    The days of welding body panels are coming to an end...

    There is a certain window of time that you can reposition your panel; after that it can not be moved. Have your panel ready test fitted and use a few screws to line it up.....and lots of clamps. Stuff works great! I use in spots that I can not get the welder into.

    Speedometer

    I looked for a speedo cable a few years ago. I went through every one the local parts store listed for mine and none of them fit........:banghead: Length was good for all of them but ends did not match..... I have not had a speedo in the car since 2007.....

    vinyl top question

    I personally would pull it up to where the air bubbles are and re glue it down. 3M spray about $18 a can - a whole top takes 2 cans. Spray glue on the top and on the roof and allow it to get tacky then lay vinyl back over it. If careful you should be able to lift it up and re install it...

    From vinyl to bedliner... Top question

    I have read that on cans of bed liner. I also have seen 2 trucks in Michigan that faded in 4 years (professionally installed); and we don't get a lot of sun here. Maybe there is a product out there that is UV safe; I have not run into it though. As with any product -application, environment...

    From vinyl to bedliner... Top question

    One problem with using bed liner is that it is not UV safe.. It will fade with exposure to sunlight. It should seal out moisture though. If it were mine I would sand it off and either do body paint or a vinyl top. Link to vinyl top install -...

    Bumpers.......What to do

    IMO The amount of prep to do either paint or chrome are the same. When taking in the cost of paint; it may be just a little more to chrome them. Also with chroming the shop may prep them. Will it ruin them to paint and then later chrome; I think not. Later will need sanding or blasting to...

    Duster mirror??

    I think between the mirror and door there should be a plastic type base. (going by my '73 mirror) The base is sandwiched between the mirror and door. I may be able to get pics later today if needed.

    Paint stripes for 1973

    Yellowdartdave I like that car; it looks great! The roof treatment and hood treatment set it off. I am keeping the same stripes when I paint this one; although I may go with a black car with silver stripe. Or maybe black with flat black stripe. I will figure it out next spring when I...

    Different Types of Primer - Explain?

    For #1 It is best not to mix the two; it will cause delamination. Or in other words the lac will soften and begin to peel up. I had a customer, 2 years ago, that wanted to mix lac and newer uro's The lac softened, cracked and peeled up. I had to do the job twice because I tried it his way...

    In need of A pillar windshield measurements

    I am not sure about height but something to consider is Duster vs Dart & Valiant. The Duster is not as long across the top. It actually tilts in toward center of the car. I dont remember exactly but there is a few inches difference with the top trim between the two.

    anyone buy these before?

    Mine came from there a few years ago; I have had no problems with them except with instructions for the grease fitting. It said to use a certain size drill and the fitting was actually smaller than the drill they said to use. The seals work great; just measure the grease fitting so you will...

    Black would be the standard answer; although something different may stand out in the crowd better. As asked above what color interior do you have? Or what other colors in the car?

    Exterior Skin to Bracing Adhesive

    Just a question, Dont they use a foam type product in order to allow the roof to expand and contract? I was wondering if it was glued to the braces wouldnt it deform when the sun hits it? I am not sure, I was just wondering. I wrote this before I looked at the Autobody tool mart...

    Breaker-breaker whats your handle?

    The Fiat ones match the stainless trim package on my Vailant. Maybe I should put them there. I think IAP (International Auto Parts) carries the Fiat handles.

    Fogged windshield questions

    It is two pieces of glass connected with plastic. I beleive what you are seeing is the plastic. I think the plastic is there to keep glass from flying all over the place and killing someone in an accident. I need to replace mine in the '73 Duster for the same reason.
