    NOT MINE ‘68 Polara Convertible. Did we/I miss this? Nov 2023

    I know this has sold some time ago, but wanted to put it out here for future reference if it comes up again. At one time I said that If I got another, it would be a convertible and match my current 2dr HT I missed this one. Not sure I was a buyer at $26,000 unless it was perfect. Vin...

    Parts cleaners - Ultrasonic, vibratory & solvent-experience welcome.

    I have used many parts cleaning/ restoration methods over the years. I seem to spend a lot of time cleaning parts and trying to make them new again. I also dabble in cad / zinc replating (another time suck for a different thread). I have always used solvent for internal engine and transmission...

    Parts washing solvent, petroleum or Water based?

    I have always had a parts washing solvent tank. To be fair it is only used in spurts and then sits for a few years. I have typically used petroleum based solvents. I did try the water based concentrate type part way through my car restoration but didn’t like it as it would flash rust. On the...

    Hobby Upholstery shop setup and projects

    Many of you know that I tend to jump into projects after doing a little research and try to re-create or learn new things. One of the things that I jumped headfirst into was upholstery. I am by no means an expert and I don’t think I am quick enough yet to do a project for someone beyond a...

    Any members in Somerset, PA. May need the lay of the land

    I have a family member passing through that had some car issues (lost a wheel). I think we have it covered, but in case we run into any other issues the lay of the lab may be helpful. They are Ok but a little shaken. The tow truck driver and the owner of the shop they towed it to have been...

    Fuel line-steel to rubber hose bubble or barb -how to?

    What type of tool do I need to re create the rubber hose barb on a steel fuel line? I do searches but most cover the double flair secured with a threaded fitting. This is what I want to re-create. This kit won’t do it. I am afraid that the tool I need is over $150. But I don’t get a good...

    After 34 years road-trip with the Polara back to Montana

    Just about 34 years ago I drove the ‘68 Polara from Ft. Benton, MT to Loveland, CO. It sat in Colorado for about 20 years before I hauled it back to ND for the restoration. (Restoration thread link at the bottom of my signature). Now I am on my way from ND to the middle of Montana driving the...

    Can you search just for threads that you or someone else is the author?

    Is it possible to search just the threads started by yourself or another author? From time to time I recall I started a thread about something, but can't always find it. I would like to search by my name to just see the threads I started. Thanks

    I need/ want to increase my welding skills

    A number of years ago (35). I took quite a few welding classes through high school and college. I wasn’t an expert but became pretty efficient with an arc welder (I believe they are called stick welders these days) and oxy acetylene torch. You don’t know how many things I welded with a metal...

    ‘74 Ramcharger hub caps? Or other?

    Helping clean out the shop on our family farm and ran across these 15” hubcaps. They say Dodge Division on the center caps. They are not from my ‘68 Polara, or our ‘73 Newport, so the only thing that I can think of is they were from our ‘74 RamCharger. If I am looking at this internet...

    Casselton ND Carshow

    Went again to a smaller town car show about 30 miles out of Fargo. I like these smaller town shows as there are some interesting things hiding out there in the wild. 400 cars? And only 4 c-bodies including mine. I love the 67 Imperial convertible (with power vent windows). Same guy has a 64 300K...

    I found my passenger side front seat belt retractor has been over wound kinking the spring. Not looking to pay $50 for an NOS on e-bay. If anyone has a spare laying around I would be interested.

    I went to start my car this evening and as soon as I started it, the starter stayed engaged. As soon as I turn power of it continues to crank. As soon as I disconnect the battery the starter stops and the starter disengages. If I re-connect the battery, everything is back to normal. Hit the...
