Thank you sir. I've been having a great time tinkering. I'm just trying to clean her up as best as I can and maybe tweak a thing here and there.

Thank you Dave. I will absolutely check those things out. So far, I've been to chicken to touch the torsion bar suspension...

A 2 door 1965 Chrysler New Yorker I got from a guy about two years ago. His parents were the original owners. This car has lived its entire life in California, but it was born in Detroit! The New Yorker has been garaged since the late 90's. I'd call it's condition a "survivor" There's nicks...
