Keep-a-goin' JW, you'll get there! Cheers

Thanks JW, I had the front seat re-upholstered, and the 727 had to be rebuilt. I farmed those two tasks out. I rebuilt the brake system completely. Also replaced all hoses, wires, pumps, radiator, master cylinder, carb rebuild, tune up, and tires. But that's stuff I did myself and enjoyed...

Correction Fury Fan..."stole" is MY '67 Newport Custom, bought back in 2019 for $1250!

I'll use a term the kids use these days......keep it "orige". I'm not a fan of customizing cars, I prefer them as they came from the factory. The guys who designed these American cars (Elwood Engel, Virgil Exner, Harley Earl, Bill Mitchell, Ned Nichols, Larry Shinoda, Dick Teague, Bunkie...

I wonder why there was no "Newport Custom" script on the c-pillar of your wife's car. The photos of the car being prepped show that there weren't any holes in the pillar for the emblem. Interesting.

Wow these German guys have some really nice cars. Now my wife wants to go next year. She danced with the Hamburg Ballet company in the 80s.

Did you intentionally upload the post t 4:40? I hope your experience with BaT was better than mine.

Thanks gents as always. I plan to simply replace the left rear shackle and leave it at that. I ordered one from Parts Geek, but it was incorrect. THEN, I left hot Tampa with my wife for a 3-week vacation to northern California. Here's a shot from a breakfast place we ate at in San Francisco...

The springs seem good. The car actually rides high in the back.

Thanks guys for the good advice.

Parts Geek had the shackle, $25, with shipping and tax it totaled $38.

Thank you John. Should be pretty easy with my lift!

Truth be told, it's just the bushings on one of the rear shackles that's bad. I'm seeing them on ebay for around $33.

Hello fellas, the bushings on my leaf springs (67 Newport Custom Fasttop) need to be replaced. I called the shop that did my NYer front end, and the VERY knowledgeable C-body guy there advises just to get new springs. He says there would be too many hours getting the old bushings out, and...

There is set of '62 Chrysler tail lights on Facebook Marketplace out of Brooksville, FL (north of Tampa) for $200. The set looks pretty good, the red lenses appear to be in good shape. I'm just alerting my C-body brothers of this, in case somebody needs these tail lights. I'm not too good at...

I sent Adam an email thanking him for featuring my '65 6-window!!

In your face SMS!!

I'm more horrified at your sentence structure and punctuation skills.

Oooh, the rare "white" taillights! It looks like a really nice car. 4-door hardtop flavor!

I'd tell you how I aligned my '67 Newport, which tracks perfectly these last five years, with no uneven tire wear, but surely some jackwagon would raise a fuss and tell me I'm wrong. Remember when I successfully touched up the bad spots on the black carpet with a wide Sharpie marker?
