Welcome, and nice looking car. I have a 69 Newport with a 300 grill. Have her down for the winter getting a new paint job and some mild custom work. Still trying to decide on some stripes to break up all the white. Would love to see more pics of your 300
Yeah, mine is an old bucket seat onsole car. Was going to try and redo the originals, but those challenger buckets were cheaper than recovering the old ones. My have to find a smaller diameter steering wheel.
Got the rusty floor boards cut out. Found a patch panel on etsy for the passenger side. Should get those put in along with the new carpet in this weekend.
Drilled the poprivits out and removed the scab patches on the front fenders. What a mess. Filled with dirt and leaves, rotted out the...
Started pulling the interior out so we can patch the floorboards. Test fitted the new 2020 Challenger buckets. Looks like they will fit in easy enough.
Pulled the back seat and found the build sheet. Will get some pics when I get it flattened out.
Got the console out and stripped down for its...
Yeah, I am too. There was a little bit of bubbling starting on the passenger side and the drivers side has a few pin holes. Will see how bad when we pull the panels and fix it right.
Time to get rid of the 25 yr old Earl Scibe paint job.
I've driven her for 5 yrs, now finally ready to start cleaning her up.
Started pulling the chrome on Saturday.
We knew there was a lot of bondo in the rear quarters. Almost left before test driving the car when we saw them. Started...
Definitely going to paint the top. Going to put it in black primer for the summer. We've been planning on stripping and repainting over the winter. She's got a 25 yr old Earl Schibe paint job, found the can of touch up paint in the console when I got her home 5 years ago.
Planning on a...
Spent the last couple of weeks doing some patching. We threw a spray can black primer on to keep the bare spots from rusting. After looking at the back window channel from below, we decided to try patching it with all metal putty. If it doesn't work we can try new metal when we repaint her...
Pulled the Newport out and got the glue sanded off the top. Looks like when they replaced the vinyl top, they put down a few layers of primer. Probably saved the car.
Hopefully start patching the rust next weekend.
Haven't quite decided yet. Thinking about either something like a Hurst 300 but different colors or stripes like a 75 roadrunner or the roadrunner strobe stripe. Definitely staying white just haven't decided how to break up all that white.
