Yes, the author of that thread (IQ52) has done a number of low-CR builds and done A->B parts swaps and dyno'd the results. He's done excellent work, much to be admired that he's put it out there for us to see. While he does dispel some wive's-tale myths, there are 2 caveats: 1. I believe he...

And stay away from debt as much as possible. Many people are very smart about managing debt to get things they couldn't otherwise afford - except that the purchased item is worn out and/or no longer sparkles long before the debt is paid. So they move the debt to some other lender and keep...

I think that is no longer as true as it was in the past. Modern manufacturing process control and QC standards are easier to implement than ever, and those usually steer toward better quality and lower mfg cost. So much of a QC program can be harvested from the internet. If a company...

Back in the early 90s I worked at a bodyshop and we were doing rust repair on a mid-80s Mercedes. After spending a few hours finding more and more elusive bolts, the front fenders still woudl not budge. One of the older guys then told me that they are also glued on. It took a torch and...

Unfortunately, some folks think that 'rust' only applies to holes. You met one of those people.

You apparently have the internet, so you have all the market you need. As mentioned, join FBBO, where that year of Fury has a following and more-knowledgeable people (and more of them). And the more pictures, the better. Research will be your best friend.

I am amazed at how well the trunklid, all the chrome, the bumper lines, etc, all still line up perfectly on this one. Even though it doesn't really look like it, there are a lot of 'moving pieces' there. So many 65 Chryslers will have something out of alignment, a tweak in teh bumper that ruins...

So it 'sold' but then within a few days went back up with a relist at a higher price. Perhaps someone put in a higher bid but then retracted it, making the seller think it is worth a higher amount? I dunno, but when cars 'sell' and near-immediately relist, I am curious if there were shenanigans...

I went thru the IMDB list of his movies and counted - I've seen 29 of his movies. And I'm betting I've seen most of them 5 times or more. That Barber Shop scene is a good one, but the 'social club' scene where he grabs Michael Rooker by the nuts has to be in the top 10 list of...

My car had a period of summertime outdoor storage, I believe that was a factor.

Old thread but worth a reply for future researchers: The curved black bezel in the top radio indicates it is for 1970* Fury. That curve makes it a challenge to install an aftermarket radio in that location - to make it look right, anyway. *likely fits 69-73 Fury, and the Dodge years that used a...

I can't speak for @jmustian and what he used for hte R-W-B on his wheelcovers, but I used Testors small-bottle enamel on the quarterpanel emblems on my 300L and it didn't last long. I cannot say how long it lasted, but it needs done again. He said he clearcoated on his, and that probably makes...

I think this might be a car a member had FS awhile back? Based on the PA owner info, might've been a Don Rook car at some point? @tallzag @hergfest

Thanks for the followup! So was the whole goal to teh C-body rotor to gain that .270" more backspace? Was that the only reason for the C-body rotor vs the later B-rotor of the same diameter? Got a pic of that bearing adapter? I'm always curious about those. Regarding this: Cordoba / New...

@hergfest or @tallzag Is this a car that one of you guys got? I can't keep you 2 guys straight in my mind, but IIRC one of you bought a blue SF vert 4spd at an auction. Can't be too many floating around.

Monaco 500 has this for '65: Buckets up front, special bench seat rear, full-length console. Basketweave inserts on seat backs and doorpanels. Rear seat top has a divot for an emblem (many 65-68s C-body 2-drs did) but the bottom is unique in that it has a notched area that the console nests...

Lots of clever tricks in there, I hope I remember them if I ever need them!

Sellers two buzzy to take pics in daylite you'll hafta hit em up with any ???

Whilst researching 413 pistons (again), I had to reread this whole story. Updates?

How do I know what everyone has or hasn't seen on here? :) But no, there's no repository of pics of it. (nor of any of my cars, actually) There are a few scattered pics about, but nothing of the whole car, not for for-sale purposes. It's a nearly-rust-free car that reportedly was in CA...
