Just got these beauties in!! They are going to look SO good on the 68! I also got these factory style caps for 68 too… Though I feel that these are kinda ugly, at the same time they’re cool because they’re original and would give my car a period correct “stock” look. Everyone I’ve shown...

Well cruising season is brewing here in Southern California. There’s been car shows almost every week here in Santa Maria!! Lots of beautiful cars, still no Mopars. I did well and recently scored a set of disc brake hubcaps! While browsing Instagram I came across a Lowrider 77 New Yorker...

We are pretty much done with the brake lines up front !! Didn’t get the chance to take pics before I left, but they are where they need to be. Now the challenge is to find the right soft hose for the calipers. My New Yorker was originally a Drum / Drum car but I’ve since upgraded to a ‘73 style...

I feel like I’m beginning to see the light at the end of this very long tunnel finally. She’s starting to come together! Currently my dash is away and getting re-wired. More than likely going to replace the dated Mopar fuse block with a modern “blade” style fuse block. It’d make the car a lot...

As I’m starting to regain momentum on my neglected 68, I’ve shifted focus to (in my opinion) the most IMPORTANT system of them all - the braking system. I was lucky enough to score a set of 72 disc brakes for my car and they’ve been connected almost 2 years now. However, now that it’s time to...

Well 3 years ago when I pulled the motor on Nebula (believe it or not my car has a name LOL) I put a box together full of engine parts such as all the brackets and pulleys etc etc. For the LIFE of me I can’t seem to find a few small pieces and it’s driving me nuts. I’m about to mock up the...

So I’m in the final stages of assembly for my NY’er heater box! I know… I’ve lagged it for a long time but now I’m finally determined to get this Lowrider 68 going! I’m looking at being able to make the car move under its own power by summer at the very least. I got sent back to night shift...

Well, as I’ve been inactive on the forums, I have been watching from afar. I am genuinely trying to find any time here and there to work on my 68. She’s sitting pretty, just waiting to be driven again. I know it will happen! I’m also excited to know I’ll have little hands to help build this...

I finally decided to take action and bring my old man along for a Saturday of work on the 68 Chrysler. Funny thing is my old man to many of you is probably old enough to be some of your sons LOL. (He was born in ‘77, me in ‘01) Anyways, I think having him there really helped me get the ball...

Call me crazy, but I guess sometimes it’s nice to embrace modern convenience and perhaps even more practical technology than the aging technology of yesteryear. I guess what I’m saying is, a guy put an idea into my head that actually makes sense and sounds pretty cool if done properly. Someone...

I know the title doesn’t make sense, but hear me out. We are redoing the entire wiring system on the 68 New Yorker. I’ve completely omitted the original ammeter and had the cluster itself rebuilt with a voltmeter in place that functions, looks and reads like the original. It was a complete...

Here’s what a NY looks like after sitting for a year with no progress The good thing about tackling the wiring now is that the car is completely gutted to the core. I got lucky and have a friend coming by to tackle the job. He’s starting out with the dashboard since that is the easiest...

Well fellas, it’s been a great run these past 4 years now. I never thought that this far into my build I still wouldn’t have driven it yet! After a lot of thought and contemplation I’ve decided I can’t do everything by myself. I’ve now decided to search for helping hands and folks who have...

As 2023 comes to a close, I must lament the fact that my 68 looks pretty much the same way it did exactly a year ago. Only, a lot more dusty and crusty from sitting. 2023 was a wild and busy year! When I got the new job at Okonite in January - it sent me in a downward spiral in terms of having...

No, I am never going to swap out the 440 in my New Yorker. BUT! After driving my Ram for some time, I’ve wondered if anyone’s ever put a Magnum into an old C. Seems like the Magnum V8 is to us Mopar guys what the LS is to GM guys. As a Mopar guy - I do feel jealous at times of what the GM guys...

I’ve been needing some inspiration to get my a** back to my New Yorker / 300. I’ve got good news, although I’ve been terribly busy as a newlywed with a new job - I may have found a solution to my halted project. The gent who rebuilt my 440 is a very respected man in my community and has helped...

I’ve been tired of keeping up with the payments and upkeep of the newer Silverado I’ve had for almost 2 years. Decided to bite the bullet and sell it. Wised up and bought a Dodge yesterday! She’s a 01 Ram Laramie SLT. 5.9 Magnum, 3.21 rear. Not sure if it’s the 42re or 46re trans. I know this...

I have a SOLID 68 New Yorker front clip. Hood, Bumper + Brackets, Fenders, Grille as well as the Grill Support / Tiebar. Give me $1,200 for everything or we can make a deal on individual parts if needed. Everything is large so I prefer local pickup. Wheel wells not included. Have the hood trim...

Title is self explanatory. I cleaned out a friends garage who had the motherlode of 67-68 Chrysler Interior parts. There’s New Yorker, Newport and 300 stuff in here. Let me know if you’re interested in anything. Or if you’d even like to purchase everything whole, that can work too… I’d really...

Over the years of building my 68 Chrysler, I’ve had SO many different visions and ideas. As I’ve gotten just a little older and have a better appreciation for these cars, I find myself wanting something almost stock still but not quite. The move now is converting the shell of my New Yorker...
