    1970 340 Duster with a fender tag code V02

    I'm an older guy and have an older brother who sold new Mopar from 1968 to 1972. I recall seeing several cars during that period with differnet color factory painted tops, when compared to body color. One example I remember was a 1970 Duster 340 in FM3 body color (Moulin Rouge) with a...

    Paint/Body Shop

    There is a board member who goes by Challenger Gary, who is unemployed, but has great Mopar restoration skills, and recently restored 3 Mopars, including a nice 1973 Dart, a 1972 Charger and a 1970 Challenger R/T. His work is excellent and his price is right. Search the Member Restorations...

    Differences Between /6 and 340 Bodies?

    Factory 340 K member included a factory sway bar as standard equipment. For a 1971 340 Demon, that car included a 340 Rallye dash, but that's not something you have to really worry about. What color for your car's exterior? Luv those 340 Demons!

    Can someone help me with my "Chrome" idea for my scoop?

    Since you already have a black hood, I'd stay with the black hood scoop. I have a 1971 factory 340 Duster, Gold Leaf Metallic with the factory blackout hood treatment and the 340 Wedge callout on the black (Organisol) hood. I like the black hood contrast against the gold exterior, works well...

    Where can I order stock color paint?

    Another vote for Tower Paint. When I restored the engine bay of my 1969 340 Dart Swinger, Tower made up three rattle cans of R4 Bright Red paint for me. I thoroughly cleaned the engine bay (with the engine out), then shot the engine bay and inner fenders/firewall, followed by clear after a...

    just got my 70 Duster back from paint, what do you think??

    The paint looks great and if I might say, you got a BARGAIN in terms of the cost! BTW are the bumpers fiberglass? It's all about personal preferences, but I know of a 1972 Duster same color as yours --- beautiful 440 conversion too that looks great with the chrome bumpers. You did...

    Paint/body work quote

    LongGone--- I think for blocking and final prep, then a nice paint job, that $3,500 is a good deal. There's a guy on Moparts named Darrah who has a late '60s Dart with a big block, who lives in the Richmond VA area. Anyway, his car is like FE5 Red, he had one quarter hung, car was blocked...

    Factory Duster 340 stripe question

    For some reason the 1971 Duster 340 brochure cover did not upload so I'll attempt that with this message. I just found the answer! The 1971 Duster 340 cover car is too large of a file to be attached to this message. Ouch!

    Factory Duster 340 stripe question

    There is a picture thread on Darts, Dusters and Demons, from about a week or so ago. In that thread, my 1971 factory Duster 340 is shown with the proper side and rear transverse stripes on the trunk / tailights panel. Some other factory 340 Dusters are shown in that thread for comparison...

    chop chop

    Nice job with that sawzall! There are plenty of SBC K-H brake parts available, including the rotors, the calipers, and rebuild kits for the calipers. Try O'Reilly's, Napa, brakewarehouse, or Summit, for the rotors, and a place named calipersonline.com will re-sleeve the caliper piston...

    Price watch

    Pricing would depend on whether the car is a real factory 340 car. The fender tag, dash Vin plate, drivers door VIN decal for a factory 340 car should read: VS29H1BXXXXXX A real factory 340 car in need of a full resto., but that is running driving, with all the factory parts in place, may...

    Safe to Remove Inner Fenders?

    Unless you intend to make your street driven car == a race car, you will regret removing the inner fenders. Basically by removing the inner fenders, you are removing some of the structural integrity of the car. If you ever decide to sell this car without the inner fenders in place, the...

    Whats Your Favourite Colour?

    None of the ones you listed on a 1970 - 1971 Plymouth Duster 340... For me, it's B7 - Jamaica Blue Metallic, which is what I had on my new 1970 340 Duster! What a color on that body! Rare and understated, but with enough metallic to kep your interest when you look at it. I also had...

    body & paint quotes

    I agree with all the comments amde that the $25+K quotes are not reasonable I think the shop is trying to tell you something---they DO NOT want to do your car... They know that by quoting that amount, you will walk, and thats what they wanted in the first place. Spending more than...
