Man am I glad you posted this! It made me realize I forgot to seal mine when I installed and aligned my doors recently. What I do is, once I get the doors aligned where I want them, I take the bolts out and wrap the base of the threads with 3M butyl strip caulk and reinstall (one by one as to...

I used raptor liner for the rear part of the interior in my '66 Dart. I wouldn't worry too much about the thickness at the spring mounts etc. If you're worried about it, you can always go a little lighter in those areas. Or, you could avoid them all together (assuming you plan on using a shutz...

There are several whole vent window assemblies on ebay that include that piece. Maybe put a wanted ad on here. Should be able to find a replacement pretty easily.

Gotcha. Is where that knob hits adjustable?

I believe the up-stop should be at that slotted hole towards the top right above the front door handle hole. Looks like it's missing all together.

Post a photo of the interior of the door so someone can point out where the adjustment is. Hard to describe with just words.

I used the RestoRick kit with the oversized pin on the hinges on my '66 Dart (as described in the thread). It worked perfectly. He even sells the proper reamer - at least, he used to. I'd reach out to him if you want to do it yourself. You may find the roller pin(s) to be badly worn though. I...

What kind of Rustoleum? There are many. Give us more details.

You may want to try calling them. They have quite a few items that isn't listed it their catalog. I've gotten lucky before calling them. Good luck!

A lot of people have good luck without using sealer, but the installation procedure in the FSM specifically states to use sealer "across cowl top panel lower windshield frame area." The installation procedure is actually pretty thorough in the FSM. As post #7 pointed out, the 3m bedding compound...

Aren't you just about to get the car back on the road? Get the car going and worry about the hood later.

That's what I thought. Thanks for confirming. The one on my '68 Dart is upside down and it's always bugged me. I'll have to fix that.

Are the lock cylinders for the decklids on these A-bodies supposed to be oriented with the pins on top or bottom?

Thanks. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the door bumpers don't really matter because the shape is essentially symmetrical, like you said. The decklid bumpers are the ones that are tripping me up. I wish I had paid attention when I took my old ones off.

Thanks for posting this thread. It's been helpful as I put my '66 Dart back together. Do you have a photo of how the decklid and door bumpers are oriented? They aren't exactly symmetrical and I've forgotten how my old ones were oriented. Stupid me!! Door bumpers: One side's got tiny ridges on...

Not sure if this was directed to me, but what I did with the 30:1 citric acid was added more water and neutralized it more with sodium bicarbonate, before dumping it down the drain. At 30:1, the citric acid solution to begin with is not very concentrated at all. I'm sure what I did was more than...

I tend to favor phosphoric acid. I posted some photos of a good example of results from phosphoric acid here: Questions for Evaporust Users I've never used muriatic acid, but I'm sure it works well too. As an alternative, citric acid works in a pinch as well. Here's an example from when I used...

For me, it really depends on how large the part is, how extensive the rust is, and what the texture of the part that needs rust treatment (i.e., smooth sheet metal vs. rough cast iron.). Either way, I tend to favor an acid treatment of some type or mechanical removal with a wire wheel or similar...

I think I may have found the source of the small Max Wedge scoop. Unfortunately, I think it may Unlimited Products Fiberglass. I say unfortunately because I've call them about 6 times within the last two weeks and have yet to get anyone to answer my questions. The woman who answers only says -...

Where did he say that? I took his question as - he wants to know what color his car is based on the touch up paint he has. He should probably clarify what he's trying to find out.

Keep in mind there are different versions of B5, depending on the year. Chrysler Color Codes - B5 model/year code B5 Cross-Reference

It looks to be the same piece as what's used on the hardtop models. Here's the one I used for my '66 GT. It matched the original perfectly and worked out great. Glass Run Channel - Flexible - 8' Strip - 17/32" Tall 3/8" Wide

Anyone know where to get this smaller max wedge scoop?

I hadn't thought of that. That's a great idea, but I guess the only problem with that would be that the dimensions would be way off if I cut 10-12" off the front.

Yeah, I saw that one. Unfortunately, that's just about the stock size and would almost go to the front of the hood. The one I'm looking for is about 12" shorter. I've been looking all over (AAR/Stinger, Unlimited, Kramer, etc.) and can't seem to find the small version. I'll probably spend some...

Does anyone know who makes a smaller version of the max wedge hood scoop? I saw one that looked awesome on a '66 Dart yesterday at a car show and the owner couldn't seem to remember where he purchased it from. For some reason, I'm having trouble finding this smaller version anywhere. Here's the...

I'd use some type of adhesion promoter and SEM "Color Coat." It comes in a bunch of different colors and is meant for that application. I just used it on some vinyl door pulls and they turned out great. If you look at the TDS for the product, it'll explain how to choose the correct SEM adhesion...

Resto Rick sells a great DIY kit as well. Restorations by Rick Kreuziger - Product and Component Restoration Detailed Information

Yep! Both of those guys are the ones I've been buying from. Talked to Tyler on Friday and got my order going for this project to be picked up tomorrow. Thanks for the tips!

That's where I'll be buying my stuff from. They're really helpful there, which is nice for inexperienced folks like myself. Do you spray yours in your shop, or do you wheel them outside to spray them?
