Nice work but would it have been less work to save the parts car instead? Nice job on replacing floors.
to a good body working man maby but both full quarters tail pannel replacment and trunk finessing it was to much for us
I dont have the exact one for a Duster, but this will give you an idea what should be there. Just a little different size and shape will be the only difference. This pic is from a 67 Barracuda I think. Its missing the duct from blower outlet to vent.
Ever think about putting in the "Heated Rear Window" with the defroster grid on the inside of the glass? It was an option on a few dusters, and Darts. You'd also have to install the correct wiring, but if it was mine, I'd rather have that type. (Just a thought)

Got the floor almost finished today, just a bit more seam sealer is needed found the stuff we are going to use to sound/heat protect the floor as well. Finished the break down of the suspension, took most of the suspension and had it acid dipped. Few parts that were not too dirty I wire wheeled up and primed them ya for getting stuff done :burnout:

in the last page.. nice crate motor..... haha
Nice to see the floor in.
I bought a new windshield gasket and rubber locking strip for mine at justmopar.com . Total with shipping was $115. I put it in a 74 Duster. Part #'s are- WCR D759 ($90) for windshield seal and WLS 900 ($11) for rubber lock strip. Parts are for- and listed for (1970-76 A Body, Dart Sport/ Demon/ Duster, 2 door hardtop fastback). I used a yellow clothes line rope and soaped that and the windshield channel-the seal- with dawn dish detergent and a little water. Push the rope into the seal channel and have the ends about 4 inches from the top corners-on the top side. Get top of gasket in and slowly work each side down and at same time. The corners may need a little help since they have that extra rubber, so when you get close-push the rubber to the inside of the cabin before the rope gets there- makes it easier- you will see what I mean when you do this job. Make sure you get windshield trim clips in first-before installing windshield-trust me lol, especially the bottom ones. Pull rope evenly. Once in- center windshield while dawn/water mixture is still wet. I used a screwdriver-bad idea- find something like a hard plastic rod. Then just use slow even pressure or slight quick "bumps" to get windshield centered. I did this job by myself, 2 people would be alot better. My biggest problem was that the seal kept sliding off the windshield when I was starting the job. So find something to make it stick to the glass better-just nothing that will be permanent incase you need to get windshield out again.
Incase you want phone number for justmopar- its 1-877-272-5275. 1615 29th Ave S.E.; Austin, Minnesota 55912. I bought new windshield clips off of Ebay. Of course- I have no affiliation with either.
