What are people doing when their headrests get cracked? Is there a solution or aftermarket replacement that will work? These are not fabric but molded around foam like a dash.

Has anyone restored a mid 70's Plymouth Fury III or similar and had to do something with your cracked head restraints? Is there an aftermarket part that will work? Of what did you do? Mine are cracked underneath the head restraint, pictures dont show how bad, but I thought these could be...

Whatever you do if the car sits a lot and has non-ethanal rubber treated lines/carb gaskets etc. Do yourself a favor and only by "non-ethanol" premium. While more pricey up front will save you a lot of headaches in the future........well worth that.

So its funny you post this as I have had very similar experiences. Smaller valve engines will be snappier and produce more torque in the low RPM's than larger valve engines. I have built a 401AMC with 304 heads, a 350 with 307 heads and have had the same results you are talking about. Ironically...

What about the trick flow 240 head and a 440 source stroker kit stroking a 440 to a 512.? Simulated Im getting 525HP @5000 RPM and 645 ft-lbs at 2500?? Real world...yet to be determined but it should move a large heavy C-body rather nicely for the street. Roller cam and all!

I have not removed the top of the window opening trim as I found it is rivited in place in some spots under the drip rail, so I am planning on leaving it in place for now. The rest of the side trim comes off with a trim removal tool and some phyllips head screws. Its not real hard but patience...

Going to do a full repaint, but have never messed with an old Mopar before. I have questions how the trim gets removed as this trim is in excellent shape so I dont want to mess it up removing it. So how does the 1) side trim on the body get removed. Looks like some have screws holding it on 2)...

Well that is interesting. On a humorous note. The old saying was never buy a car built on a Friday afternoon or right before a holiday. I guess this car had the bugs worked out of it by now. Eventually when I get to replacing the interior, I will get to see if the sheet is under the seat!!

No luck yet! I found a place that would charge me $3500 to make a mold and create one from scratch. I may start a side business to sell 1974 Plymouth Fury Windshields!! :LOL

Thats GREAT!!!! Thanks for the information. I had looked around the internet but couldnt find anything for a C-Body!! Here is the door tag

Yes I will. Can you help decipher the rest of the fender tag for me. I know for sure the following. E63= 400 cubic inch 2 barrel carb, D34 =Torque flight Transmission (is this a 727 assuming?) PH41= Plymouth High 4 Door (not sure what the 1 represents) M4F= (Not sure of what the M stands for...

Cool thanks!

Thanks just joined so I figured the question was asked many times before. Thanks for the information. My 215's are very dry rotted and I think they make the car sit to low anyway so wanted to get the maximum out of it

Thanks
