My wife swayed me to the Mopar dark side. She’s always been a fan of only one specific car, the Plymouth Cuda. She now has a very original and solid ‘74. That field car in the pic above is a ‘73...

Some progress pics. The deck filler fit nicely by itself. I’ll have to double check who stamped it but it seemed spot on.

As expected the window arch stamped into the package shelf was wrong. ...

Just like North posted, I do the same. Bend the barbs out a little and toss a dab of some adhesive in there before pushing the barbs back in. I used PC-7 epoxy last time.

To me there is no comparison. The purple vs other colors, off brands, or even the 3M Clean & Strip XT’ (dark purple/black) discs, the 36g purple bristles fill a void for me that the others can’t.

Yep I’ve tried vinegar too. The flash rust following it just always seems so much more instant and aggressive than other options I’ve tried.

This area was a huge mess hidden under thick filler. I believe it was the rearmost fastener for the vinyl top trim. Maybe they stripped the screw, pulled on it till it came off, then hit all the...

Really great info posted so far. I’m kind of in the same mindset as Sirrotica. First thing I’d do is start stripping the body down to bare metal. You’ll have a better idea what you’re going to...
