    just finished my 1969 New Yorker

    Absolutely incredible! I used to think Fuselage C Bodies were fugly. Now cars like this have me doing a complete 180. I would love to own a 69-70 Chrysler ! This post really makes me want to finish my own 68 project similar to this! She's in pieces now but I'm waiting on my dashboard to be...

    Rust Treatment on my Fast Top 68

    Well as my life goes, things keep changing more and more! My son Freddie is now 6 months old, and my wife and I just moved into a BIG 2 bedroom apartment. Have to thank God for blessing my family constantly and giving us what we need. I've only done a little bit here and there to the car ever...

    Build Card received from Stellantis today :)

    It was still Iversen when I was a little kid, so sometimes in the Mid 2000's i'd say

    Build Card received from Stellantis today :)

    Very interesting bits of history and had no idea the car had ties to my hometown / where I still live! Makes me wonder about my NY. I looked up the VIN and it says it was built at Jefferson but it was sold new in Santa Barbara as far as I can tell... makes me wonder if it was really an LA...

    Favorite pic of your ride? Let’s see em!

    Please do! I’ve always tried to find pics of it but to no avail. Such a coincidence that people across the country and even the world knew of that place which was so close to me. The guy who was selling all these cars on craigslist lives the street over from where my car currently lives. He...

    Favorite pic of your ride? Let’s see em!

    My 68 NY is from Merkel. A guy close to me was liquidating his “collection” after he passed. These cars were so far gone. My 68 looked nice but was far from it

    Favorite pic of your ride? Let’s see em!

    Another one of my favorites Namely because she was still complete and not touched yet! Looks so weird on a trailer

    Touch up for chrome

    I second the polishing method. Maybe hit the bumper with a clay bar before for a better result too. There’s probably crud wedged into that scratch, then go forward with a metal polish. Should make it look a lot nicer.

    Power Steering Hoses

    Another option is Coast Clutch and Break in Santa Maria they can make all these hoses too I believe, not cheap but can be done! Probably what I will end up doing for my New Yorker once I get to that part

    Debating selling mine

    I guess it’s not terrible things, however just the harsh reality of being an adult working man providing for his family! Especially living in CA where it’s expensive. Just working hard and when im not, im home watching my son while my wife works (she works days and I work evenings 4-12) - It...

    Uphill climb to the bottom

    Going to have to get him some Mopar threads, for when he goes cruisin with his dad in the 68. Already going on 3 months old tomorrow! Trying my hardest not to blink so he doesn’t grow too fast

    Uphill climb to the bottom

    Despite the fact that I haven’t touched my 68 in many many months, I’ve still got a feeling I could get it driving by the end of the year! Not going to lie, im worried about letting the engine sit for so long not running as well as the water that was sitting inside the radiator which is...

    Debating selling mine

    Despite life COMPLETELY kicking my *** in every possible way in recent times - im glad to know my 68 is still sitting and waiting patiently for me to return working on her:) At times when I just wanted to sell it, I was thinking out of pure frustration and a bit of anger. Now, im glad I have...

    The moment my son knew he was a Mopar man

    Even a 7 week old baby can’t help but smile at the sight of a 68 Chrysler and the might of a 440 engine! I get sad watching him grow every day, knowing he won’t stay so small forever. At the same time, I can’t wait for him to tell me “Dad, can we drive that car today?” - and I’ll always say...

    What car would you own if it couldn’t be a C Body?

    We just had an AMAZING cruise night in my hometown during the Memorial Day weekend. Missed out on it this year since my son was only 3 weeks old! The crowd is way too big to take him, and the cars much too loud. There were 10’s of thousands at the cruise reportedly. Here’s some cool footage from...

    The Old Town Motorama in Clovis, Ca, May 18, 2024

    I’ve got a big soft spot for Montes. My brother (who is really my half brother, however we don’t view ourselves as such…) is 10 years older than me, and got a ‘70 when I was about 7 or 8. I thought it was the COOLEST car. My brother’s dad had a ‘70 (still does) - and now the rest of my brother’s...

    The Old Town Motorama in Clovis, Ca, May 18, 2024

    Man these are some cool shows! I’m from Santa Maria and mainly only ever see shows here. However, my wife and I will be attending the Good Guys show in August. My in laws live in Vacaville and they really wanted to take me to the show. Looking forward to that one!

    Little baby boy on the way!

    Thank you everyone!!! It’s such a strange (but in a good way) feeling. You never realize how much you can love something, but wow - I cried like a little girl when i first saw him LOL. Not afraid to admit it! As fun as it is to think of him older and doing what we all love with cars, I also...
