How does one re-finish the metal portion of a true Mopar Tuff Wheel? Thank you.

Since my parents new/special order 1971 Road Runner was factory-equipped with all the basic gauges, I added a small tewart Warner vacuum gauge and oil temperature gauge (both mechanical I believe). I placed them in the left side of the dash applique (see sample foto) which seemed like the...

With new foam in the door panels, the only "tool" I had handy was this paint can opener and brute strength. I got it started, now it won't move. I hope it's not cross threaded already. I guess I should make some kind of special tool before I destroy something. PS I had to pull hard on the...

... or they will come out wrinkled. Now I have to ask, when I do the visors over again, what color should they be? With the original tawny gold they were gold, with the first blue repaint they were blue, and with the current Bahama Yellow and two-toned interior I can't decide.

I have already replaced the flimsy fiberboard/cardboard glove box, rear package shelf, and trunk divider on my '72 SSP with stainless steel fabricated replacements. Now it's on to the sun visors. I decided to perforate them to lighten up the 18 gauge weight some.

I should have used a SEM product on my plastic door panels, but a couple of years ago the Rust-Oleum label claimed for plastic too. Today the panels were off and needed very minor touch-up on the bottom edge. I used blue masking tape on the plastic ridge molded into the panel near the bottom...

Re: '72 SSP I cleaned up my seat belts, left them extended for a couple of days to make sure they were good and dry. Sprayed a little WD-40 inside the housing that locks them up and retracts them. Installed one male ended one (with the plastic housing and retractor) in the rear passenger side...

Working on a '72 SSP and time to install rear seat belts. On the right and left seating positions the male end comes up from the outside (window position). However, the middle seat position can have the male end on either the right or left hand side, depending on how one decides to bolt the...

Is the correct installation of seat belts with only the bolt passing through the seat belts or did the factory use a washer either on top of belts or below belts? Thank you.

I wonder if the E-Body hood release cable offered by Classic Industries will fit a '72 BBody. The one I already purchased from Classic for a BBody does not have the loop end, but a pin end. There is a note on the Classic website that the BBody cable does not feature a loop end (not sure if that...

Just added the third piece of Alder wood to my '72 SSP project vehicle, a 7" by 10" by 1 1/2" block to raise the Optima battery to secure it better with the factory hold down (probably only temporary, still looking for the plastic thing that came with the Optima when purchased). Previously...

I don't mean after having sat down with a screwdriver in your pocket, i mean from daily wear and tear getting in and out so many times (and sun damage, of course). The factory driver's seat in my '72 Satellite Sebring Plus was totally wasted when I puchased it three years ago. Even the rear...

RE: 1972 Satellite Sebring Plus I have some extra headliner fabric I suppose was targeted for the visors. After removing the old visor fabric, I find a few problems. #1 One visor is missing a small corner of the fiberboard #2 One visor is very difficult to turn on its axis rod, even after WD40...

My Mexican upholstery guy charged $75.00 US funds to restore the four interior panels of my '72 SSP (parts and labor). I gave him a foto of a Road Runner door so he could try to duplicate it (more or less). When I arrived home with the finished panels, I took some fotos and found the driver and...

I could see trying to remove the back seat working alone was not effective. I did not have enough strength/leverage to push in/push down/pull up all at the same time. I brought out the "tool" I had used previously to install the "u" shaped clip that holds the trunk lock cylinder in place. I...

It's time to replace the door panels and the inner whisker things that go up against the window glass. I am getting a little aprehensive about the installation. The outer door whiskers just screwed on, these inner ones don't. I have a package of loose staples that came with the product. Now...

The plastic "moisture barrier" I tried to affix to the inside of the door panels fell off. I guess by the time I had a silicone bead laid all around the inside of the door, it must have skimmed over and not stuck very well to the plastic. I am going to use some old-fashioned rope seal on my...

The foam on both Tuff wheels I purchased have seen better days. The tuff measures approx. 14.5 inches in diameter. The aftermarket padded covers fit "up to" 15.5". Anybody have experience putting one on? Too loose, just right? Thank you.

The ThermoTec foil topped butyl liner I just installed on the floorboard is very thin material. Anyone using some old school padding between that kind of "insulation" and the carpet? Thank you.

Want to try out a tuff wheel I recently purchased, but of course, the rubber is deteriorated. What kind of wraps do you recommend while I save up for a professional restoration? Thank you.
