The Mopar Gods reeeeally want this mount to be rusty.... Noticed a few paint bubbles on the new part - rubbed a finger across them and found a surprise underneath!

I wouldn't say they look terrible - but not great either. I'll drop some pictures below - but either way, I'd prefer leaving the mounts where they are and fixing it properly. Here's a couple other shots I have on my phone:

After speaking with the guy who owns the restoration shop I'm going to bolt this together for the (slow and careful) 2-mile drive to his shop. He'll get it on the lift and do a full inspection so we can make a call on what needs addressing and how. They do a lot of work on cars from the 40s...

Triggering my PTSD

Nice ride!

Welcome - Nice Duster! And good luck w/ the build!

You know... normally I'm in the 'send it' crowd - I just cant talk myself into it with this one though. I'm sure it'd be fine for a bit but on the off chance it wasn't the risk would be too high. Gotta love these old cars!

Well @72bluNblu @RustyRatRod & @junkyardhero confirmed what I was thinking - I have a new mount on the way and I'm going to be visiting with a buddy who does fabrication work for a restoration shop to see if he'll help out with the welding. On a related question - do you think it would be...

My leaf spring saga continues. I just finished pulling the old springs and found a pretty rusted area on the front side of the driver's side frame where the bolts for the hanger come through like so: The other side isn't bad: This is the same spot after some "percussive maintenance" to...

Local welder did a great job on these

I've done more for less! Sadly this would be too wide for me though - thanks for looking out

They offered to credit the full amount back to me - a pretty stand-up thing to do I'd say.

I sent them the pictures this morning and they offered to credit the full purchase price back to me. Pretty straight forward process and I'm assuming this was just a fluke so will keep ordering from them for the time being.

Oof

4 pieces total - it's wild haha

Also had to debur the inside of the tube pretty heavily. Would have destroyed the bushings. I'm actually pretty surprised by the lack of qc since I've heard a lot of good things about them - hopefully this one was just a fluke

I've got a great welder locally who says he'll knock these out in the morning. Hopefully Mancini will credit me for his time

Working on installing a new set of leaf springs and these are the hangers I just opened up. Craftsmanship looks kind of shoddy and just wondering if you guys would be comfortable running these or if I should send them back?

Not sure if you all will find this as interesting as I did - I just love old things. Anyway - pulled my back seat while running some wires and found this little guy tucked under the edge of the carpet. Apparently 51 years ago one of the guys assembling my car dropped their pencil - and it...

Thanks for this reply - I really like your idea on that restrictor. To clarify - are you saying you plumb in a bung for a new return at the top of the tank or do you use the one we've now figured out is the vent. Doesn't the tank still need a vent?

@RustyRatRod pointed me in the direction of the factory repair manual (insanely better than the Hayes I have by the way...) it appears that second line is the vent that used to run to a charcoal canister which has since been deleted. I'll try your idea about the ethanol free route but I'd still...

I occasionally fight hard starts on my 73 Dart Swinger which seems to be a heat soak issue. After reading a few threads online about adding a vapor return line and filter I crawled under the car and found what I assume to be a vapor return line running along side the fuel line - though it...

I'm looking to upgrade the rear end on my 73 Dart to an 8.25. It looks like there are a few year models of Jeeps that I could pull one out of with some slight modifications - but if I can find a straight drop-in replacement that just needs new gearing that I'd rather go that way. I'm in North...

Yeah I'm not trying to start drama with people here either. I'm a new member so maybe I just don't know how sales normally run here but it seemed clear to me that I wanted this rear end and that Roy was 2nd in line in showing interest. Yes - he did offer $ first so going forward I guess I need...

Yeah I was fully expecting to pay for it now and pick it up while in town next month. Just kind of annoyed at the other guy who can plainly see I'm going to buy the thing then tries to jump in and buy it out from under me.

Man... Guess I need to check with @roy villarreal from now on anytime I want to buy something and save him the trouble of trying to get it out from under me. Little kid stuff man.

Bruh..

I'm actually going to be down there in mid-October and could bring it back with me. Would you mind grabbing measurements from drum to drum and perch to perch?

Still have this?

Was sold before I got to it
