Local company says 2-3 years shelf life. Think I’ll just get a new one and not risk it. Thanks all!

I have a bumble bee stripe that's been in a box for about 12 years. What kind of shelf life do those things have? Should a new one be ordered or would it be ok to put that old one on?

I have some donor rear frame rails (not exactly sure what year car they are from) and wondering if I can weld up the hole that I've marked on the photo as it's needing rust repair on both rails. If it isn't needed for a '70 dart swinger, then I'd sooner close them up then recreate them.

For my 1970 dart swinger - Is there supposed to be play in the door latch when the door is closed/engaged in the striker pin? I don't currently have the door gaskets installed and the door sits flush with the quarter panel when I pull the door as if opening it but if I push it closed it gets...

I JB welded new studs in the holes

i tack welded it as best I could. Some warpage occurred so I I'll try to hammer them flat again and hopefully it will resolve the buckling problem.

It's pretty difficult to show it in pictures. I tacked it in all over and was finishing up the butt weld seam where the old quarter meets the new one. It just appears that the body line is too weak on these thin replacements.

I am welding in my new quarter panel and it's buckling at the middle body line (the line below the gas cap) to the left of the wheel house on the driver side if there is any pressure in the area. I have to pop it back in place or it will stay pushed in. These are the cheaper quarters made of...

Is it ok to install subframe connectors while my car is on a rotisserie or should I wait until get it back on wheels to install them? I've already put in floor pans and done the rocker and quarter panel on one side while on the rotisserie. The doors still close perfectly so it doesn't seem like...

I'm going to add subframe connectors but I'll try to fab something to go in there as well. Thx!

What's the function of the rocker panel under the quarter panel? Does it provide any structural support? Mine is totally rotten so I had to cut most of it out and am wondering if I should spend the time rebuilding it or if I can just cut the rest of it off. It looks like the original rocker went...

If you want to wait until spring when I can work in the garage again no problem. You can also do it this way too: http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/techarticles/body/mopp_0101_repairing_a_body_door_striker/viewall.html

this is what i am doing with mine http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/misc/18.html

I have rust on the inside of both a-pillars on my 70 dart and am not sure how to go about replacing the metal in those area. It doesn't seem like it would be very easy to get a welder and grinder in there. Anyone done this kind of repair before?!

ahhh... apparently there was a thread just made about this...weird... sorry!

I found this great link for fixing/replacing door hinges. Apparently the door hinge for 63-76 A-bodies is the same hinge for 72-93 dodge ram d-series or w-series pickup trucks. All you have to do is ream one of the threaded holes out and you have a brand new zinc coated hinge for around 30...

I got a response back from the company and they said that the ext version means extended and they would include a portion going into the bottom quarter panel. exactly what I am looking for since the last ones i ordered came up about an inch and a half too short.

I am looking at some rocker panels from classic2current and they list two different ones for my 70 dart swinger. I am having a hard time differentiating between the two. This is the only info on the listings: 1967-76 Dart 2dr Outer Rocker Panel, RH [190-010-2] Fits 1967, 1968, 1969...

Glad to know that gap between the quarter and trunk extension is normal! I am in the process of test fitting my new quarter and that huge gap made me think I really screwed something up.

I am having a difficult time deciding what to do with this driver side rear floor pan rust under where the rear seat clips in to on my 70 dart swinger. I can't find any replacement metal for this area so I'll have to make something myself. Does that whole piece come out that has the rear seat...

I am looking for pictures of the low corner area where the rocker, wheel housing and quarter panel meet up. Maybe I'll snap a photo of the exact area I am after.

Can anyone take a photo of the outer wheel well where it meets the quarter panel looking towards the front of the car? I am replacing the quarter panel and am missing a bunch of metal in that area due to rust. This is for a 70 dart swinger. Thanks in advance!
