I feel like I’m beginning to see the light at the end of this very long tunnel finally. She’s starting to come together! Currently my dash is away and getting re-wired. More than likely going to replace the dated Mopar fuse block with a modern “blade” style fuse block. It’d make the car a lot...

As 2023 comes to a close, I must lament the fact that my 68 looks pretty much the same way it did exactly a year ago. Only, a lot more dusty and crusty from sitting. 2023 was a wild and busy year! When I got the new job at Okonite in January - it sent me in a downward spiral in terms of having...

I’ve been a little quiet on the forums, life has been a bit of a whirlwind the last month! Unfortunately my uncle (mom’s brother) passed away so young at only 47. He was an absolute car nut himself, however he didn’t own any classics besides his cherished 1974 Super Beetle. The family couldn’t...

You know, people always talk about CALIFORNIA CARS being the rust free ones. Unfortunately mine (which has always been a CA car from what we know) had some pretty bad rust in multiple areas. Granted, sitting outside for 40 years in the desert did it no good. When I say desert, I don’t mean a...

Not to brag or anything… but I think this car is beginning to look pretty DANG GOOD if I’d say so myself! Very proud of the progress that’s been taking place on this 68. A striking difference now versus how it looked when I bought it. I decided to do a stock rebuild on the 440, since this...

A thought came to me and I wondered, has anyone ever put the "ejector seat" style interior door handles on a 68?! I absolutely love the design. If I'm not mistaken, the door frame is the exact same from 65-68? What would I need to make this cool custom swap? I assume the arm rest, handle and...

The 68 2DHT New Yorker is completely apart as a lot of you know! Windows removed, weather stripping removed since we had to unscrew the roof rail. All rubber on this car was absolutely thrashed. The weatherstripping was just falling apart anyway I tried to move it. A quick search online for cat...

I’ve been meaning to post about this; better late than never eh? In August I sent out my original instrument cluster to be restored by Redline Gauge. In photos it doesn’t look bad, but we have to remember that this came out of a car that was a rat hotel for nearly 40 years! The plastic cover...

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else do this job here on the forums before! I am sure most of you are familiar with me and my build by now, but if not - here’s a little background. Early 2020, I was 18 about to be 19 and bought my very first old car… a ‘68 New Yorker...

Some of you may or may not recognize me from my other threads, so I’ll give a quick introduction of myself and a background on my car! I’m 20 years old born and raised on California’s gorgeous Central Coast in the 805. I grew up around a lot of old cars and always loved them. When I was 18...
