    Pressure build up in radiator

    Sounds likely that it is a blown head gasket. Check the oil and plugs for signs of water. A compression test should narrow down where the problem is.

    Replacing my convertible top - 1965 Chrysler

    66 sport fury strangeness

    I had a 66 Sport Fury a while back and I can definitely say that the door trim was straight up and down, not angled. I kind of like the angled mounting, though. I don't recall how the front fender emblems were arranged.
