Talked to Phoenix Graphics,the quarter panel decal top bend deviation should be applied with the deviation always facing the back of the car.It was slightly obvious on a dry run that doing it opposite on each quarter,with the deviation facing towards the front of the car,would end up with the...

Cawley,Thanks for all the great pictures.I'm going to call the owner of Phoenix Graphics to ask him.The 2 quarter decals,even before you put them on,are not a straight line.Above the Dart or GT cutout,around 6 inches up,they deviate from a straight line a few degrees.I guess this is to somehow...

Quick question on the quarter panel decals when held vertically against the car,should I use the decal on each quarter with the slight deviation of the two pinstripes and main stripe (a few degrees on each) about 6 inches above the dart cutout tilting toward the front of the car,or to the rear...

No modifications required.Easy?Is anything easy?I would say ,take your time,be carefull of the plastic tabs at the edges of the grill.You will need the whole kit...grill,parking lenses,pigtail wiring,mounting tabs,but not the upper and lower trim pieces if yours are in good shape.They have the...

4spdragtop,Thanks for the compliment.That is it.My inserts were definitely untouched prior to me,and there was no paint or phosphorous coating on the periphery.My original chrome on the periphery was in decent shape,and didn't look as if anything had been sanded down/removed.These were made 49...

I feel as if the pits/craters are much less noticeable,but they are not perfect,and never will be.(I had one lunar crater on an inside wall 1/2 the thickness of the ridge).I'm mulling over doing some sanding in the grooves,and remasking again (which I could do now in half the time),and...

WARNING/DISCLAIMER...I am not a professional painter,I use OTC rattlecans.I see the work of true artists/professionals,such as airbrush artists,and pro bodymen/painters.With that said,there is a certain amount of trial and error with any project,even simple ones...I began masking with 1/8 inch...

It was 50 degrees here today,so I flipped over my hood inserts,taped around the edges for no overspray on the front, and did some some experimenting.I found you definitely need adhesion promoter on the smooth chrome.I used Duplicolor,#CP199.On both inserts I followed with Rust-oleum filler...

Cosgig,Redfish,4spdragtop,Thanks so much for your input,and great pictures.I might use some hammer effect silver paint (did you know Argent is just silver in the French language) to help hide the pitting in the grooves,and it could mimic the original look of the phosphate covering.I'll try the...

Thanks all,The block explanation sewed it up for me.The 10 front and 10 back upside down Vs of the ends of the ridges are left chrome.What surprised me was the argent color finish(using a phosphate coating originally) in the grooves.My color,after 49 years of sun and acid rain,was burnt toast...

So I had my hood inserts rechromed by N.E. Chrome Plating in East Hartford,Ct.They do nice work,but in the 2 months I dropped them off,I forgot exactly how they were painted (not to smart of me,considering the time and expense spent).This is what I remember...Each has 10 long,narrow ridges.The...

Both the 71 and 72 Duster340 had the Shark's tooth grille.

The 1972 Twister did not have the shark's tooth grille,only the 1971 came with it.

How about making the middle 11 teeth an inch longer in height,since then it would come up to the bottom of your hood.Then you could slope down left and right to the 4 teeth on each side.One way or the other,It looks real cool!How about fabricating it first in cardboard,or foamboard,or...

Thanks PoissonDart74,and Redfish for your suggestions.Later in the week I'm going to look at the problem again.I do have an extra striker post which i'm going to feed into the driver's side and passenger side latches to see if their is any difference in the way they lock up.This is a great...

I need expertise...My pass. door is pretty much alligned,with good spacing,lines,etc.My striker post is fine,no metal fatigue around it,and it can be adjusted.My hinges have very little wear.The push down lock button locks as it should,with the key outside,or you inside with the door shut.The...
