yeah , I'm pretty sure my 73 duster has 2 different size fittings also !

I'm trying NOT to spend money , hence the other "free rear with 3.23 gears". thanks anyway's I guess.

Then what? I have done that and still can not get the axles out. I tried using a big slide hammer also. I have 2.76 rear in the duster & got another 7 1/4 for free with a 3.23 in it. It's a small bolt pattern & I'd like to pull the center section & stick it in my current to replace the 2.76...

I used the plug socket with wrench too , you might want to try using a rachet end wrench...not sure if it would fit. Have not tried that since I got some rachet wrenches. Would definatly make it easier if they fit !!

I'm getting ready to repaint my duster & am NOT going to strip it. The paint is a little thicker than I'd like , I was thinking of sanding so as to accentuate all tha body lines. Hoping to make them more "crisp" & visible . What to you all think ?

I'd agree with oldvart , the only reason to go down to bare metal is if the ORIGINAL finish seems to have/is failing. The factory primer/finish is applied in almost an ideal condition at the factory. If there are many recoats on top of that , you could strip or just sand throught the until you...

Alright , well I used both of your ideas of removing the splash shield AND using a few extension's put together to reach that upper (hidden) bolt. What a pita that was , it didn't look to rusted when I finally got it out , but it turned hard all the way out. I only took the one fender off , I...

Hey , Davesvalient , THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE MY GARAGE(canapoy)...HAHA Looking over your pics , I see you do have an actual garage- now I'm jealous ! Johnny dart , the engine looks sweet , all nice a clean and all :) :thumbrig:

So your saying from inside the fenderwell , remove the s.shield then it can be reached ? How about the bolts on the front , do I need to remove the grille , or just the headlight parts ? I'm just trying to make this as smooth as possible , I dont have a garage(short of a pepboys car canopy) &...

I feel kinda dumb for asking this , but why struggle to figure it out when I'm sure other ppl have done this. And the manual I have doesn't say crap about how to go about it & the other manual is lost. I'm not sure exactly where all the points are for removal of the front fenders ? It looks...

Well , I'm pretty sure I'm going to be ordering some of the kirker urethane from smartshoppersinc. It's going to save me about $150.00-200. With them I can get a gallon of primer for the price of 2 qts from the local shop. & the urethane is about$75-100 less. Sure maybe the quality isn't the...

I was hoping someone here has either used the kirker paint products & or had any experience with the trinity 1945 company- their website it www.paintforcars.com .OPPS , I was first looking here , then found smartshoppersinc.com. THEY have the kerker line.....sorry I am looking at the kirker...

Unless is have many coats of paint on it , I think I would just sand it down with a d/a & maybe 80grit paper. As for remover , I work at a paint store & we have solvent type strippers & water based types ( do not burn hands , AT ALL , no odor/fumes ) I still prefer the solvent type mostly...

Yep , that's it !! :thumbup: I thought from the squareness of it that it was probably from a 60's car , one of the more "box" shaped. thanks , this one is a 78'.

I am hoping someone can help me identify what car this hood belongs to ? The guys we bought our house from left it here & he was supposedly a mopar guy , but I can not figure it out. I thought maybe it was rom an olds or pontiac something , but can't find anything like it there either...
