I am planning to swap in some new used window regulators to my Duster. The windows are a bit clunky going up, and not as bad going down. Any tips on what to do to these regulators before they go in? I bought them from a member who has sold me parts before and I trust him when he says they...

Looking for some advice and guidance to repair these two bruises my son inflicted on the car in a spin out that caused him and the car to come to rest up against an old fence. The car was painted with PPG Omni about 5 years ago and kept garaged and covered when not in use. I have the base coat...

I have been working on my Duster project for almost 8 years now. One of the first things I removed were the horns. The car is mostly complete but now I’m looking down behind the grille scratching my head trying to remember how the bracket and the horns go together. Anybody have a picture how...

Put the stainless trim on my 74 Duster this past week. It fit pretty nice. The corner pictured below keeps wanting to shift toward the outside of the car and ride up over the sheet metal.

Has anyone ever used urethane seam filler in a caulk cartridge to replace/repair behind the drip rail? I have seen a few posts here where brush-able sealer has been used, but being a carpenter by trade I think I'd get better results with the caulk gun method.

OK, so to test fit the Frankenstein parts for my 74 Duster project I set the doors with decent 3/16-1/4 in gaps. The fenders have similar decent gaps to the doors. Sorry for the poor quality pics and everything being different colors and just roughed in. First pic shows the door to fender...

OK, I have replaced the floors and have done all of the rust repairs in the panels as well as prime and coat the backside of everything. Where should I begin re assembling the body? I have new quarter skins that will go on last, as we are not having them wrap into the door jamb but rather...

Can anyone tell me what the threaded posts that the hood on an a-body lands on are called, and where I can order a pair?

I have seen some talk about moving the rear bumper in towards the body on a 74 to eliminate the need for the grey rubber strip. I drilled out the impact absorbers straight through, and was surprised that only a few drops of oil came out of each one. I cant push them in by hand, but I can now...

I'm doing an at home shade tree restore '74 Duster project. I searched threads but didn't find the answers I'm looking for so here goes. Is there hope for these door handles to be at least good driver quality as far as the finish goes? Any tips on cleaning and polishing that has worked well...

I just got a pair of Goodmark quarter panel skins from www.getallparts.com for $288.00 including tax and shipping to my home.

My Car was in 600 pieces when I bought it. The PO took the hood off this car and used it on a drag car, so mine didn't have a hood when I got it. The passenger side hood spring was in place but the hinge was off the pin on the end of the firewall. I put the hinge on the pin and tried to...

Were door and fender bolt heads painted the body color on an A body? I guess they had to be if the car was assembled before it was painted in the factory... Just wonderin' what color I'm painting mine before I put the doors back on.

I'm looking for suggestions/advice on how to go about pulling this dent out of my 74 Duster driver side rocker panel. The car is stripped to the unibody, no motor, trans, harnesses or fluid lines, but the engine bay and bottom of the car are primed and painted in the new body color. I...

I have completed welding in my patches in my deck lid and door skin. The car itself has original 1974 paint that will stay on the car when it gets its new paint job. My question is, after I use the flap wheel to smooth out the welds, do I prime with epoxy first then do my filler work, or does...

I was hoping someone can guide me on the procedure of putting the doors back on my 74 Duster Project. They are the original doors. One has had some rust repaired on the skin. I'm planning on painting the jambs and the door sides and bottom ( changing the color from metallic brown to rallye...

Has anyone attempted to eliminate the rear bumper shock absorber devices on a 74 Duster to eliminate the need for the rubber filler piece between the body and the bumper? If so, how does it look and how did you do it? Thanks

I was going to paint my Duster project a non metallic color..... New I'm thinking maybe B5 and keep the car more of a sleeper. I have used custom mix spray cans from Route 66 Auto Color in a single stage paint with no issues. I was wondering if maybe I should use a base-clear coat in...

Being new to welding, can anyone suggest which flux core wire to use to butt weld sheet metal in my project? I read in HOT ROD magazine that low carbon wire is easier to grind. I have an inexpensive Harbor Freight Chicago Electric Flux core welder. Thanks for the help.

A while back I think I saw one of the online retailers selling a patch to repair the front lower section of the quarter panel.........I looked for this item for a while on line this morning and I can't find it. This car sat outside for a number of years after having some half-assed bondo over...
