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

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'm prepping the jams and trunk on my '66 for paint and was wondering what product(s) would be adequate as a substrate for the 2K urethane single stage that I ultimately plan on shooting as a topcoat. I'm not stripping the door jams completely but have sanded through to bare metal in spots. Can...

I've been cleaning up the inner sides of the deck lid/jam and doors/jams for my '66 Dart to get ready for paint. While cleaning them up and sanding the rough spots, I've sanded through to bare metal in some areas. Since I'm a couple months from actually shooting color on these panels, what's the...

For the body and paint guys here, what color sealer would you use for a single stage white top coat? I guess a white sealer would be the intuitive answer, but I'm wondering if that would make it tougher to gauge the coverage of the single stage top coat - especially for a total paint newbie like...

At what point would you guys consider separating a decklid to treat rust?? I'm trying to decide whether that's necessary for the decklid on my '66 Dart build. All of the exposed metal is solid, but as you can see in the photos, the inner structure/metal is rusty - to the point where a couple...

For the paint guys on here, I'm curious what your thoughts are on PPG Shopline SS urethane. Is it a decent paint? Does it cover well? I've read some horror stories about needing many coats for proper coverage using Shopline paint. I'm looking into doing a white finish over a white 2k sealer...

Do any of you guys have photos from when you blacked out the front of the radiator core support (without the grill/pumper installed)? I'm finally getting around to spraying mine on the 68 Dart and am looking for inspiration on how far to go, etc. Are the hood latch and latch support blackout...

Do you guys use these starter splash shields? Do they even fit with headers? I found one on my shelf and am wondering if it's worth installing.

While scraping the undercoating of my 66 Dart, I noticed a crack along one side of one of the front driver's side seat reinforcing plates and the floor was significantly weaker at that point. I popped the plate off and am wondering what the best repair for this would be. Normally, I'd just...

Where's the best place to get a windshield gasket for a 68 Dart sedan?

I'm redoing some stuff under the dash including the heater box, wiper pivots, and vent boxes. While reaching through the cowl vent opening in my 68 Dart, I noticed about 1/2" of dirt, dust and debris. This obviously needs to be cleaned before I bolt everything back together. Do you guys have...

I need to replace the wiper pivot seals on my 68 Dart A/C car. Is it possible to access and remove the pivots without pulling either the gauge cluster or heater box??? Do you guys have any tips or tricks for accessing the pivots? Thanks!

I found this splash shield in my stash and can't figure out where it bolts to. Does anyone happen have a picture of where it installs? I have a feeling it bolts to the frame rail, but can't quite picture it in my head. Also, should there be two of these things, or just one? Thanks!

Just got a hood to radiator support seal for my 68 Dart and installed it. I know this is a stupid question, but is this installed correctly? I couldn't find an installed pic online. Thanks guys!

What is your favorite rattle can semigloss/satin black? I need to paint my steering column and would like to find something that won't scratch too easily. What do you folks recommend? Thanks!

Do you guys have any tricks to painting only the recessed portion of finned valve covers? I was going to try to mask the sides and paint the tops. Then wipe the tops carefully with solvent. How do you guys do it??? This is what I'm shooting for. Here's a before picture before I started...

Does anyone know where I can get a couple grill screws for my 68 Dart. Any idea what thread pitch they are so I can maybe see if the hardware store has something that'll work?

Is there a place where I can get a single large 2.5" (i think) body plug. The one that is in the spare tire well? I also need a 1" one for the trunk to frame rail. Any ideas?

Is there a way to adjust the glass on a 66 barracuda? My doors line up, but the glass seems to be tight between the door glass and the quarter glass. Is this adjustable?

I'm going to remove the rear side rear window regulator mechanism because my 66 Dart isn't going to have a back seat. Does anyone know of an easy way to keep the Glass up permanantly? Should I just screw in some lexan instead? I'm keeping the doorglass, so i knda want it to match. Any ideas?

Well, the body work and trim hole filling is going well on the 66. My dad and I have decided to go with a flat black paint scheme. Nothin special as it is not a show car, just a badass hotrod mopar. We like the look of a flat black. We were thinkin of just using a base coat clear coat system...
