How did you weld the new panel back into place?

Thanks! Perfect!

I have a 73 Duster that needs the tail panel replaced. Anyone have any input on what type of panel to look for? I'd even be happy with a Demon rear panel. I have heard to stick with a panel from a used car because they have all the nuts and bolts already assembled, but the ones I have...

I have buffed a few cars with great success. So when my friend ask me to buff his car with fresh paint, I said sure! No problem! Now that I think about it... I'm a little gun shy. I mean its fresh paint, I don't want to be the guy to screw it up. Any advice? The paint has actually...

Anyone have pictures of where the hole are suppose to go for the cable? Thanks!

huh? I guess... I haven't done much body work.

I picked up a pair of sport mirrors for $10.00 which I thought was a steal, however they are the wrong color and pretty scrapped up. Can I take out the mirrors and have them sand blasted? It seems like pretty thin metal. Also I am missing the nut that holds down the cable on the drivers...

I am just starting to toy around with the idea of painting my car. The problem is what to do with the engine bay if i paint it a differnt color? A buddy of mine said there should I'm be a way to cover the engine and paint around it. Im not real convinced of that, however pulling the engine just...

LOL! Yea well... That car thing is up in the air yet anyway. Some relative wants it from Louisiana. He want to tow it down there. It think he's nuts! It's a Duster, not a SuperBird, you know?? I'm not going to get in the middle of a family squabble, but they know I'm interested so I'm just...

I'm expecting it to be much worse when i see it in person. I'mm be doing some sanding and things I am sure. I had a guy in High School that had a Opel GT. He painted it with a paint brush! It was pretty funny. You could see all the lines in it. This Duster was Stock red, with a black...

I MAY have a lead on a car that "just needs a paint". I have seen pictures, and I can see the the body work has been done. I'm kind of putting myself on a limb here... I know there is a lot more to look into... but he's got the interior out, and the bumpers and grill, lights ect... It...

I guess so?? But the quality of the spoiler itself is made out of a better material as well. So it's not just brackets your getting for the higher price. As you can see, this is mine, and if it looks good enough for you for $100.00, than that's cool. I think too, on your year lid you have cut...

Just to point out though... The "Real" go wings are suppose to be of a better material. So, it's really up to you to go with the $100.00 one or the $300.00 - $400.00 one. I just wanted to point out that there are better ones out there. Plus the more expensive one have the OEM brackets as...

I have heard that the plastic starts to flex or bow over time. I've only had mine for a year, and I had it stored in cold storage through winter and it's still fine. For a hundred bucks, it's probably worth that even if if does flex after a few years?

Yea, mine was the $100.00 on E-bay. It's fine. My car is far from "mint" so I wasn't real worried about putting holes in the trunk. Trunk lids are pretty easy to come by too. Maybe buy a extra trunk lid, and have it drilled and painted. See how it looks?

I have a Snorkle scoop i'd be using. I have read articles where rain didn't hurt anything.... IDK? what about a angle grinder?

I would like to cut a hole in my hood for the air cleaner. I was thinking I might buy the triangle air cleaner and I could just cut out the triangle from under the hood. That might sit nice. I have never cut a hood before. Any suggestions of what to do? Thanks!

yea, you know? maybe wrongly, I kind of trust myself. I've been doing pretty well so far. if I see i'm screwing up, i'll just quit. what is that tool you use for small door dings though? thanks.

Which dolly would I use for that back rear quarter panel? There is three in the kit. (can you tell that's the dent I care about the most?) It sure is going to be hard tapping a hammer way back by the body line isn't it? What tool do you use to get small dings out of a door? can someone...

Mullinax95, you right and thanks. I do understand your point, but for me finding another rust free door, the same color as my car might be a bit difficult. Don't get me wrong, I'll look and see what I can find along the way as I drive the crap out of it. :) I did find that hammer/dolly set...

What kind of hammer do I use for getting out that dent? Can someone please guide me?? Thanks!

I put the stripe over the dent because I can't afford body work. Might as well make it look the best it can be. Can't really notice it at night. I was hoping I could simply pound that one out with a smaller rubber mallet or something?

How hard would it be to do some of this myself? Can someone give me some ideas how this could be fixed, or at least look better? Check out the door... THANKS!!

Yea, it kind of surprised me how well the gold and black goes together. I'm thinking I might paint the top of the front quarters black, and the "Swoop" up by the windows like yours too. Just a thought. Like I say I don't want a "Chrome Scoop"! I want to keep it black, I Just the chrome trim...

hmmm.... Interesting! Best of all, it seems like you know what I'm trying to say! :) That trim around that snorkel is pretty thick though. I guess it's wouldn't hurt to try?? I think the scoops on the Super Bees/Coronets had chrome trim around the scoops too. That was factory though...

I just had my snorkel hood scoop painted and I just put it on. The hood is black and so is the scoop. I had this crazy idea, that the scoop needs some chrome to match the grill. I'm not saying I want a chrome scoop! Just around the front of each side of the "intake" so it can be seen from the...

I'm looking for the gold metallic?? Thanks!

How much do you think it cost for a shop to do it? $500.00?? You think they'd install the scoop at that price then to?

I am getting my hood scoop soon, and I would like to paint it flat black. I have thought about it, and decided to paint the whole hood flat black. Since I have never done this before, How do I go about doing this? I have to sand the whole hood down don't I? Can I use an electric sander for...

I just bought this scoop on E-bay for $190.00. Does that seem fair? Also he said it's a factory scoop, and has four minor cracks. How easy do you think this is to fix, and how do you fix it? Or do you think I could get away with bolting it on as is? (I'm on a roll fixing things lately, I...
