have two four door parts cars here also. I also have a 2 door post door that is too nice to take the vent frame out of. I guess I could go out in the 100 degree heat and pull one and compare it, but this seemed...

    67-72 A body FRONT VENT WINDOW FRAME Post/non post/4 door??

    I had a question from another member and decided to put it out for general discussion: He needs a front door vent window frame for a 2 door POST car. I know that they are different from 2 dr non post to 2 door post. I have both doors here and a one-eyed BLIND MAN could see that! I was...
