It sounds like a tin can being kicked down a cobble stone road. The problem is the globs of body filler the factory sandwiched between the inner and outer skins has all fallen out over the years. What have you done to fix yours? I'm thinking about using a long skinny tube (like the clear...

Aaron's Duster was leaking somewhere around the windshield, so we needed to fix that before installing the new interior. Here are some pics to show the process we went through. First thing to do was a little rust repair on the A-pillars and lower channel in one corner. With the two projects...

I need to know where some of you may have gotten a six pack scoop that will fit on a '74 Duster hood. I'm guessing all the Duster hoods (at least '73-'76) have that raised center section which leaves only about 24" between the edges. The MAS scoop like one of our members here is selling is too...

"Necessity is the mother of invention" has always been for me words to live by. On a shoestring budget, sometimes one has to be innovative and inventive to get a job done. Here is an example: I used tin snips to cut this shape in a 1" putty knife. It is slim enough to easily slip under the...

There have been plenty of posts about Steele Rubber, Metro, Precision Performance, Year One, etc. weatherstripping and seals, but none have definitively answered my burning question... Can anyone tell me which of these, if any, have a roof rail seal that actually works correctly for a '74...

This is for those of you who have a functional hood scoop... What keeps water from getting sucked up into the carb? I understand the concept of drawing colder, denser air into the carb. But, if you are driving along at 65 mph in a downpour, wouldn't the rain blow right into the scoop and...

I've read somewhere that the rallye, or sport, mirror heads on some B or E- body cars can fit my Dart Sport A-body, but the bases, or pedestals, must be swapped out. Anyone have direct knowledge of this and can tell me what combinations of heads/bases will work? Thanks, Jerry

We finally installed on his Dart Sport a go-wing that Aaron got for Christmas. Someone asked me to post pics of the underside of the deck lid to show how the brackets mount. To make the install look a little neater, Aaron taped off the holes in the deck and sprayed black up inside as best he...

You know... those used on A-bodies, not the B-body "gull-wing". I bought a repro from Dante's Auto Parts for Aaron's Christmas gift. It was supplied by First Place Auto Products. I need to know what the final finish looks like on an original spoiler. This one has a VERY rough surface, what...

I recently got an aftermarket twin snorkle hood scoop from Mopar by Crane. The fiberglass scoop's quality and finish is excellent. They don't include mounting studs, but it has a wide flange turned in about an inch along the bottom edge. Sarah Crane told me some folks rivet them on, some use...

While digging through the last few remaining parts in the storage crate, I found a triangle-shaped pressed metal shield with an attached fiber gasket. I know it goes somewhere under the front frame rail, but even using the four bolt holes for landmarks, I can't seem to figure out where this...

Can you tell me what the part numbers are for the bases on the A-body sport mirrors? Thanks, Jerry

Have any of you replaced your roof rail seals and got your door glass to seal properly? Aaron and I have been unsuccessfully fighting the windows on his '74 Dart Sport. It seems like no matter what we do, there is no solution. I kept the old seals to have something to compare to, and the...

Well, I struck out on getting personal insight on installing the large glass. Let's try this. Has anyone replaced door glass in a Duster or Dart Sport and can give me first-hand tips on adjusting it properly? Three mounting studs and two lift stops are attached directly through the glass...

If you have personally and successfully installed front and rear glass in a '73 - '76 Dart Sport (or Duster), please send me a PM. Aaron and I are ready to give it a try on his car. I've gotten some good general info from some folks, but they haven't actually done it. I have some specific...

You know the ones. The round ones about 3/4" long that snap into a square hole in the front of the inner fender's headlight bucket. The headlight bezels screw into two of them at the outer edge of the fender. Of course, I am talking about some for Aaron's '74 Dart Sport. The ones that...

My son's '74 Dart Sport had a thin aluminum trim piece running under the bottom lip of the header panel (beak). I won a few items on EBay, including an extra header panel. It has a different trim piece that we thought might look good on his car. It is taller and has the "D O D G E" letters...

Finally!! Aaron's "Dartster" got its new paint job today. I'll take him to see it tomorrow after football practice. After a little buffing, it will be ready to go home for the final assembly. My wife will be so glad to get all the boxes, parts, seats, etc. out of the house. I'll get some...
