Let's see, Body/Interior/Trim - I wonder how many I can hit with this post... My outside door mirrors would not stay in adjustment. They are some cheap, probably Kmart specials from the 1970's, but they looked ok after I painted them. Back to their lack of staying put, scatpackbee suggested...

I just done some repairs to my grill and thought that I would share. It was fairly easy, and relatively inexpensive. I did three separate "repairs" that I think are common to our grills. The first repair is the upper mounting tabs that broke off. You can see that it was repaired before, and...

Evening folks, I want to cut out a spare tire cover from a piece of hardboard (masonite). I would like for it to look somewhat factory. A couple questions after looking at a picture on Year One: How wide is the cover? What is the large center hole for? What is the purpose of the large...

Merry Christmas, folks:cheers: Yesterday I cleaned up the springs for my front seat and sprayed them with a rattle can of Ace gloss black. I've had the can about a year or so and used it a couple of times without a problem. I sprayed yesterday and hung them up in the mud room (heated)...

Need some help here folks. I put a new AMD repop tail panel on my Duster and the tail light doesn't seem to want to fit correctly. I need to see, or in the alternative, get pics and measurements from an original '72 tail panel. Surely someone on this list has their tail lights out for paint...

Hopefully someone has disassembled their door handle recently, or took better notes/pics than I did... I removed the door handles when I was doing the paint and body work. During assembly, there are three seals in the package. Two seals are used between the handle and the outer body. There...

Not the big rubber one that goes around the outside, I probably messed up by taking my 1/4's apart and the plastic seal at the front edge of the glass disintegrated. I've not seen this part listed for sale anywhere. Anyone screwed up like this and found a work around? C

Evening all, What is the secret to installing the rear taillight assembly? I have new gaskets and do not see how to get a good seal with the body. FSM simply says to slap it together, actually that's my interpretation, the FSM reversed the Duster and Valiant and says the bumper has to be...

Evening folks, Put the doors on yesterday and discovered that the lower hinges have significant wear. Are these pieces replaceable? I looked in the year one catalog but it seems that the only choice is hinge replacement. The pins are fine on the pass. door, and "ok" on the driver door...

Evening folks, I have a fg bumper for the rear of my '72 Duster. This will be a driver, I need to attach the license plate and a light for the tag also. The original chrome bumper has a large "hole" in the center where the tag goes, the fg bumper does not. Be interested in seeing what you...

Evening, When I got my '72 Duster is was mostly in boxes and bags. I know that I got some "extra" parts. My question tonight is how many parts go around the darn headlight? The FSM does not give a good picture. From the pic of the parts below, I know the larger part connects the grill to...

Evening, Has anyone painted there dog dishes? I have a set of cop steelies with the small caps. I wonder what they might look like painted, since there won't be much chrome on my car... If you have painted a set, how about throwing a pic up here? Thanks, C

Evening folks, I am really liking the paint scheme on the B-J high dollar Duster: http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/archivecarlist.aspx?year=1970&make=plymouth&model=duster Mine will be white with black accents. My question is how, or where, the orange and black...

Evening folks, I don't know what to call these things. Duster door glass, I need the plastic pieces that are used in attaching the window to the framework: Thx, C

Good morning folks. I've tried a couple different brands of rattle can undercoating. They all lay flat. I would like to find a brand that will build up a rough texture to match the factory applied stuff. Anyone know of a brand that will do this? Thanks, C

Evening folks, The "point of no return" rapidly approaches, though not soon enough. My Duster will be painted white. I would like to see pictures of your white cars, and in particular, shots showing the following: 1. Side view with black wheels (I have cop wheels) 2. Side view with rally...

Evening folks, I have picked up a pair of VFN 'glass bumpers from my '72 Duster. There are no holes for the bumper brackets to attach to, nor are they laid out. So, what technique have y'all used to measure these holes and get them in just the right places? TIA C

Evening folks, Working on a '72 Duster. At the rear of the rear 1/4's there is an "ear" which is about 1" x 6-8". On my parts Duster (a '75) the ear is about 3/4" x 3-4". Is the large ear necessary? Does is have some function in relation to the rear bumper that the different bumper in '75...

Howdy folks, Followed a couple recent threads with some interest. I am working on what will be a daily driver. That means mostly parked outside in the Georgia sun. Which product would hold up better? How long might I expect either one to hold up? Thanks, C

Howdy folks, may be a simple question - but one I want to ask. The car is a '72 Duster. On the tail light lens, the horizontal surfaces are painted, what color? I have two in hand, one is white, one is gray... Thanks, C

Evening folks, Has anyone done business with P.G. Classic? They are in Cananda, so I have a couple questions.l I am looking at their floor mats, $49 with the Duster logo sounds pretty reasonable. How is the quality. Second, do we have to pay an import duty on a purchase like this from...

Evening folks. Working on a '72 Duster. 1. The underside of the hood is black, the car is brown. I thought the underside would match the rest of the car, but I see no evidence it was ever brown. Should it be black or match the car color? 2. The hood to cowl seal. How is this attached? I...

Mornin' I have found three companies that sell fiberglass fenders: Glasstek VFN AAR Have any of you had experience with the bumpers from these companies? How was the fit and finish? Were they ready to "prime and paint"? Any downsides? This will be for a street car, '72 Duster. Thanks, C

Not exactly the cowl panel, but that area underneath the grill on the cowl panel. What have y'all done to get paint in there or otherwise clean that up when painting the rest of the car? This on a '72 Duster. Thanks, C

Working on my '72 Duster. The outer tail panel is rotted out around the tail lights. There isn't enough there for me to even get a pattern so that I might try to fab up a piece. I don't see that anyone offers a repop tail panel. I need some help here! Thanks, C

This may be a dumb question... how do I remove the rear side window from a '72 Duster? I have removed 4 screws which attach the front "frame" as well as the latch. The window doesn't want to budge, however. What am I missing? Thanks, C
