I got a fiberglass hood insulation pad from REM for my 65 Dart. First, the instructions say to mount it "with skin side toward the hood". But the instructions are generic and not specific to my car or even to Mopar. Anyone tried mounting one of these things the other way? Thoughts or...

I just discovered that Classic Industries now has 1965 Dart Candy Canes. At 469.99 a pair they are more expensive than Layson's, but if you get them during a 30% off sale they would only be 329. "Only" Not sure when that changed, but when I got mine, Layson's was the only source...

Is it possible to replace the entire floor of a 65 Barracuda in one piece? If so, how does it go in, through the side door/qtr window, or through the back window? The car also needs a new cross member because somebody cut the cross member for some unknown reason. I have a solid floor in a...

I'm having my aluminum trim re-anodized. Before they can anodize it, it must be stripped and polished. The anodizing company will chemically strip the parts for a low price, but it's up to me to polish them, or have them polished. Most of the pieces just get polished to high gloss, but...

I'm ready to paint the engine bay, interior and trunk on my 65 Dart. The car is AA-1 Medium Gold Poly inside and out. It'll be a 2-stage paint job with Southern Polyurethanes Euro Clear. I picked up a quart of flattening agent in case I want to decrease the shine. So the question is...

I hung the doors on my car today and I'm finding it impossible to get good alignment with the rear quarter. I have a pretty firm understanding of how the adjustments work, I've read all the posts I could find on FABO and even watched an old mopar training video on door adjustment. My problem...

I'm finally finished with as much metal work as I can do before sending the car out for media blast. The plan is to deliver the car to them tomorrow morning. A local shop is willing to blast my car for $800 using Copper Slag. Anyone heard of this media? Is it a good choice? I think $800...

My car has the radio antenna in the rear quarter, which I must admit looks pretty good. Here's what my car looks like with the antenna in the back. But, I'm doing an original restoration and so I think I should move it to the front fender. Trouble is, I have two fenders and neither one has an...

I had some rust in my trunk and in the rear quarters. The rust was worst on the passenger side with rust through and severe pitting in the trunk floor and extension. There was also a patch welded into the top of the right extension. Both sides had rust at the bottom of the quarters and...

The floor of my 65 convertible had rust in the back seat area. From the bottom everything looked pretty good, with lots of engine oil and tranny fluid to keep the metal protected from the elements. But when I pulled the carpet, the inside was not so nice. The front foot wells were solid...

What's a fair price for a Millermatic 200 welder? Not sure when it was made but comes with a large bottle but no spool gun (for aluminum?). Is this a good choice for welding automotive sheet metal? Will I feel a big difference between this and a harbor freight 180 when welding sheet metal?

Just ripped out my nasty carpet and found lots of nasty stuff underneath. I have a bunch of question about what I'm seeing. How many holes did the factory drill for seats in 1965? I have 8 smaller holes that I can tell are obviously not original. The larger inboard holes with the...

I'm trying to take apart the vent window on my 65 Dart so I can replace the gasket. I've got it out of the car, but I'm stuck on the last piece.:banghead: There is a pin sticking out of the shaft to limit the rotation of the glass. I've circled it in red, below. I don't think it's a pin. I...
