I've got three of them. A 74 GT a 75 and a 76. The GT has a cage installed and was road raced and will be rebuilt in time. The other two are rusty parts cars. My wife had one in 1983 as a daily driver. It had electrical issues so we sold it. It was a decent cheap car back then. Now they are...

I had a dark green, black vinyl top, white bumble bee stripe 68 GTS with a 383 4spd combo. It had a pistol grip shifter, fender well headers and Cragar S/S wheels circa 1978. I miss that old Mopar. Last seen in Keyesport Illinois.

I've been doing body/paint work for 30 yrs. What I'm reading here is that the guy doing the work has taken in more than he can do in a reasonable time frame. Nine projects should have four full time employees working on them. Pizz the guy off and your car will be put at the back of the line. Be...

Well it's been many yrs since I've had an A-body Mopar and this one just fell into my lap last night. I got a call from a friend who told me about this car for sale. He gave me the contact info so I went to look...It's a 73 Duster /6 with a/c and ps. The only sheet metal repair needed is the...

I've got three, a 74 GT a 75 and a 76. I wanted to build the 74 GT for my wife but she gave up hope of me ever getting it done. I'd trade all three for a 68 Dart project.

Who rebuilds hinges or what is the best way to rebuild them?

Got the info I needed from another Mopar friend...thanks

There was a 70 Satellite for sale in the car corral at Monster Mopar in St Louis. It was green with a black top and priced at $15,000. It was a very clean car. My friend that was with me wants to buiy the car but didn't get the contact info. Does anybody know who owns the car or have contact...

I thought the St Louis show was good but the crowds were down from previous years. The event staff were great and helpfull. I was in the swap meet area with a 68 Fury 4dr for sale. There were several open swap spaces that used to be full and the show field wasn't as full, but the quality of the...

Call Bill at 216-832-8697. He is out on the west coast right now looking for a haul back to Ohio. He may be able to help but you need to act fast.

My 68 Fury II, 63,000 original mile survivor. Going to be a daily driver...maybe And my wifes 74 Dodge Colt GT proj and 75 Colt parts car.

And a trailer hitch to boot!!

I just wanted to give everybody a heads up. The annual spring swapmeet in Cape Girardeau Mo will be next sunday Feb 19th. The weather should be nice. This swap meet has grown so bring your walking shoes. It will be held at Arena Park as usual. If your selling get there before dawn as there will...

I'll be in St Louis for sure and Indy if the funds are good.

Got mine yesterday.....$8.57. Gonna buy beer with mine. Thanks for the buzz ebay!!

I check both several times a day and I like both formats

Thank you to all my fellow vets, past and present. I would like to give a special shout out to those serving with the 25th Inf Div, Tropic Lightning

I had a 75 Plymouth Gran Fury that was an Illinois State police cruiser with a 440. It was a blast to mash the pedal at 100mph and the trans would downshift and plant you in the seat. I'm headed out to an estate auction today that has a 59 Dodge Coronet ex Missouri Highway Patrol car. I may have...

Yes they made them. I see them every now and then here in Mo. You'll have better luck finding a Ram 2500 quadcab with a short box though. I had an 04 2500 quadcab 4x4 diesel/ automatic. It was stock, got 16 mpg pulling a loaded car trailer all day long. Lots of power for hills, comfortable and...

The over programmed diesel truck guys are a pita also. I love a Cummins truck but when it's pushing more fuel out the exhaust than it burning, that's annoying. Add to that 5" exhaust pipes that drown out even the boom box crowd and geez, enough already!!

To save time the car will be in bodyshop prison and money.....I'd freshen up the silver with a basecoat/ clear in silver with a sport stripe. The stripe could be almost any color you and your wife like on a silver car. Silver also hides dirt and dust at shows or while cruising.

Any auto parts store that sells body supplies should have double sided tape. 3m is the most common and comes in several widths. Be sure to clean your old moulding off good and use the prep wipes before applying the new tape. When you use the prep wipes the tape will stick instantly so be...

There has never been a guaranteed exact match when mixing paint. There's to many variables. Go to a paint store with this DuPont number and have them mix you a half pint and then take that home to see how close it is. Or better yet see if they have a color chip you can use to match to your car...

OK, DuPonts new formula number for Y3 Harvest Gold is 44129F. It's a national fleet color now. This should get you close but it might need to be tinted for an exact match to your car. Hope this helps.

Dllas we use Chroma Premier. Reds and whites seem to be the worst for transparency, many are 2 to 1 mix ratios o help with coverage. Silvers and black cover the best. With DuPont it is critical to use the correct value shade sealer. In our shop we rarely do complete paint jobs although we do...

OK your right and my 27 years of painting are wrong. Feel better now? Everybody sprays differently and every gun sprays differenty. Your right about uniform hiding but if the car is sealed with a uniform color of sealer then that's a mute point. I don't think the OP said anything about doing a...

With base coat it's done all the time. One quart of base reduces down to two quarts of sprayable color....that's a half gallon of sprayable color. You only put enough color to achieve a uniform color on the car. I also said that some metallics are more transparent and might need more color. A...

You have it backwards. A quart of color should cover the entire car in base coat, then a gallon of clear to do the entire car. We use DuPonts chroma system at work. For metallics the base is very transparent on some colors so keep that in mind. The base coat is mixed 1 to 1 so for a quart of...

I wouldn't want to get caught shipping paint to California or recieving it either. It is illegal as it is considered hazardous materiel. A better bet would be someone transporting a car to Ca and the paint could be in the trunk for a free ride. There's haulers headed that way every week of the year.

Since the Op is in California he will be stuck with waterbourne type paint I believe. Can you even buy single stage solvent based paint there anymore? He may not be able to buy paint over the counter as a consumer. I know that DuPont has a chart with the complete color spectrum and he should be...
