That's besides the point. These obviously aren't solid brass so ANY amount of polishing, with fine-grit sandpaper or compound, would likely have the same result. Bad advice; thanks for that.

I restored and reinstalled my nice gold Pentastar emblem. I degreased it and filled in the valleys with gloss black acrylic fine-tip paint pen. The next day, I sprayed 3 coats of Duplicolor Wheel Gloss Clearcoat to give it some protection before reinstalling it. I would've preferred to use...

I finished restoring this brass-colored Pentastar. Do NOT polish this type, if you have it. I got out some 3000-grit 3M sandpaper and gently wet-sanded one side of the emblem to see if I could buff out some of the minor scuffs, and burned through whatever finish this has. You can see the white...

I think the 5-spokes (old ones) in the first picture look better. That said, both those 5-spokes and Keystones (or some modern variant of the same designs) are done to death. I wouldn't put either on my Charger, but if those were my options, I'd choose the wheels in the first pic.

I dig those too, my family had a Volare back in the day. I'd love the chance to own another.

I really liked the body styling of the 1997 - 2004 Dakotas best of all the Dakotas. The slight changes in body lines in 2005 wasn't an improvement, IMO. 1997 was a bold styling year for the Dakota, borrowing the "big rig" front grille styling of the Ram to a smaller truck. I special-ordered a...

Ahh, armrest bases...I have 2 or 3 sets, but why do they all look like this? Since not all of us can afford expensive shiny plastic things to replace all the parts on our cars, I wanted to remove the chrome on these and paint them. I tried sanding off the chrome from one and what a righteous...

First pic, 2-leg clips: Second pic, single pin type:

It doesn't really matter for the front & rear lower pads. I've seen both used. But for the hard upper door pads, I've only seen the 2-leg clips.

Yikes. As a side note, have you ever noticed that after you got bald, you started hitting your head on everything?? When I still had hair, I don't remember banging my head hardly ever...except at rock concerts. Now it seems every few weeks, I get brained by something.

These: You align them in the holes in the inside door sheetmetal, then give the upper pads a good smack to jam them in. The upper door pads don't always cooperate. :)

That's exactly what my body man did, working on my Charger. In his words, "Use as much original metal as possible." Grendel lives...resurrection of a 1970 Charger 500

I pulled those clips from several '70 Charger door panels and like others said, I've seen both, and no reason or rhyme as to which was used where. The upper door pads, however, seemed to only use the 2-leg spring-style clips, from what I remember.

That's how it was for me, and why I wanted to post this. Now every time I see a notched spoiler, which is all the time, I get a chuckle out of it. Silly fad that reduces any benefit of having a spoiler in the first place and is only for looks. Not as bad as the giant Amazon wing you see tacked...

Both are gorgeous. Welcome from Alberta, Canada.

Wow. He might have a better chance selling the jack stands separately.

The men, neither.

SOO Agree. This just happened to me last week. I was driving to pick up some used but like new tires across town and ahead, I saw a man in his late 20's/early 30's approaching a corner where I was about to turn right. I had plenty of time to turn in front of him, but being nice and polite, I...

I'm in the other camp, but I'm clearly biased. The '70 is the most different of the second gen Chargers, and doing away with the vacuum headlight system was an improvement. :)

I watched that last night, too. They did a nice resto on it. What surprised me, seeing how many performance mods he did to the engine (6-pak intake & carbs, headers, etc.), was that it didn't have a Sure Grip rear end. When they did a burnout at the end of the video, only the passenger side tire...
