    Converting to different seats

    I could see how the bolstered seats look out of place, but if you set the car up to handle you really need something to keep you in place. Not to mention if you do some big road trips, a modern seat can make a big difference.

    Converting to different seats

    I had a set of sunfire seats in my duster. I got them like brand new. they are a nice size for abodies. I like the flip forward and slide feature where they return to the original location, brackets were kind of a pain since the lft and right seat use a different setup. I managed to set them on...

    Front Seat Issues

    Replacing the bench with non mopar buckets..

    these cars are kind of a pain in the *** to get seats to work in. today im hoping to start putting a set of late model buckets in my duster too. i dont like the high back buckets and the earlier low back buckets go for way too much cash, not to mention the added comfort and support a late...

    Front Bench seat foam 69 Dart

    the 73 had 2" thick? that would explain why my 74 duster seat is so much more comfy than my 69 dart, the dart had about 3/4" foam over the springs. it was in good shape but i added 1/4 or 3/8" to it from the fabric store.

    Best way to remove dash?

    if you dont want to remove the windshield, reach up under there with a cutoff wheel and zip off the handfull of blind nuts. it will come right out. when you reinstall you have to put the blind nuts on the dash instead of the body and run the shortest possible 1/4" bolts up fro mthe bottom. there...

    to re instal the dash you just reverse the hardware new blind nuts upside down, on the dash frame instead of the mounting flanges, inserting the shortest possible bolts from underneath, there is room under the gasket for the blind nuts and some thread to stick out, but if the bolts are too long...
