I have a few days of vacation to burn off this year and am off between Christmas and New Years so I decided I could/should build an arm rest and cup holder console for long road trips in my bench seat Polara. The key is that it has to be easily removed and doesn’t slide around. Yes I found...

My original steering wheel for my ‘68 Polara was totally sun baked and cracked. I found a NOS new one on EBay around 10 years ago. The problem was that it was brown instead of maroon. I had the shop that did my body work and paint. Do my steering wheel as well. It turned out beautiful and had...

I have a little plastic piece that was with my inner door latch hardware. I am not finding it in any pictures from disassembly. For some reason it seems it was related to the inner door release handle, but am not quite recalling.

I found a couple of Mystery parts in a baggie with my front kick panel screws. The bag was labeled “Mystery parts under dash by cowlings. Plastic cowling spacers?” I must not of known where they went 10 years ago and I still don’t know. In the parts book I think it could be “clip, cowl side...

(68 Polara). Getting to the bottom of my box of parts to detail. And found my door release rods which are covered in cloth to keep them from rattling or maybe even from scratching the windows. After 50 years the cloth is a little tattered and brittle. A google search didn’t turn up much except...

I get a little carried away at time with the little details. Am cleaning up my throttle pedal which had a light coat of rust. Cleaning it up carefully I cannot find any trace of paint. I have found that many parts under the dash are in painted, and were probably just run through a bath to get...

Any pics of cigarette tray mechanism? I am cleaning up my ashtray. Back in high school it decided to pull all the way out because I lost or broke the stop tab. I repaired it and it seemed to somewhat work with the two remaining rollerballs. Now that I am cleaning it up I see that back side of...
