And have not found them, or a suitable substitute. They hold narrow trim strips outside of the windows on my 1965 Plymouth Fury III. They measure about 18mm long and 7mm wide. In the photo, you can see one intact, and another broken off with the peg inside the hole.

I had my 1965 Fury in the restoration shop for some work. While it was there, the reputable shop painted the valve covers and some sort of paint on the exhaust manifold before putting it back together After about a year of running it is peeling off in patches. I guess the only durable coating...

I needed to replace the driver's side mirror on my 1965 Plymouth Fury III, and would like to add a passenger side mirror at the same time. 1. I see plenty of reproduction mirrors advertised for sale for A and B bodies, but none for C bodies. Do all body styles share the same outside mirrors...

When I took my 1965 Plymouth Fury over to a mechanic's house last winter, everything worked more or less OK, except a rough idle. That was the thing I wanted worked on. The mechanic got busy doing other things, and the car was left sitting outside for about 9 months. When I picked it up, there...

These darn old V-8 engines (mine a 383) are always leaking oil. Most common place is out the valve covers. My valve cover gaskets were replaced not to long ago with cork gaskets. Do rubber gaskets seal appreciably better?

Doesn't show where it is in the shop manual. It is not in the same place as in my 1972 Newport. By the way, will those new electronic flasher modules work with both incandescent and LED bulbs? I would like to switch out to LED as the bulbs burn out.

My 1965 Fury has this part cracked, as can be seen in the photo. It leaks fluid. My mechanic cannot seem to find a good one anywhere. It would be expensive for a machinest to fabricate such a part from new metal. Torqueflite transmissions were so common! Surely used ones should be available from...

Believe it or not, I got the pristine original carpet in my Grandma's 65 Fury III. I would like to keep it that way. Only problem is the original floor mats have broken in pieces. Would be interested what cut-to-fit floor mats you all have found worthwhile. The old style front floor mats used...

Got a 1965 Fury with a 383 and single exhaust and I want to convert to stainless exhaust parts. I am tired or rusted clamps with nuts I cannot remove. Also I would like a fancier end to my tail pipe than just a plain old round oxidized tube. What are your favorite stainless exhaust vendors? It...

Got my 65 Fury with 383 back from restoration shop after a long time. (Delayed by COVID) I think the rear leaf springs were re-arched to bring the car to level. A new fuel level sender was put in. I had hopes that the fuel gauge would read accurately, but it was not to be. When the tank is full...

The OEM tail pipe hanger for my 1965 Fury III broke. The U clamp around the pipe was suspended by some sort of thick rubber. I know the chance of getting a similar new hanger is zilch. I can drill out the rivet and just put another piece of rubber in, if I could find the material they used. I...

Nothing gives me as much grief as restoration of interior plastic panels, especially when the sun degrades the surface to powder. I finally found a local guy that can skin the old plastic with a vinyl that has similar texture. But what color? The existing panels of my 1972 Newport are varying...

Plenty of people re-web seatbelts and repair retractors. Not many deal with the buckles. My Newport, like other cars of the early seventies, had a detachable shoulder harness. This allowed a person to wear only a lap belt, or the lap and should belts together. The two were attached by a...

My unfortunate 1965 Plymouth Fury has been marooned in a restoration shop for nearly two years during COVID. All mechanical work has been done on this freshly-painted car. I got a call today saying the owner wants it out of his shop, and I need to find a body shop to reinstall all the trim...

The kick panels and other plastic interior pieces in my 1972 Newport are faded. The surface of some pieces (exposed to sun) have flaked, giving it a different texture. Some of you do the refurb yourself, but I don't have the time. Are there any paint shops that specialize in this sort of plastic...

I finally got the instrument panel out of my 1972 Newport. Many connectors are badly cracked. Fortunately, I found a place in Canada that restores MOPAR wiring harnesses. Wow, what a job! Never completely removed a wiring harness before. Got it all disconnected from sockets in the cluster. One...

Removed the dash Heat-A/C control in my 1972 Newport today. Several things are broken- the fan switch, the vaccuum switches, and the A/C signal wire connector is cracked. Sure would like the lettering on the plastic panel recoated with silver anew. Is there any restoration shop that does a...

Started my most hated restoration task today on my 1972 Newport- disassembling the dash to repair and make modifications. First thing I noticed was cracked connectors on circuits drawing a lot of current- headlight switch and A/C compressor clutch switch, to name a couple. Can any of these...

I think that is what they are called. The piece of particle board behind the rear seat under the rear window. With all the holes for rear speakers, these are prone to warpage. It is easy enough to paint them, but straightening them out? Doesn't seem possible. My dream is to have a repro metal...

There are plenty of round mirrors for 1960s cars, but I can't find a vendor for a reproducation Newport passenger side mirror It was rectangular, not circular in shape. I have an old one but it is badly pitted, and cannot find anyone to restore. Sure wish repro mirros would give the option of...
