    To paint or not to paint the underside

    Soooo, my Duster is in pieces and has not run for almost 7 years. Until this last summer, it was in non-climate controlled storage for the previous 4 years. It's home now and I am beginning the process of putting it back together. I pretty much have all the mechanical pieces that I need on hand...

    Pics of 1971 Dusters with side stripes and vinyl top?

    Did '71 Dusters with full vinyl tops ever come with full-length longitudinal side stripes? Mine has stick on belt-line molding that is coming off in a few spots. (see below) If I remove it, there's a lot of orange with nothing to break it up. I'm thinking the thin side stripes would look cool...

    pin on hood, rear pin location pic request

    Guys with pin-on fiberglass hoods - where are you putting the rear hood pins and how are you mounting them? Got a 'glass hood on it's way to me from AAR need to figure out where to put 'em. Nothing is jumping out at me. Front is no problem, the rears are a little bit of a conundrum. Pics...

    Early A sheetmetal sources?

    Wondering if there are vendors reproducing body panels for early A bodies these days? Layson's used to have patch panels - are they even in business anymore? I looked around a little, didn't see much. Might be looking at something for a long-term project. Just want to see what's available as...

    What paint for 8 3/4 housing?

    Is there a 'correct' paint/finish for an 8 3/4 housing? I know there's chassis black and/or semi gloss black but I am curious as to whether there is a specific paint to use when painting a bare housing. Thanks, - Greg

    Trunk paint

    After a little search, I wasn't finding what I was looking for. Anyone done splatter paint in their trunk? My Dart has some surface rust in the trunk I'd like to stop from advancing. My thought is to wire-wheel the rusty areas, clean and prep and put down some POR 15, then put some...

    Lacuqer paint

    Has anyone used lacquer lately with success? if so, does it do a comparable job to urethane? And what about clear coats? Can you put clear on top of a few coats of lacquer? I know that most professional shops use urethane paint nowadays. I'm not even sure if lacquer is available to the general...

    What would it take...

    to 're-body' a '73-'74 Duster into a '70-'72? I mean, beyond the obvious - tail panel, fenders, hood, grille, bumpers. Are there different brackets for things, different mounting points etc. Just curious, got to thinking about it since the later models seem to be more readily available than...
