Thanks John, persistently obsessed for sure. Next year I’ll be in Italy attending my nephews wedding. Imagine how rude, having a wedding during the Chrysler Nationals, and in another country no less, lol.

It is only a nephew. Put the plane fair in an envelope and have a nice life. Carlisle is much more important.

I always liked the small bumperetts and the bumpers had the holes so I’m putting them back on. Not willing to pay hundreds for NOS pieces, I decided to patch up the rubber and repaint with some satin black. I don’t remember how these came off, but getting them back on has been a challenge. Top bolts, no problem, but there is no second hole for the bottom and I can’t figure out how to position the strange looking brackets.
JB Weld Epoxy:
Of course the studs broke off. Time to break out the welder.
Also did some more detailing in the trunk with the new body plugs. I’m on the fence with the splatter paint, but I do have a new rubber mat from REM.

Beware the condensation caused by the rubber mat. I just bought reproduction carpet mats for one of my 1970 Polara 'verts to protect the floor while avoiding the moisture -- will report on fit when it arrives, they have them for all fusies:
Trunk floor carpet or mat with matching tote bag for all 1967-71 Plymouth Fury; all 1967-71 Dodge Monaco - Polara and all 1967-71 Chrysler

Thanks, I don't expect there to be moisture, but will probably be obsessively checking the trunk floor. I want to go full trunk treatment with carpet, side panels and spare cover, but haven't been able to find those parts yet, so the mat is a temporary adornment. It's also the hardtop version and will need mods, but it was on close-out and for $110 shipped I couldn't pass it up.
Gary Goers did show that stuff in his catalog. https://www.chryslerclub.org/PDF files/GOERS.pdf Since he sold the business (and has since passed away) to Quirey Quality Design, you'll have to call them.

Thanks, I've never seen that catalog before. Just checked the Quirey Quality Design web site, not much available for C bodies.
I was just reading that their web site was something created for them a couple days ago. No online sales or parts listed, just the Gary Goers Catalog. Quirey Quality Design
I painted my trunk body color except the quarter panels already had good spackle paint

Somehow I have to manipulate this rats nest into a serviceable wiring harness.
My worst nightmare hahaha
I've never bought one, but it might be worth buying one of these manuals. 1969-1970 Chrysler Electrical Assembly Manual 300 Newport New Yorker Imperial | eBay

James, when I did my Superlite install the service manual was invaluable. I couldn't have done the wiring without it. I presume you have one.
Seeing the rest of the car I'm certain you'll be fine.

My advice is to make photo copies of the FSM wiring diagrams, that way you can mark wires etc while you work.
At least that's how I do harnesses following the KISS method..
You're really making me want to work on my Ragtop, I've had it 12 years in August.

^^^^ What he said. Print big copies of the electrical diagrams. They show the shape of the connectors, color of wires, size of wire, how many wires.
It will be a puzzle, but you can do it.

I do the same, except I just print out from the downloaded FSM on MyMopar. Just highlight the wire runs and it gets a lot simpler. The '70 FSM has some decent harness locations shown in the electrical section too.
@Samplingman @Big_John and others — where did you source the pads for your convertible tops?
