Don't know what it is, but I know what it is not. It is not a '60/'70s piece. Looking at the finish...I'd say late '80s, '90s. Most likely a two piece job...shaker bracing, and six-pack skin. Saves money...one bracing for different skins.

The shield has 4 captive nuts and bolts. 2 in the middle, and two out on the ends. It bolts to the rad support.

That is what I thought... the jamb is part of the quarter. Darts and Barracudas are similar. I would recommend using the original jamb if at all possible.

Grimreaper, are you sure there are spotwelds at the front edge of the quarter along the door opening? In the '66 Dart, the door jamb is part of the quarter. Are Barracudas different?

I don't use a tool. I use a thin spring steel paint scraper. I slide it between the trim and the edge of the body until I contact a clip, then I bend the trim and clip forward while gently working the trim up with my other hand. Eventually you will bend the clip far enough to pop the trim up. I...

Has anyone out there replaced the entire trunk opening on their car? From the filler panel below the rear window, down both trunk gutters. Just how complicated is this? It looks like the quarters lay on top of the gutters, and the gutters are welded on top of the filler panel which is spot...

The cowl on my original '66 Dart drag car has cracks coming out from both front pillars. This happened when the car came down from hard launches, driving the roofs weight into the cowl via the pillars. it is fairly common on cars that took alot of abuse. It is an easy fix, just weld...

That is the '71 Demon Sizzler stripe. The Sizzler stripe was carried over to '72, but the difference between the '72 and that particular '71 stripe is the leading edge of the hood does not have the SIZZLER lettering. The stripe portion of the SIZZLER stripe is only the multi line edges on either...

I have a friend with a F3 green '69 GTS with a white bumblebee stripe. Looks awesome. I'm a big fan of turbine bronze with white stripes. I had a '69 swinger 340 4-speed car that was F8...I had my doubts, but it turned out to be a really nice color with white stripes. Mine was stripe delete, so...

I have a '72 Demon hood that will not fit on my '71 Demon. Does the hood you have, have eliptical holes and the plate that the hood bolts thread into... slide loosely for adjustment? That is what my '71 hood is like. The '72 hood has round holes, and the plate that the hood bolts thread into is...

It is fairly simple turning a '72 DartSwinger into a '69 Dart hardtop. A.) Sell the '72. B.) Buy a '69 hardtop.

Do a search in the early A-body section. There is a good post about that exact topic. The car in question was a '66, but it is the same process.

I bought a nice hood that was supposed to be a '71. It appears it is not a '71 and may be a '72. The hood adjustment holes are different. The '71 plates that the bolts screw into slide back and forth in eliptical holes. The hood I have has round holes and the plate the screws fasten into is...

I have a car...PARTS car, that is really too solid to cut up. I fully intended to part it out, but it is a rare car that was loaded with all the goodies everyone seems to want. It is a '71 Demon Sizzler, and came with hood blackout, hood pins, painted racing mirrors, H-D suspension/rallye...

POR 15 under a vinyl top would be a waste of money if you are stripping the roof. Just paint it. Lots of Mopars came off the line without paint under vinyl tops. I have one in my garage right now. They sprayed both edges of the roof, and left the top bare. Paint will seal the roof fine.

Seeing as I own a real Citron Yella/Curious Yellow '71 Demon, I cringe when I see row after row of cars painted in this color at shows. High impact colors look good on the cars that were painted high impact by the factory...but I get tired of seeing every Mopar hosed in these colors. BORING. I...

No harm, no foul. Sounds like an interesting build.

The 318-3 truck crank #2268810 was included in the Dodge Tech bulletin regarding the ugrade of factory D/Darts or other 235hp 273 4-barrel cars to race in D/class, Modified Production, FX, and Gas. The 318-3 truck crank was a replacement for the 273 crank, and had identical balance.

The factory drag package, '66 D/Darts were 2946 pounds from the factory. That was exceedingly heavy for the class. They were 300 pounds lighter than the standard GT. The '68 hemi Superstock Darts were built to weigh 3000 pounds. "Man,theres some light early a-bodies..i thought my '70 duster...

'66 Darts are heavy. '66 Barracudas are heavy. Niether one is lighter than a factory stripped down Duster. With the sole exception of the early Valiant, it is a myth that early A-body cars are lightweights.

Can't you use a dropped base?

I vote NO scoop. '66 Darts didn't come with them, and they couldn't race Stock classes with them. Nostalgia won't allow them either.

A57 'Cuda hood scoops. Those are my favorite Barracuda scoops. My buddy has them on his 440 M-code. they don't need to be open to look good, and I don't think I'd chop up a good hood to experiment. They just look good.

I guess I'm glad that I originally came from the Pontiac camp many, many, years ago, so I don't get all weak in the kness when I see a shaker hood. To be honest I like the Mopar shaker the least of all. I prefer the Ford, then the early TA. Anyway I really don't like the look of the shaker on...

I have a friend who bought his '74 Dart Sport 360 WITH DUAL SCOOP brand new off the White Bear Lake Dodge lot in early winter 1974. He traded a volkswagon beetle with bad heat for it, and he was looking at TWO identical cars, WITH dual scoops. One green with manual steering...one yellow with...
