Its summer and I'm tinkering with the Beast :) Its exhaust this year; I got the exhaust manifolds fixed up and sealed up this spring, taking care of a leak that developed last summer just before she went into storage. Game plan was to do a dual exhaust this spring, but the manifold work held...

Looking for some advice, with any pictorial aids possible. I typically loathe videos, but in this instance I'd actually appreciate it! My cornering lights are out on my 1970 Newport, and I'm not sure how to swap the bulbs. (Came home last fall, been in storage, been tinkering off and on with...

Looks like I need a somewhat scarce doo-dad! Isn't that the way it always goes? Working my way through some "small" parts to scrounge up and I knew I was missing a cover or panel on my dome light in my 1970 Chrysler Newport; looks like this is a rarer one found on mostly E bodies? Whole unit...

Looking to color match the "green" Chrysler interior and hopefully dye and restore the color to my 69 Newport Custom seats :) I was quite pleased last fall; my 69 Custom frame had fallen apart and was stored for a long while, and I expected a lot more issues or damage from wildlife/rodents...

Been tinkering with the wiring on my 1970 Newport, finally got an expert opinion and after chasing everything down it sounds like we just have a dying fuse block. Anyone have one or have a lead on one?

Gearing up with a friend to redo the radio in my 1970 Chrysler Newport. What's in there is a more modern cassette player AM/FM radio, gives me like generic late 80s early 90s feel, which I was more or less indifferent to, I just wanted to get it working, but he got me onto some of the repro...

Bought my 70 Newport last fall, had it long enough to get her running with new carburetor and brakes and make a list of items to look into before storing it for the winter. Bigger issue was a lack of a working gas gauge, but the radio, odometer, and trip odometer weren't working either. On the...

Looking for the driver's side fender and both rear quarter panels for a 1969 Chrysler; for a Newport. Ideally NOS, used but nice works too, ready to go (can't say I'm equipped to tear down something myself) and somewhere near Michigan or willing to ship :) As of this point, availability of...

I'm a ways away from anything paint related, but for my project car I'm decoding the tags and seeing that what it shipped with and what she is today are a tad different; looks like we got a paint job, and lost an accent stripe in the process! I'm not seeing any great pics online, so I didn't...

I get to play this game now too!! I'm actually pretty excited! My 1969 Chrysler Newport Custom was my first car in HS back in the late 90s. The frame on it was shot by the late 00s, so I had it stored away, hoping I could do something with it some day. This past year we were able to pick up a...

First up: I am NOT terribly knowledgeable about the cars. But, I have a bit of a project. I have an old 1969 Newport Custom that was my first vehicle, but was stored improperly and isn't in restorable shape itself. I am able to salvage a number of elements from her though, so the plan ahs been...

I commented in my intro post a couple days ago I am NOT a car person, I'm a tech geek first and foremost so if this seems nuts I apologize, but I want to get my 69 Newport Custom back "on the road." She's basically going to be stripped down for all the parts I can salvage and those are going to...

Fair warning; I am not a car person so I won't be good on the lingo BUT I am looking to reassemble my original car, a 1969 Chrysler Newport Custom 2 door :) I'm looking for, in all likelihood, a project car with a good frame; 2 door, custom or no. My original wasn't stored properly and upon...
