Nothing gives me as much grief as restoration of interior plastic panels, especially when the sun degrades the surface to powder. I finally found a local guy that can skin the old plastic with a vinyl that has similar texture. But what color? The existing panels of my 1972 Newport are varying...

Plenty of people re-web seatbelts and repair retractors. Not many deal with the buckles. My Newport, like other cars of the early seventies, had a detachable shoulder harness. This allowed a person to wear only a lap belt, or the lap and should belts together. The two were attached by a...

I came out blank when I asked this question before. I found a passenger side rear-view mirror for my 1972 Newport. To my knowledge, this is not reproduced by anyone. Need someone to remove the mirror from it rechrome the metal, then reinsert the mirror. Know anyone who does this?

The lock cylinder of my 1972 Newport glove box door keeps falling out. Something must have broken on it. I can't figure out what. I have an extra glove box cylinder from a junk car, but cannot figure out how to swap and rekey it. My local locksmith doesn't want to mess with it. Got any idea...

My Newport has rectangular exterior mirrors on driver's and passenger's side. The chrome on both are pitted and the glass less than perfect. I see reproductions for earlier years; round mirrors, but not for the rectangular later years. Anyone know of any reproduction ones? If not, can any shops...

I got my grandma's Fury from the paint shop the other day. I had meticulously put the screws in every hole so as not to lose them. The paint shop guys removed them and lost them! Many are oval-head stainless screws with oval heads for trim pieces on the front of the car. Also needed are those...

I am having a good body shop repaint my 1965 Plymouth Fury III. This car has always been garaged and never repainted. Through the years, my grandparents put a lot of nicks and dents on it, and I want to restore it to its former glory! The color is an eggshell off-white. The body shop called...

I had a guy years ago that could take smashed and dented body trim, pound it out, polish it, and it would look almost brand new. He could really work that metal. I am sure he is retired by now. Found him in Hemmings, but I don't take that huge book anymore. I am leery of some guys that...
