Anybody ever use Home Need to start "crunching the numbers" on our Dart...once I dig myself out of the hole I got myself into $$ wise planning on getting it done...

When the body and paint was getting done on our Dart I got new glass. EZ, who has passed away had the glass installed. Both leaked a small amount of water when it got washed. The guy that put them on tried 3 times, couldn't get them to not leak. Second place tried twice...still drips. Window...

My issue has 0 to do with a car body but it is metal related. Working on my reverse flow smoker. It is based on a 60 gallon air tank compressor. It is built out of 1/8th inch mild steel. I cut the door out of the cylindrical portion of the tank. When I first cut it the door section fit like it...

Is there such a creature??

Planning on the bike being flat/semi gloss black. Would like for it to not have the roughness/texture of a typical hot rod type of black. Is there a clear coat that is meant for hot rod black? When I had the car painted EZ had 0 luck with clearing my hood. Thinking about having The Mistress of...

Misplaced the wiper arms off of the Dart...are they available anywhere, new or reproduction? I have not yet searched the net for them so if they are sorry for asking....

bare metal....with the proper prep work of course? Need to replace the oil tank on the bike...when the battery shorted out it burnt a hole in it. "Fixed" it with some epoxy last year but would like to get a side fill oil tank so I do not need to take the seat off to check the oil. Rest of the...

What are folks using? I bought a Porter Cable D/A machine last year. One of the best things I have ever purchased. I have been using Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 Liquid largely because that is what EZ, my friend/body guy suggested. I use a couple of different machine polishes from...

not the car but the cleaning tool. Need to get a new one. I have a California Duster that I have had for a very long time. Have never cared much for it, the wax streaks that it leaves behind are a pain in the a**. I use polish from Griots Garage and noticed this...

Pick up spends a lot of time parked under the Ponderosa Pine trees on our property. It is time for it's annual bath/polish/wax. Several big globs of sap up on the roof....any suggestions for getting it off?

Wish I could remember where in the hell I put them. Remember where I stashed both bumpers, saved them because of how straight they are. Rear brackets are still on the bumper. Absolutely no clue where they are. I do have a rotted out 68 Valiant outside.....wonder if the front bumper brackets are...

Was sorting thru all the car stuff outside. I am 1 short on the wiper arms. And the one I have is pretty hammered. Anybody reproducing them? If so, are they typical crappy aftermarket quality? Car is a 69 Dart....

Car was painted. Had some bubbles appear that resulted in the lower 1/4's and 1 trunk extension being replaced. On the door there appears to be some over spray from when the 1/4's were resprayed & cleared. To my untrained eyes it looks like a mist of clear found its way onto the existing...

Did the factory put some kind of caulk in between the lower quarter and the trunk extension? Car started bubbling on the lower quarter area a short while after it was painted. Ordered lower patch panels and trunk extensions and had my friend cut into it and he found some sort of caulk that had...

Any better price than direct from autometaldirect themselves?????

Just got back from picking up my car. Both glass are new with new gaskets. Zero rust, car was just painted. EZ, the body guy, had the glass company out 3 times after the initial install due to leaks. He gave up on the leak problem. I have not observed it yet but he said there is a very small...

Progress has been made at the fab shop. Just discussed, again, with the body guy about the black hood. I am not concerned with the purists view of what we did is incorrect. I am more concerned with the the flat black hood not picking up oil from it getting touched as well as the nightmare of wax...

Been on the phone with my body guy. I bought a hood from US Body Source. It is a hood that has a support structure so it can use hinges with light weight springs. It is to heavy for the light weight springs. While it lines up perfectly with the fenders/cowl when it is just layed on there whe you...

What was used. or can be used, to glue the trim to the door windows on a 69 Dart?

Body guy will be pulling them out to replace them. He told me it is a long time since he has pulled them out for someone. Any tips/suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated....

A while back I picked up a the above car. It is in rough shape. I had intentions of restoring it, providing I could find the necessary panels. Both 1/4's have pretty much had it. Anybody know if replacement panels are available for it? Hate like hell to just part it out and see another one bite...

Any body know of a source other than http://www.jacksautoparts.com/catalog/mouldings.html for the piece of moulding at the leading edge of the hood? Mine is fixable buy my body guy told me that there is not a shop worth a s..t in Phoenix to anodize it. Don't mind buying a new one, but last time...

My body guy has a buddy that "restores" them. He sent me these pictures of mine.....

I do not know if this applies to any year but a 69. Left latch is shot on my car, hunted and could find a reproduction one, except for the one that Vans Auto has, which is for a 68. The latch off of a 68 has a different method of attaching the inside lock rod. I just used one off of a 68 and it...

EZ, my body guy called today, left door latch has seen better days. Anybody know what interchanges? EZ has 1 off an E-body. I have found :read2:new ones, for a 68, my car is a 69. Can the parts be had to rebuild it? Any input would be greatly appreciated......

Body guy called me today to discuss the satin black hood. Concerns are if just shoot it with a single stage flat satin black that its rough texture will grab loads of lint when drying car. And also what will happen if I should accidentally hit the hood with a wax applicator while waxing the car...

Car had a vinyl top on it. Will be getting a new one and the body guy wants to treat it with rust bullet first, any opinions?
