    10 month paint job

    You are getting a good deal. I left my 70 Swinger at my cousins shop (who BTW has painted several cars for me in a timely fashion and turned out amazing) for 3 years. Within 3 months the car was straight and ready for final blocking. Then it sat while his business grew out of hand. I paid 5k up...

    What are these headlight bezels for?

    I bought these headlight bezels off Ebay in 2005 and I gave them to my neighbor for his 63 Dodge 330 max wedge clone. He tells me that they aren't for a B body and they possibly are for an A body. I did have the boxes for them as they were NOS. My neighbor gave them back to me minus the boxes...

    68 GTS grill center

    I bought a plastic one about 10 years ago and I think I got it from Tony D'augustino. I think it was $200. Overall it was pretty nice but it kinda looked like it was made of plastic. Unfortunately it is buried in my parts stash and I dont have any pics of it. I think when its on the car no one...

    Quality of AAR fiberglass bumpers?

    I have an AAR hood on my 70 Swinger and it was perfect, no trimming at all and lined up better than the factory hood that came off. I have used Glasstek on some of my other cars (non Mopar) and the fit and quality was excellent.

    Quarter Fitment Problem

    Jim, If your having to pull the quarter to the trunk extension then I would slice the quarter skin from the bottom and follow the wheel oepening up towards the top going just past where the quarter fits good. I would then either clamp it with some vise grips or cleco pin it or even tech screw...

    Quarter Fitment Problem

    Pictures will help. I have run into these problems before and had to slice like 383GTS is talking about. Unfortunately repro panels force us into these situations.

    Tubbing

    IMHO I would not tub it. I fit a 275/60r15 drag radial in my 70 Dart rear tub with a little massaging. I have run 10s with this set up and 60 foot times in the 1.50 range. There is more to hooking up than just large rear tires. I would work the front suspension and get the ride height leveled...

    How to Roof Swap

    My first roof skin was on my 70 Dart, which by the way was a native Orange County Ca car! It is pretty simple to do a roof skin. All you need is a good spot weld cutter. I use the Eastwoods one, regardless you will want one with drill as the centering pin. Take your time and strip the roof to...

    Sheet metal question.

    I used 2 patches and a trunk floor with extensions from Sherman. I cant tell you how bad the fit. By the time I was done unbending and rebending their parts I could have just made my own and it would have turned out better. :bootysha:

    Sheet metal question.

    Having installed both Goodmark and AMD I'd have to say spend a little more and go with AMD. Goodmark and AMD dont share stamps. AMD fits, Badmark doesnt. Pretty simple.

    Hood Pins

    I think I am mistaken, my 68 Dart and my 74 Duster dont have the dimple I spoke of. I did notice the hole just towards the fender next to the bumper. I think that is where I installed my pins in my 70 Swinger. I did notice that my swinger had a dimple in that area and it also had a stamped hole...

    Hood Pins

    On some of the earlier a-bodies have a dimple in the area of the hood bumper and a cut out in the underside of the hood. I installed a set on my 70 Swinger and it was obvious to me where the pins went, with that said I am not sure of a 76 Duster. I am going to my shop tomorrow and can take some...
