    Windshield price?

    The other option, if you’re going to Nationals in Carlisle, is to purchase from one of the vendors and they will deliver it to Carlisle free. I think Kramer does that IIRC.

    amateur needs paint help

    That is a bummer - it just sucks when you’re getting to that stage and this happens. I feel for you! I think it’s very unlikely you will be able to sand it smooth and try to re-coat. I’m in the camp of probably going to have to bring it back to bare metal. You might be onto something with the...

    Time to move on

    This is an excellent alternative if you have the time and want to do it yourself. I did this at my local Votech school where they teach metal/bodywork for high school kids during they day and they have an evening adult program. We were able to bring any project in and work on it at our own...

    Unmolested 65. A little overspray from painting the trunk. These were not painted

    How close are modern paint formulas to vintage colors ?

    My perspective from the one and only job I’ve done is the match with modern formulas was a really good match to original. I redid my 65 Belvedere in original Dark Turquoise Met. The only spot on the car that was still in original paint when I repainted it was the package tray and it was a very...

    "To-Do" or "Not-To-Don't" list after receiving back from painting / body shop?

    If you’re not going to get the rust out of the floors, then you should use some type of rust inhibitor - POR15 or something else. You’d preferably get rid of the rust, prime and paint.

    Converting to Telescoping Antenna?

    If your radio has an antenna trigger then you can wire into that. If not, you can wire it to a switch. The antenna instructions will tell you the mounting and wiring instructions. They do mount at the bottom with a bracket and you’re going to have find a place to mount the bracket.

    Converting to Telescoping Antenna?

    I recently installed the RetroSound auto antenna on my 65 Belvedere without removing the fender. Installed it thru the wheel well after removing the inner splash shield. Not sure your Charger has the same type of splash shield.

    Dustless Blasting for Undercoating?

    Needle scaler for undercoating works well. Dustless blasting the underside of the hood will pack that wet mess under the cross braces with no way to get it out. Strip the top side with a rotary strip tool or DA sander. Did my hood in a couple hours with Eastwood’s Surface Conditioning Tool...

    Trim clips etc prior to paint

    I wouldn’t. You want to coat all that bare metal before putting anything back on

    Trim clips etc prior to paint

    Kinda depends on how far you’re going. If you are stripping the car to a rolling shell and removing all the panels, doors, etc, then you probably want to remove everything- clips included. If you’re doing work with the car still assembled, then I don’t think it matters - unless you have rust and...

    MOPAR DOOR HINGE RESTORATION SERVICE

    anyone looking to rebuild their hinges, I highly recommend Leo. I didn’t think my hinges were bad, but I’m doing a total rebuild so I decided to do them. When I got them back I was surprised how much better they were. No play at all. Very satisfied and excellent work. Thanks Leo!!

    Body / Hinge sealants

    Fury - interesting info on the production line. Regarding bed liner, I did not use it, but I’ve seen threads here that say it’s been used. Search around and you’ll find them. Some folks swear by it and others don’t.

    Body / Hinge sealants

    Thanks- that’s a good suggestion. You can stick it where you want and it will stay in place

    Body / Hinge sealants

    There are two things I’m trying to identify and any help is appreciated. On my 65 Belvedere - 1) It looks like the factory used something that looks like plumbers putty in between the inner fenders and outer fenders at certain locations. The same putty is jammed into some of the corners at...

    Paint less Dent Repair Kit - NJ

    That would have been genius!! I welded it back over all the old spot weld locations, so hopefully it’s good. I guess I’ll see if I can mount the wipers now to confirm. Thanks for the tip.

    That may be worth a try to see if it pops back. Thanks

    Paint less Dent Repair Kit - NJ

    Here’s a better pic. That’s about 3/16” gap at it’s lowest point.

    Paint less Dent Repair Kit - NJ

    It’s a low spot from about 3” to left of the wiper pivot hole to about 2” to the right of it. If I fill it, I’m going to bury part of the pivot hole and that entire feature around it. I either need to pull the area up or leave it as is.
