    68 Newport, doing a vinyl wrap. My progress

    It's holding up pretty good. I keep it garaged and clean. Sometimes a hassle to get the swirl marks out of that finish when I use a cleaner but think that's any car, just giving it that final clean buffing. No complaints and I feel I'll get a few more years out of it easily. People all the time...

    Other than a couple rookie mistakes the wrap came out surprisingly good. I did the whole thing. Was a ton of effort though. Here is a pic.

    68 Newport, doing a vinyl wrap. My progress

    On a basic level just clean well and clean with alcohol. Any and all imperfections show through. I had a lot of rock chips and imperfections. I tried to sand them some but to no avail. You can see it all but looks good from far.

    68 Newport, doing a vinyl wrap. My progress

    So update. I blew a gasket and couldn't finish till this last weekend. It's a standard 3m color I can easily reorder. I have 2 little places left to finish but all the big work is done. There are some rookie mistakes I just couldn't overcome and will have to do some patch work. You can see the...

    68 Newport, doing a vinyl wrap. My progress

    Wrapping my Newport. About 900 bucks in supplies. Almost done, have to order 2 more panels worth, 16 feet. Few rookie mistakes I just gotta deal with but nothing completely horrible. Some wrinkles in small places I'm not happy about. Took door handles and mirrors off and badging. Did some body...

    I got the door handles off. Was relatively easy, just taking that whole door panel off is a pain. Here is my son helping.

    I'm taking the interior door panel off tomo to take the mirror and door handle off for a vinyl wrap job. Is it easy to take the door handle off and get it back on tightly like it is now?

    Can i plastidip my engine Bay?

    Ok guys. Update....I got a newer Chrysler specific spray paint from the auto store and started doing the refresh. Its not too far from what I had, what I had was just crazy faded. I'm about a third done, I'll need to go buy more and finish cleaning before I get the next areas done but here is my...

    Can i plastidip my engine Bay?

    I most definitely will not paint any wiring. I'll mask and move some stuff as I can. There won't be a noticeable amount of overspray.. I just can't leave it as it is. I get antsy wanting to do little things to freshen it up and can't leave the idea alone.

    Need to find 68 newport windshield gasket that accepts chrome

    I talked to murry park. He said the shop didn't know what they were talking about and that the chrome is separate from the gasket. But safe lite now says they don't have any gasket available period nationwide so I gotta call my insurance

    Need to find 68 newport windshield gasket that accepts chrome

    Trying to get my windshield replaced through insurance. Naturally there is always a hitch for me. Could use a new windshield gasket but the only ones they can provide won't accept the chrome I have around the windshield. They said they can use whatever I want to buy if I bring it in, they just...
