You can weld it with GMAW (mig). I did a lot of this with 316L wire and trimix gas (co2, argon, helium) at the shop I used to work at. I'd imagine it can be done with TIG as well, but I'm not very experienced in that area. Stainless warps a bit differently than mild though, so you really need...

The ones on summit look like they're for Dart Sports.

Yeah. Luckily the rust is under the body-line so it shouldn't be too difficult to fab something up. Would rather weld in a proper patch though. There is a semi-local guy with a parts car. I'll give him a call tomorrow and see what he'd charge to let me chop the panels out. On that note; are...

With engine and transmission done, I decided to start on body stuff. Got rust-through in the LH rear quarter and about a 1/4" of bondo. Decided it's be best to just cut it out and replace it. Got two questions: First, my car is a '72 dart custom 4-door. Are the 2-door quarters the same? (I'm...

Shouldn't be a problem. If you're really worried about it, just run tacks all the way down the tear and allow for cooling between tacks.

Took me three trips to autozone to get this right. First trip, they told me they only had the modern style replacements that replace everything by clipping onto the wiper arm. It was the dead of winter and needed wipers so I said okay and got a set. Got the new wipers home and they wouldn't...

They're pretty simple to make. Get some tubing that fits snugly over your hood pins. Cut four pieces to length. Weld on a wide-ish circular flange to one end of each tube. (could do without the flanges if you're not worried about the weight of the hood on the edge of the hood pin holes)...

Thanks guys. abdywgn; your suggestion solved my problem. I guess I had the front-back position correct, but the up-down on the rear bolts was off. Thanks again!

I left the hood off for a couple months with the hinges in the up position. When I put the hood back on a few days ago, the rear of the hood won't come down. Looks like the guys with a tall intake but a stock hood. haha I'm guessing it's because the springs were relaxed for so long that they...

Don't suppose you can recall who posted it, or have a link?

I'm restoring my spare '71 dart grill. Still removing the factory paint with a scotch-brite currently. (Holy crap does that suck, haha) Anywho, I'm thinking about putting speed-tape (basically aluminum tape with super adhesive) in the turn signal recesses to act as reflectors for the light. I...

It's also illegal in some states.

There are matte auto paints and clear coats that hold up just the same as gloss. Or you can always go with plasti-dip!

(Regarding the cast ext., not the fiberglass) My driver's side fender extension is missing two of the mounting studs and the pass. side one is missing three! As best as I can figure, I've got three options: Epoxy some bolts or studs in place. Drill and tap the extension where the studs...

Haha, I got my front valance from him. He's a great guy.

Just want to vent a little and remind people to never assume that the previous owner of their car knew anything about a-bodies... So this weekend I finally welded in the side-marker fill panel on my pass front fender. Nothing difficult about it; just kept putting it off. So this afternoon I...

Hmm... I kind of like it! I may end up with a spare grille so if I do, I'll definitely give it a whirl. Thanks guys. Bonus question: Anybody have a picture of a grille painted plum-crazy? :D Thanks again all, ~Kev.

I've almost finished shaving my front side markers and about to order a new valance so paint time is just around the corner. I have a '71 grille on my '72 and I've been playing around with the idea of painting the parts that would normally be silver to match the body colour. I'm just having a...

Not long after I bought my '72 four-door, I noticed water in the front doors are washing it. I figured it was just the lower window seals and didn't think much of it since I've got some time before the rainy season. Turns out, the leak is actually a sizable gap between the bottom rubber frame...

I threw a sheet gauge on my '72 Dart's front fender last week before starting the shave job on the side markers and measured around 18ga. For what it's worth, I made my patch panels from 20ga and they seem alright. Not sure if that info will help ya, but I figured I'd post it just in case.

About a month ago, I finally made my way back to mopar with the purchase of a '72 Dart four door. It was a swingin' deal and it's in really great condition save for some front fender damage, but two new fenders were included in the deal. One other thing is that, while it had all the exterior...
