Wow. Just stumbled across this thread today and read it from the beginning to end. Great job not giving up on this and keeping this build going. Looks like you should be able to finally start enjoying the car soon. Looking forward to seeing the car completed.

I’ll get back to you either way

Ok. Thanks. Let me see if I can find another single.

I would want two hinges (mismatched) one of the 70 and I believe you had another single 71 and up? Is that correct ?

I have a 70 hood with the 71 up hinges. It’s hard to get the adjustment right since those hinges don’t allow for much up and down adjustment. How to ship to 48164? Also do you think these would need rebuilt? Maybe I’ll buy two if they don’t seem like they need rebuilt. The ones I have bow...

Do you know if everything is the same other than the holes. I could maybe buy that one and use it as a template to make the one I have match

Do you have two of the 1970 ones. I see one at top of first pic (yellow with one round and one vertical hole)?

I am working on a 71 dart with a 70 hood. The 70 hood had slightly different mounting style and the hinge mounting holes are slightly different. Car is painted and we are assembling. Unfortunately did not catch that I had a hinge issue until we were doing the final fitment of the hood and the...

It didn’t sound like it was an emergency when I spoke to him. If it was he probably wouldn’t of said to send the parts

I spoke to SMS Auto in December. I was told he was getting to retire but there may be a new owner soon. He told me to go ahead and send my hood hinges in for repair as he would take them on and committed to doing them. Since I have sent them I have left a few messages and emails and have had...

Oops. I was just looking at the thread and didn’t realize I hit the X. Must have happened while I was scrolling. I’ve always had good luck with legendary.

Not to hijack this thread but I have a 71 with the vapor liquid separator in the trunk. I am not sure what to do with the line that goes from that to the breather. I have a 340 without stock valve cover and breather. Can I just use that line as a vent or does it have to go all the way back to...

There was a really nicely done duster AAR a while back. It looks like the website isn’t there anymore but this car was stunning. Check out some pics. Here’s a link to an old forum thread. 1971 Plymouth Duster DustAAR - Gallery

What did you do with the other four ports on the actual tank. I have that style tank with the 5 port vent tube. Was going to reuse it but not sure what to do with the line that is supposed to go to the breather in the valve cover. Wondering if I should go the route you did or keep what I have.

I spoke to Willie. He recommended to use SMS Auto or Resto Rick to rebuild the hinges. He said he can’t competitively do these hinges and would want $600 to do them. He also said to lube them really well with Seafoam foaming lubricant. I did that but it didn’t really help. I think I’m going...
