Thanks! Where did you find this truck mat pictured? Grandma's Fury was always garaged, and only used for hair salon visits, flower arranging classes, and grocery shopping. Grandpa drove his 63 Chyrsler 300 everywhere else they went. Too bad my dad let the 300 go. But I kept the Fury garaged...

Believe it or not, I got the pristine original carpet in my Grandma's 65 Fury III. I would like to keep it that way. Only problem is the original floor mats have broken in pieces. Would be interested what cut-to-fit floor mats you all have found worthwhile. The old style front floor mats used...

Sorry I missed your post, Jet. I am in more trouble than ever. The guy I sent my belts to for overhaul has disappeared. Now I am minus the belts. Someone on the Pinto forum was soliciting intact plastic pieces to scan to reproduce via 3D printing. I can understand how this could be done on...

I am also looking for a seat cover fabricator. But I spent $2000 reupholstering my front seat and want people to be able to see it at a meet? Are those covers easy to remove? One shop fabricate old-fashioned plastic covers. But man, I remember as a child how hot they were to my legs in the...

Thanks for the good information, everyone. My panels are not so bad they they have cracked, fortunately. It would be easy enough to pain, if I could restore the texture. I am a dentist. Perhaps I could make a mold of the places with undamaged texture, and try some if the Ronseal wood...

The kick panels and other plastic interior pieces in my 1972 Newport are faded. The surface of some pieces (exposed to sun) have flaked, giving it a different texture. Some of you do the refurb yourself, but I don't have the time. Are there any paint shops that specialize in this sort of plastic...

What year and model are you looking for? 1972 Newport

Sorry, don't understand. You are saying there are people that make reproduction package trays? Never seen any advertised. Who does this sort of thing?

I think that is what they are called. The piece of particle board behind the rear seat under the rear window. With all the holes for rear speakers, these are prone to warpage. It is easy enough to paint them, but straightening them out? Doesn't seem possible. My dream is to have a repro metal...

Well, thanks for the heads up on that one, since I haven't picked out my gauges yet. I had always believed the wive's tale that electrical gauges are inaccurate. Guess I should not have believed everything I heard. Do electrical gauges tap off the OEM Mopar sensor, or do they have their own...

After an idiot light malfunction, I decided to put a MECHANICAL oil pressure gauge in my 1972 Newport. The problem is, what gauge and where? I want to keep the car as close looking to original as possible. Those utilitarian silver gauges that hang below the dash just won't do! A Chevy guy...

I ruined the OEM seat fabric on my 1965 Fury III by sitting in it when my pants were dirty from working in the garage. After nearly $2000 to the upholsterer for covering it with completely new fabric, I want to prevent the previous mistake. Upholstery always wears first and worst in the...

Thanks for the tip. My door panel has TWO different colors butted up to one another. Could I do a panel like this by masking?

Dad used to yell a me when riding in his 1955 Ford Crown Victoria, "Roll your window up a crack to keep your arm off the door upholstery!" Didn't heed his warnings as an adult. As a result the door skins of my 1965 Fury III, and armrest too, are faded and ugly. Not split or cracked, nor...

Thanks for the leads. So far it does not appear that anyone manufactures a replica of the original. I really wanted a detachable shoulder harness like the original. Perhaps liability issues prevent reproduction of a part which is inherently less safe than modern systems.

On my 1972 Newport, as well as I think the years before and after, the shoulder belt was detachable from the lap belt. The shoulder belt buckle was held in place on the lap belt male by a peg with a white nylon insert. (The same system was used on my 1973 Pinto, and perhaps other makes of...
