My '72 Dart originally had body putty in the roof-quarter seam. The vinyl top eventually rotted and the body putty has become microplastics. I would prefer to fill it with lead for longevity, like older Mopars, but I'm wondering; does anyone ever make a sheetmetal patch that get fully welded...

So the other thread on butt stripes (ahem, NOT skid marks) has brought up something I've wondered about for years. I have a '72 Dart which never had a factory butt stripe. My car is white with an olive green top and interior and it's hard to even find pictures in this color combo. It looks...

I'm finally ready to replace my vinyl top, and I had a couple questions: #1 Legendary, or SMS? SMS sent me a sample, and it looks very correct. I'm assuming Legendary would be comparable correctness and quality. Does anyone have any pros or cons versus one over the other? The SMS quote came in...

Is the windshield from a '73 Valiant 4-door the same as either a '72 Dart 2-door or a '75 Valiant 4-door? Thanks!

I remember reading about this in the '90's, and I've looked for companies that do this before. I just figured the EPA stuck a fork in this process.

I have a parts car that I bought from a member here, and it came with a clean title. If I sell the dash, does the VIN plate and title ride with it and count as selling the vehicle, or. Do I remove the VIN and count the vehicle as still mine?

I recently ditched my Dakota and I need to see if the frame is tweaked. I've looked high and low but can't find a frame measurements diagram. Does any body here know where to find them? Thank you! JOSbunchanumbers

My '75 has the collapsible bumpers. This has been discussed in other threads but mainly for Dusters/Dart Sports. I've searched all the older threads, and never seen a concise answer. What brackets are needed to get rid of the shock absorbers, front and rear? Are Duster brackets useable on...

It appears I'll be picking up a body donor for my '75 Valiant. I'd like to pull the rockers, wheel houses, floors, etc. as 'factory type' replacement panels. Is it better, or is it even possible, to just drill all the spot welds and pull a panel like turning back the clock? Or should I invest...

Years ago, the vinyl top on my dart bubbled out so I pulled the top and it's been rusting ever since. It had body filter in the c pillar seams that fell out like methhead teeth. Should it have been lead? When did Chrysler switch from lead? My '75 has no top and shows no issues in the seam. Is...

I was doing some routine maintenance on the wife's 07 Caliber, and noticed the paint under the front lip of the hood is flaking and there's some light corrosion underneath. I was tempted to mask it and blast it with primer, but figured I'd ask: is there a spray-can-simple product that will slow...

I've looked around and can't find much info on replacing the rocker panels when they're rusted out. Does anyone have a link or care to offer a quick how to?

I came into a set of body trim and grille and headlight surrounds for a '68 coronet. I'm no B body guy. Does this stuff have much value? Some of it is pretty straight.

So, while in the salvage yard last year stripping out a '72 Dart I found, trapped in the dash, one 'Custom' exterior badge. In brand new condition with the pins unmolested, it has clearly been riding in the dash since new, so it has a little of the black paint flaked off and a touch of a rust...

While under the car for a k frame swap, I looked up and noticed this fender mount extension is a different color. The hardware appears to be oem style bolts. The front bumper is a fixed mount, no shock absorbers. Would this car have had bumper shocks from the factory? Frame rails show evidence...

Ok, posting this in the body shop forum due it's possible technical nature. Recently purchased a '74 4dr dart. Runs but needs k frame and control arm. /6 auto, nothing rare. I can fix it, flip it, and double my money pretty easy. But I have a rust ridden four door valiant with sentimental...

I'm looking for a picture of a '67-76 Dart trunk pan, from the bottom, without the fuel tank in place, like on a rotisserie. Does anybody have that? Found a video online of a Dart on a rotisserie, but it was cut for fuel cell. Doh! Specifically, I'm interested in the area in front of the...

Does anyone here have any pictures of a '68-'69 Cuda clip on a Demon, Duster, or Dart body? I've never seen one. Thanks! John

I've always wondered this. If not, how do you tell them apart? Also, if anyone has a picture of a Dart and/or Demon/Duster with a '68-69 'Cuda front clip, could you post pics? Thanks

Is the hood from a '73 Duster the same as hood from a '75 Valiant? Thanks John

Will Duster hood hinges ('73, maybe a '72) fit a '72 Dart? Just wanted to make sure before I go pillaging. Thanks John

Both my '72 Swinger two door and my '75 valiant four door have the adhesive-stick bodyside molding (well, most of it). Is there a source that offers this new? It looks like the trim on my Dart might have actually had some chrome plating on it at some time? The valiant trim is wider than the...

My '72 Swinger is White with a Green top and Green interior. I've never seen another like it. Can anybody tell me how many were made that way? Ditto my FE5 four-door '75 Valiant? I don't think the gumbers nuru Galen handles these "pedestrian" cars. Thanks, John

Does anyone here ever part out decent '74-76 four-door bodies? I'm looking for a donor body for my Valiant which has lots of lower-level rust. I haven't even looked at AMD or any of them yet, as the rocker panels and floors need major help first. If someone had one that was affordable, I'd be...

My '72 Dart has an underhood pad. I'd like for it to have scoops. I prefer for it to appear stock. Were the two available together? (A different pad with cutouts for the scoop holes, maybe)? Thanks John

Does anybody make LED tail lamps for the '72-style rear taillights (two per side)? If not, how many people would be interested in them?

Does anoyone make NEW/NOS/Repro bodyside molding for my '72 Dart swinger, or my '75 Valiant 4-door? I've got pieces missing from both and would prefer to just buy a matching set of new if possible. That said, I may entertain used pieces if you have some old stuff laying around.
