I've been a licensed auto body and paint tech for 32 years, restoring Mopars for almost 40 years. I'll share some tips on bare metal and proper ways to deal with it. As for your sandblasted fenders, first off, keep your bare hands off of them. The sandblasted metal is somewhat porous now, and...

Yes, I have bought Genuine Chrysler fuzzies that had the wrong dimension h clips included, and repros that were incorrect too. Best to use the original h clips if they aren't broken or crispy.

Upon closer inspection, I see the slotted pieces are mark left and right. So the correct installation is bolts to the outside

I have found the new white plastic clips are a bit oversized and cause the window to be very stiff sliding in the front track. They usually need to be filed down a bit.

There were no aluminum water pumps on small blocks until 1970

On the 71 Go Wing trunk lid spoiler, the pedestals are interchangable left to right. There is a 5/16" bolt on each one that can be loosened so the wing angle can be adjusted. I have seen the spoilers with the adjusting bolts facing out, and also with them facing in. Is there a "correct"...

From personal experience, I have found the factory Organisol was not textured like we see nowdays. I had an original paint 69 Road Runner with blackout hood stripes, and two 69 Charger R/T's with blackout tail panels. All 3 were original paint Organisol finish. In the unfaded areas, such as when...

at this moment, It's a toss up between the Speedpro 2355 forged pistons, which have a 2.061 compression height, and the Keith Black Silvolite 237 Hypereutetics, which have a 2.067 compression height. Both are close to the factory specs, although the 237's have only 2 valve reliefs, which isn't a...

Yes, 4 valve relief Six Pack pistons, and 346 heads in 1971

I just compared the Speed Pro pistons, and the 2355 looks closest in compression height and it has 4 valve reliefs like the factory pistons have. But if it is .017" down in the bore like Gunner1 says above, then its lower compression than stock. The 2266 looks very low compression

my factory installed 440 Six Pack pistons are zero deck. Edit: Close to zero deck. I have it all apart, and did not measure before pulling it apart, but they were visually very close to zero deck.

I'm rebuilding a 71 440 Six Pack. Completely stock. I would like to use pistons that match the original specs for compression. I see the Keith Black KB 237 pistons appear to have the same compression height. Anyone have experience with these pistons? Other than the modern head gaskets being...

I need a set of new 15X7 brushed trim rings. Who sells the best reproductions? I want the correct depth and appearance. Thanks in advance

No Coronet fenders have ever been reproduced. By any company. Sherman does not make parts-They are just a retailer. New Chrysler fenders in those days were often factory defects. Pieces welded together crooked, the outer skin not tightly crimped over the inner structure etc, so look close for...

Anyone have updates on top quality R/T hood decal sources?

68 and 69 Coronet fenders are quite different. Not only is the side marker different, but the headlight panel, and hood adjuster bracket are different between 68 and 69. It's quite involved to convert from one to the other

68-70 Plymouth only. Does not fit any Dodge

I already removed my hood decal. The best method is to use a stripe eraser wheel. It doesn’t hurt the paint and minimal cleanup since it erases most of the glue too

the only 70 Coronet quarter skins are the generic flimsy panels that have been around for 30 years. They are sold by Goodmark and many other places. They are not accurate. The best bet is to buy AMD 69 Coronet quarters, and do the modification to the scallop and rear end using your old 70...

Thanks for all the replies. Well, hopefully I can find a top quality hood decal that has the Ramcharger hole pre cut. I don’t want to mess around trying to cut that hole
