Anybody tried Tony's A pillar trim? Fit & finish?

Thanks to all of you who helped sort this out, between a couple of pics and texts it is clear now. I will say this ONLY applies to 1973 5 hole windows. It seems that was a bastard year, and no other glass is the same. First pic is of the two vertical rollers and the attachment points for the...

I need a pic of the bottom almost horizontal track on a 73 duster's window glass. I know what goes there just not which end faces the front and which is the top of the track. Thanks in advance for the help and I WILL document the electric window system install! Andrew

I found a site that will let you but individual hole plugs and not have to pay the $45 for a kit off of Ebay. These and most plugs are made by 'Capplugs' and most actually cost between .06and .09 each but you have to buy a thousand. This guy repackages and sells them a few at a time. I just...

Window Fuzzies: I got tired for looking for reasonably priced replacements for mine so I found some weather stripping and cleaned my old ones up and restored them myself. Andrew

Has anybody here eliminated the taillight bezels on a 73 and up Duster? If so what did you do about the gasket that shows past the rear panel metal? Could you please post pics. Andrew

Here is the next bit of WTF. I know some of you will hate this, but its something I've been seeing everytime I looked at the car. I always wanted a rear spoiler, but I did not like the look of the Go wing or the ducktail spoilers, and the trailing edge of the trunk lid always looked like it...

So I used the sail panels from a 72 in my 73 car. When I went to put the plastic door tops in place to get started on the lower door panels the combination looked like crap. Nothing lined up and the more complex lines of the 73 clashed with simpler lines of the 72 . We all know the 70-72...

Here is the latest version, sloped sides 6" longer and follows the contour lines of the hood. Will be welded in place and blended in later. Andrew

The lights are now complete as far as the installation of the actual lights. The wires will still need to be incorporated into the wiring harness. The mirrors have the Red/Blue color scheme for the turn signals selectable with the master switch. The blue running lights will come on with the...

Here is some of the latest progress, I wasnt sure if I needed to actually work under the rear of the car in order to get the rear side markers in place, so before I put the rear axle in place for the final time I got the markers in. They are off of some BMW model, chosen for size and shape...

These just arrived for the doors, I thought you guys would like to see a close up before installation. After that they will virtually disappear. Andrew

This gets me closer to being ready for filler and epoxy primer. These are handles off of a forerunner. I like the flush look on the high end cars so these are mine. first couple of pics are the formed sheet metal and the handles mounted in them, The next are of the cups or recesses for the...

Here are the pics of the new gas cap install. As much as I dont like Bondo there will have to be something done here because the whole thing puckered in 1/8" all around the patch. Maybe Ill learn to work lead next. Andrew

Has anybody replaced their factory handles with other styles? Im going to a set of vertical ones. Andrew

I just installed a high security replaceable core lock in the trunk, I know its a small thing outwardly, but you wont get past this one with a screwdriver and a hammer. Andrew

Now you see it, now you dont. A couple of guys from the San Antonio area came up and relieved me of the /6/904. They were fellow MoPar heads who build /6s. And so it continues, now I can get to work on cleaning out and detailing the engine compartment. Andrew

Here are the results of the latest modification. 1+1 = 1 Andrew

OK here it is. I went to Texas acres and scored a second bumper and here are the results. Andrew

Has there been any discussion of the worth of the diagonal braces from the fire wall to the fenders. Andrew

Here are the before and after of the front wheel openings. For those who have been following the discussion between RJ and myself here is my solution to our common problem. The before is of the passengers side and the after is of the drivers side. Andrew

Here are the pics of the repair. The firewall pieces were easy. But the cowl sheet metal buckled the first time and after removing it again and taking ANAL care not to heat the metal up past 105 ( the ambient temp) it buckled again but not as badly. portions of it have the feel of the top of a...

Here are pics from the front floor pan work from the past few days. When you guys replace the pans do you weld them 100%, even though the factory spot welded them every 6"-8"? I did a 1"x1" skip weld and will use seam sealer over that, I also puddle welded the field to the frame members. Does...

I have been looking at all the front spoilers available on the market and none of them did it for me. They were either too narrow or didn't go with the lines of the car. So I put one together that mirrors the bumper, is 3" tall and goes from wheel to wheel. Let me know what you think. Andrew

Guys, Here are the pics of the rear quarter panel replacement and extension. I have always intended to add three inches of sheet metal to lower the rear panels and create a valance for the car. I banged out two and got one completely installed and bondo'd in today . Ill finish the other and...

Has anyone out there used Kirker paints? If so how did you like them? Andrew

I got another bit of work done. I was very unhappy with the large gap at the side of the car where the rear bumper and rear quarter meet. It was over an inch on both sides. So I sectioned the bumper and took the gaps out. In my usual zeal I made it very tight but the bumper still fits. I will...

I have also posted this in restorations but I will keep the individual forums informed as well. Here are the progress pics so far from the initial clean up to the end of the welding, I still have to grind down the welds and recoat the interior of the wheel wells. What are you guys goin back...

I thought I would bring you guys up to date on a little progress. Originally I was going to bring some of the colors in from the original missile, in the form of Chrysler blue. After I got the rear end of the car sprayed with a temp coat of black primer I tried to put Crhysler blue into the rear...
