As the title implies, the National DeSoto Club's annual convention will be held July 24-28, 2024 in New Orleans, Louisiana. This will be the club's first time having a convention in the state of Louisiana and Thomas (the convention chairman) has a great itinerary lined up! If you have never...

I included the Detroit Diesel Alpine Green in my video. It's the second-from-right on the oil pan.

Just registered - hoping to have the '66 Fury III back on the road by then!

For anyone that has never been to IRM before, this is a MUST SEE if you are a train enthusiast. A great alternative venue to Volo!

Yes, the photos and video can DRASTICALLY change how it appears. Maybe I'll bring the pan and paints along to the c-body show in June and let everyone look at them in person.

I did initially use the Mopar Performance paint on the engine as my first paint before purchasing anything else, shown in the video on-engine. The only difference to what you show above is that I used one of the older versions of the MP paint and address in the video how the part number suffix...

Okay, I know this topic has been absolutely beaten to death across many websites and forums, but I am going to beat it one last time. My problems with the other threads that led me here: -Some threads are outdated and paint formulas/availability have changed -Very few people ever bought more...

@Ranger Vic , you don't by chance live in East Troy, do you? My dad mentioned seeing a '67-'68 Fury in a garage late last year a couple times when the garage was open.

Emblemagic was purchased by Pati Monroe Fairchild several years ago. She attempted to make a go of the emblem business and ended up dropping off the radar a couple years ago. This company is out of business.

I am about to do the ones on my '66 Fury. Two questions: Are there any problems with the heat spring pivoting freely with having the whole unit coated or should I need to look into somehow removing it or blocking it off prior to coating? Did you have the engine interface ceramic coated or kept...

All those scam pages on Facebook are the same format. They have a generic "____auto parts warehouse" or "____spare parts" name and post stolen photos of parts from random cars. 99% they have no actual website to back up their page. They also magically always have the part you need, give you a...

Just as a point of clarity - no c-body was ever a "fastback" to my knowledge. That term is used with the 1966-1967 Chargers and 1967-1969 Barracudas (and some other makes, such as Mustang) where the roof line sloped all the way to the rear of the trunk. The term "fast top" is what was used with...

I keep my cars stock and put a lot of miles on them. A good set of points (find a vendor like Marx Parts, etc. that sells old NORS stuff) is an every ~10k mile service item - longer if you aren't driving in cold or hard conditions. They're super easy to do on these big blocks with the...

You don't by chance have the longer versions of these for a long wheelbase car, do you? I think they're about 80-81" long and would be what's on my '59 Fireflite 2 door hardtop.
