    Sport mirrors how do you pull them apart for painting?

    Might seem like a stupid question, but before I go trying to pull my sport mirrors apart and damaging anything (remember I'm in the south pacific here = expensive and hard to get) are there any tricks to disassembly for repainting? Looks as if the mirrors were assembled and then painted by the...

    Sound deadening in 1975?

    Did something happen in 1975 to the sound deadening of the a-bodies? My '75 Duster trunk lid shuts and opens very easily with a quiet click, just like a modern car, doesn't have the normal hollow clunk I'm used to with my old mopars. It's not down to adjustment. Looking at it I can't see any...

    73-76 duster plymouth trunk emblem glued on? And location?

    Hi, I pulled the plymouth emblems off the back of both my dusters and found they were attached with some kind of epoxy glue. I'm thinking this can't be factory, how did they originally attach these? They seem too thin an emblem to be stuck on with double sided tape, so what did the factory use...

    Guttering joiner patchs, questions????

    Hi all, took the stainless trim off my 75 dusters guttering and found the joiner patches that fill the gap between the A-pillar gutter and the roof gutter are missing.

    Duster half vinyl roof trim question.

    I'm trying to find out what holds the trim across the roof on dusters with the half vinyl roof option? Studs or are they just stuck on? I'm assuming not holes drilled in the roof, sounds leaky and a pain to weld up. Just want to know to help in my deciding on which car to buy.
