    found a big mopar obsolete parts vendor in ga

    I actually went there about 5 years ago on my way from Columbus, OH back home to Tampa. Wow, what a trip that place was. I walked the grounds where there are some 600 Mopars sitting out there. Incredible. I was looking for a trim piece for my '67 Newport Custom. The guy looks it up on...

    What was the reasoning/decision behind Chrysler's inverted C pillars?

    My post posted at 4:13. Coincidence? Since this photo was taken (by a buddy of a friend of mine who has a nice 66 300), I have adjusted the stance to bring the front end up a bit, like about 3/4". The young guy who rebuilt the front end is a diehard C-body guy, and a great mechanic, but...

    What was the reasoning/decision behind Chrysler's inverted C pillars?

    It seems to me that there are basically only 3 ways to do it: parallel lines; wider at the top/narrower at the bottom; and narrower at the top/ wider at the bottom. What else is there? Yes, the fasttop is a slight variation on the theme of wider at the bottom, and it even has a nod to the...

    Yeah, I know they're correct. I just was surprised nobody mentioned them.

    In the garage at the new house

    Since when are accidents the fault of 60-something classic car owners who have a ton of money invested in a nice classic car? It's the 30-something I-phone addicted millennial idiots who will rearend your classic car...twice! Ask me how I know!

    Spring is here! (67NY'er)

    Thank you Imperialist67. Yes, I believe that the designers of these cars (Bill Mitchell, Ned Nichols, Elwood Engel, Virgil Exner et. al.) were at the top of their game when these cars were produced. They were the cream of the crop in their field, and that's why they were in charge of...

    Too many PMs???

    Hey Joey, it seems that the forum thinks I've posted too many PMs (15, ooooh, so many over 5+ years!), and now it has cut me off with no way to rectify the situatIion. What is the deal??? It's a forum on C-Body Chryslers (the unloved stepchild of all Chrysler products), so Jesus it's a miracle...

    With my 65 NYer town sedan, and my 67 Newport custom fasttop, I got my C-bodies covered. But I'd be glad to lend a hand on this one if needed.

    65 New Yorker, first project car

    I recall when I got my 65 NYer 3 years ago, the cooling system was somewhat clogged up and rusty. I recall I had a weeping freeze plug, so I put the car on the lift and banged out the bad freeze plug by hammering a screwdriver into the plug and prying it out. I remember there was another...

    Steering wheel

    Somebody wanted to charge you $3000 to restore it? So glad you didn't opt for some bad-looking aftermarket steering wheel. Seems like SO many guys swap out the cool OEM wheel. I would never do that.

    Tips for a young guy? What’s next?

    How to do these things affordably. Hmmmm. Well, learn how to do them (Youtube is helpful, and trial and error, and asking people who know) and buy the tools and do it yourself!
