On the front leading edge of the door glass is a flocked mylar seal that attaches to the door with two nylon H pins. This will seal the glass to the vent window frame and keeps the glass from vibrating as well inside the channel. NOS sets work much better than the reproductions, but they are...

I would have to assume that back in the day when these cars were going down the assembly line, the carpet or mats were shipped to the assembly plants on basically a mocked up floor pan. Imagine a bare floor pan with 50 carpet sets all laid on top of each other fresh out of the mold. They were...

ACC makes the rubber/vinyl floor covering for all of the old cars. They actually are able to use the same molds that they use to mold the carpet sets with to mold the rubber/vinyl covering. Our ACC rep and the ACC VP of sales are all Mopar guys. The ACC VP actually worked with Jim Kramer to...

Jet Hot Coatings seems to work the best. Good bit more expensive than the other finishes, but it will hold up and they coat both the inside and outside of the manifolds.

Usually if there is a pucker in a seal, there is too much material if there is nothing obstructing the fit of the seal around the perimeter of the frame. Not sure which brand of the vent seals that your using, but I have a good ideal.

If your looking to add a passenger side mirror and your driver side mirror is the manual style, then the passenger side is the same mirror. If your car is equipped with the remote mirror on the driver side, the passenger side mirror that is used would resemble the remote driver side mirror with...

I have been involved directly with the manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing Mopar restoration parts for over 28 years now. We are still very active in the industry and supply many of the vendors whether large or small and restoration shops with products. We started out specializing in...

From our experience, the Precision gaskets do not tend to pucker up as much as the Metro seals do.

The item in question is called windlace and for the particular application in question is not available. You can purchase a generic style of windlace available from most automotive upholstery shops. Due to the nature of the profile, it allows it to fit tight to the B-pillar. I would suggest...

The pads that Bob @ ABCMoparts is doing is the best that we have dealt with. They are factory pads that have been reconditioned. The grain pattern is not 100% correct, but most people will never know the difference. The big advantage with his pads are that they are the correct length...

The finish panel became standard issue for those cars built after January 1st, 1968. Prior built cars did not have the finish panel unless the Decor Group option was ordered.

We have just finished these up for the 70 B-Body disc brake metering valve covers. Almost impossible to find even in a used condition and if found, they are selling for hundreds of dollars. Correct in all details, this is one of those small detail items that many high end restorations are...

Just finished up is another one of those impossible detail items to find either in a used or NOS condition is this coil wire boot at the distributor. These detail items were lost when the original plug wires were removed back in the days and like many over the counter pieces, they were not 100%...

We have been using the dash pads as provided from ABC Moparts. The pads are built around the original metal cores and are the correct size. Graining is very close to the originals and they are the correct size. Some of the reproductions are not even the correct size and as others have...

I agree with the above in that the base was pretty much a gloss finish. Fortunately, I have original jacks that have never been out of the cars and the base will vary between a true gloss to a semi gloss. The silver finish can be closely duplicated by moving the jack assembly to one end and...

Be careful when buying some of the reproduction steering wheels. Some of them a couple of years ago had some casting issues that were being sold off as seconds, so ask on the quality and detailed pictures. The wheels are different between 69 and 70, very evident on the wood grain style sport...

Check in the "Help Section" at your local auto parts store. Lisle makes a inexpensive tool that works on most conventional styles and will help to prevent marring the cowl, the splines on the shaft or the arm itself. Arms are getting to become harder to find and the reproductions are not cheap...

Mike, thanks for the compliments. Awesome memory, I am pretty good at remembering things and events, but I am awful at remembering names. I had much rather lose a sale than have a disgruntled customer. These cars are huge investments from a financial, physical and emotional aspect and so many...

Mike, I am over on the Lift Off Hood site as well and post over there as well. I spoke to you over at Columbus at the Mopar Nats a number of years ago. This past year we had the 40 by 100 tent with the 71 Cuda convertible and 69 Big Block Dart in our tent if you should have attended and...

I basically grew up around these cars. As a kid hanging out at the local dealership and having friends fathers who were zone managers at that time for Chrysler, something was always new. Father bought a 69 Charger RT new which is still in the family. Now there is a 68 Hemi Road Runner and two...
