The cars ahead of you and behind you are gone, giving you ample room to leave the spot. Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, it seems the other cars left a little something: your bumpers have been SCRATCHED, KNICKED, DENTED. For such a small cosmetic blemish, getting it fixed turns out to be as costly as a full on-repair of something on your car. Beginning around 1973, the jacks became GM-specific, with a small hook protrusion in the jack that mated to a vertical slot in the car’s bumper. They worked great until the bumper inevitably rusted out three years after you bought the car. Find a Classic Ford at BestRide.coms.

This page is a guide to identifying Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth jacks and jack hooks. This will help you identify the proper jack parts for your particular car or parts you may have laying around. Note that this page only covers up through 1971 models. After that, Chrysler went to a universal jack type that had a hook that fit into a slot in the bumper. I am not an expert, I have gathered this information from several sources and some of it may not be correct, please feel free to send corrections. I'm also looking for pictures to fill the holes in the list.
This will be a growing page as I gather more information and photos. If you have anything to contribute, feel free to contact me at

o First find a diecast body that has the wheelbase you want or an existing TJET body you want to reproduce.
o There are two ways for the 1st step. Some people grind out and mount the diecast to a TJET first and make the inside mold ( also called male mold) and some people make the outside mold (also called female mold) first. I make the outside mold first as I want to make the resin body as thin as I can.
o So you have the trusty diecast car in your hand. Look at it close if the bumpers are molded to the body great if they are separate pieces great but if they are molded into the bottom of the car you have to do the 1st step a little different. If the bumpers are molded to the body or separate pieces then drill the two rivets out on the bottom of the car and remove everything except the glass and if separate the bumpers. If the bumpers are molded into the bottom of the car take your trusty Dremel tool and cutting disk and cut through the bottom of the diecast just behind the front rivet and in front of the rear rivet. Then remove everything except the glass.
o Now fill the entire inside of the diecast with Kleen Klay, it should be squishing out the side windows, and wheel wells and at least 1/4 inch below the bottom of the body. Now clean up the side windows making sure they are indented (clay is pushed in from the side of car), indent the wheel wells and clean up the edges where the clas meets the front and rear bumpers and side of car.
o Now polish up the car and remove all fingerprints etc.
o I then place the car on a flat piece of plastic. I use old CD cases, Ziplock top that I have cut etc, just a thin piece of plastic. I then take a small mold box with the bottom cut out of it over the car and tape the edges of the box where they meet the flat plastic.
o I then mix up enough silicone to fill the box which is normally one bathroom cup filled 3/4 with part A and one bathroom cup filled 3/4 with Part B and mix. I use Smooth-on's OOMA 25.
o Come back after 90 mins and remove the Mold from the box and the car from the mold
o I then slosh cast this mold to get a shell to mount posts to and reinsert into outer mold to make the inner mold. I coat the mold with a light dusting of Baby Powder. I then heat the mold for 1:30 1:45 mins in the microwave. I mix up 1/4 teaspoon of Part A and Part B of resin. I pour it in the mold and by tilting the mold back and forth and side-to-side I keep the resin flowing covering all the body. When the resin gets as thick as molasses and almost ready to set up I tilt the mold forward and turn upside down with the front of the mold (front of body) tilted down slightly.
o I remove the body clean it up, remove the windows I want to remove and add body mounting posts.
o The first bodies I made, I used JW's body mounting posts and epoxied them in. I now use some of my older inside molds and pour resin into their body post cavities and make resin posts that I glue to the body using resin. I like these better as they are easier to work with, i.e, grind down.
o After I have the body post on, drilled and mounted, I will use this body to go back inside the mold. I put tooth picks in the body post screw holes. I cover the outside mold with vaseline every place the inside mold silicone might touch the outside mold when its poured. Silicon sticks to silicone.
o I then place the mold box on the top of the outside mold as shown here.
o Then I mix up some OOMA 25 and pour in the inside.
o Then, I carefully pull the molds apart.
o Clean all the vaseline off both molds, and I'm ready for my first pour. I use 1/2 teaspoon of Part A and Part B of resin. I use Smooth-on's 300 and 320 as well as MicroMarks EasyFlo 300 and Bare-metal foils Poly S. For some reason I always miss a little of the vaseline but you will see where it is by looking at your first casting it will show on the surface anywhere you missed the vaseline.
o Get Smooth-ons Starter kit, it has everything except the Kleen Klay which I get from Micro Mark.
o I use plastic Bathroom Cups and Cheap plastic measuring spoon sets from Walmart. I swirl the parts A and B around in the cup to mix it. I use plastic bottles from the Candy making Hobby section of Walmart these are used for applying chocolate and have red caps to close them. I pour the parts A and B of the resin into their own bottle, this makes it very easy to pour and measure, they are cheap enough that I just throw them away and buy new ones when I run out. The molding box I got from my local Hobby shop. A lot of guys use Leggos for molding boxes.
o Now what is different for 1/43rd is I make the mold box out of Foamboard and Hot glue except for on end of the mold box and I use fun tac (the sticky stuff you use to hang kids drawings on the wall). I do this so I can more easily remove the mold and not tear up the box. However when I did the Willy's the box I had was not tall enough I found a small cardboard box that would work and put plastic wrap in the box then put the diecast then poured the silicone.
o In the pictures above, you see two tooth picks sticking out of the mounting posts I now glue tooth picks to the bottom edge of the car on each side behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels, also I glue thee to the front and rear of the body, with one in the middle and the other two right where the bumpers start to bend. These are to keep the air bubbles from forming along the bottom side edges and on the front and rear. I did not do this with the GT40 and regretted it. All the bodies I have done since have the extra air vents. Also on the Artin Monte Carlo I added a vent to the piece that rides on the rear axle, one on the front of each support. I wish now I would have added two: one at the highpoint on each support. I use approximately two bathroom cups full of Part A and two cups of Part B of the silicone to make the outside and 1 3/4 Cup each for the inside mold. It takes a tablespoon of part A and a tablespoon of Part B of resin to make a body
