    Headliner How To

    Insulation is glued to the roof. Everything that is glued is done with spray adhesive - like contact cement. The worst part is if you have headliner material with the pin holes in it - the adhesive will show in the pin holes. There is a knack to installing headliners - not a job for the faint of...

    Window whiskers

    Those seals do not seal out water. It would have been quite obvious if or when you installed them. There is no seal between the strip and the door so water easily seeps through there and the seal to the window is dependant on how close the window glass is to the door when the frames are...

    Rotisserie question 1968 superbee

    I built rotisseries for the past 17 years - over 300 of them for all makes an models. I didn't mount all those vehicles personally but had enough feed back from customers to know. If you support a body at both ends, its gonna move in the middle - guaranteed. Any customer who told me they planned...

    Changing Fuel Tank From Road Runner to Charger Style

    To each his own. Personally I think the Charger is the only car that suits the flip-top filler. I once considered that mod and even had all the parts - then thought better of it. If filling it bothered me that much I'd go the fuel cell route. Then it clears up some space to put mufflers !!

    Clear and di-chromate zinc plating

    To each his own and yes, zinc is more original BUT … zinc actually “rusts” - its that white powder that develops over time. Also, “electroplating” does not provide complete and even coverage on complex parts - you’ll notice some dull ares. So with all that said, if you don’t care about 100%...

    Textured refinishing Dash and steering columns

    I'm guessing the texture additive is a powder, correct? Where did you find the mix ratio, additive to paint ??

    Rear cross member alignment.

    I made those dimples into mine ... sliced the flange where they needed to be then body-hammered them into shape then welded up the slices and massaged the welds with various grinders, etc.. You couldn't tell when I was done. But its annoying that the best repro parts on the market aren't so...

    Rear cross member alignment.

    There are a couple issues with the repop crossmembers ... The main one is the top lip or flange is half the width of the original. Won't be an issue for you since you're replacing all the sheet metal BUT if you were only replacing that piece, it wouldn't cover the holes made when you drill out...
