    Paint question (not Mopar related) - tape stripes and waterborne paint

    Try a test spray out of the clear over the tape to make sure that the stripe will not melt/lift. This happened to me some time ago.

    I lost out on a 442 today.

    In 1973 I bought a '72 Vega GT. Red with a 4 speed, about 15000 miles. I liked the styling (chicks also). It was a good car for me (work and local school) and I put a lot of miles on it. I would add about 2000 miles per month and I would change oil/filter. Not a good winter car but that is what...

    71 Charger upper door panel refurb

    I have done this to my '71. Bought the new "skins" from Legendary. It is tedious but can be done. 1) originals had the innermost window wipers stapled to the steel. I do not have the capability to staple through steel so I used black rivets from McMaster-Carr 2) you will need to re-use the...

    A Rare Cursing of Ma Mopar - and Praise for My Wife, Who Stepped Up! Ed story time...

    Here we have a practical application of Newton's first law: objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by the knees or friction from pavement. And Star Trek: if the two should meet we will have total and complete annihilation.

    How Well I Remember This One!!!

    7 months previous I just graduated from University of Illinois. Landed my first full time job working in a quality control lab straight midnight shift 10pm to 6 am. Relieving shift could not make it in so I worked another 8 to cover. Can remember it very well. '77-'78 was no prize either.

    71 Roadrunner, deleting vinyl top and windshield trim questions

    My experience with my '71 charger is that the glass clips are the same. However, the roof drip rail molding may be different due to the change in thickness because of the vinyl top being folded over the rail (or not). May have to consult the assembly manual.

    71-72 b-body street cars...what are you running for tire/wheel sizes

    On my '71 charger: front 255/60-15 on 15X8, Rear 275/60-15 on 15X8. I have manual steer so at crawling speeds it can be harder to steer. Increase speed slightly and no issue.
