Restoring My 1968 Sport Fury convertible

[cm23uoc]

Then it got turned around someday or installed by a drunk assembly line worker.
The ones I saw always showed the cid up in front.

I went and looked the 383 faces the driver and the Plymouth logo points up the middle line of the hood

that may or may not be the correct orientation

So this is oriented as saylor said? Resolution is bad on my phone.

 

[commando1]

No. Orientation is as I said! Engine size faces forward ahead of the car and The pointed tip of the V points towards the driver....

Me too, I thought 383 has a standing emblem...

 

[saylor]

67 is standing up, 68 is this thing. speaking of that- did you all see the clear pentastar glass emblem on flea bay? id wear that on my pimp chain

I have got a bit more done on the Plymouth. Mounted the bonnet emblem and the PLYMOUTH letters. A new windscreen and right hand mirror. I also fitted the fuel tank, wiring to the rear and under the bonnet. But the best news is I have got all my engine parts from the US and can finish the engine. If all goes well I should have the engine ready to assemble next week or so.

Cheers Trevor

Where did you purchase your windshield and rubber gasket? Did it fit well? Thanks John.

I bought it from Ralph Moore Classic Auto Glass in Sydney. The rubber is a reproduction one from Steel Rubber. Ralph supplied the glass and the rubber and I fitted it. The rubber fitted very well. All up $660AU.

Is that a laminated front screen too? Im curious how you put it in without cracking it.

 

[Sport Fury in OZ]

Yes it is laminated screen. It is quiet an easy screen to fit. The bottom edge sit on the opening and the dash and then using a string you pull the rest of the screen in starting on the bottom sides and work your way evenly to the middle at the top. Having a new rubber helps.
