    A Good Evening...and a Good Riddance

    I haven't posted an update in a while. Bigsexy is that the alignment shop. this is a really cool place built inside of an old gas station. You have to get an appointment at least 6 weeks in advance at this place. I just thought these pictures looked cool, and I love the look with the wider...

    A Good Evening...and a Good Riddance

    Here are a few photos of the last couple of days funsies. I wish I had a quality tubing Bender, but I did the best I could with what I had. I'm glad I kept the pedal also out of the 72 New Yorker. I now have proper pedal for power brakes with the proper pivot point. between the new suspension...

    A Good Evening...and a Good Riddance

    Sorry...yes. I will post photos tonight. Suspension is in place. Struggling with achieving rotors for the 1972 brake system. I got burned by the "the computer says these will fit" at the local auto parts store (they sold me 1973 rotors). However, I will be getting some Raybestos 7012...

    A Good Evening...and a Good Riddance

    Here's today's funsies. You probably can't tell from the pictures, but the one lower control arm bushing is so wasted that the pin is actually pointing crooked. I don't know how this car drove as well as it did. I also successfully got the wasted strut rod sleeves off the strut rods. they were...

    A Good Evening...and a Good Riddance

    the short answer is, it couldn't stop the car. no matter how hard you stood on the pedal, and it was solid, the car just wouldn't stop in a comfortable distance. normal driving it was fine, but a hard stop, you're going into whatever is in front of you. plus the Chineseium booster just didn't...

    A Good Evening...and a Good Riddance

    Here's some photos of today's funsies. Amazingly everything came off good. Being a native Detroiter, I just can't get used to not having a bust rusted stuff apart, or deal with seized bolts. Today was actually fun. Every pushing and ball joint and tie rod end is toast.

    A Good Evening...and a Good Riddance

    So I had a crummy day at work today. Therefore, I went out to the garage and began working. I bought a complete suspension kit from Craig at Mobile Parts. I got a complete disc brake setup kit from a 72 Newport that was in a junkyard. So today was a good day to start the process. Cleaned all the...

    Aftermarket Side-View Mirror(s)--1969 Fury

    Hello, I am sure that this topic has been addressed in the past, but I'm going to ask anyway, as I had no luck with a search. Has anybody had any luck finding aftermarket mirrors that (even somewhat remotely) that will work on a 1969 Fury? Ideally, the driver's side is priority, but both...

    Aftermarket Mirror Possibilities??

    Hello, I am sure that this item has been discussed before. My 1969 Fury droptop has a failed (ball is actually broken somehow before I bought it) left hand mirror, and no right hand mirror. This car is a nice driver that I bought in February, and am putzing with it, and in the meantime...

    Soft top cylinder replacement to 1970 Chrysler Three Hundred convertible

    Absolute piece of cake! I did this back in March on my 69 Fury. I would recommend replacing both of them, as if one is leaking, the other is not far behind. I would also recommend removing the pump, and giving the innards a good cleaning. Chances are, the pump will be fine, as he is a...

    I won the disc brake lottery today!

    Justcarbs... The vehicle had a rear bumper. I did not look at it though. If I remember correctly, it was better than average. Yes, it did have a fan shroud.

    I won the disc brake lottery today!

    So I was in the right place at the right time today. A boneyard near me posts their cars on Facebook, and a 72 Newport was set in the yard today. My awesome son happened to be home, and loaded up the tools and met me there after work. look what we got! The one spindle has a nick in it, but I...

    1970 Fury I stripper!

    That is AWESOME, Shed Man! Love your videos by the way. I'm a little partial to slants, so just listening to the sound of the slant does my heart good. For the record, aside from the fury, we have a slant six three on the tree Dart, so I fully respect your feelings on the slant. Keep up the...
