As I’m starting to regain momentum on my neglected 68, I’ve shifted focus to (in my opinion) the most IMPORTANT system of them all - the braking system. I was lucky enough to score a set of 72 disc brakes for my car and they’ve been connected almost 2 years now. However, now that it’s time to...

Much appreciated fellas! Please let me know if you have anything

Man I almost spit out my Pepsi reading this LOL. I did this a few times already with some other small PITA parts to find. Most recently (I swear even after looking in this same spot many times) I found the little sway bar end links / clamps that hold the sway bar to the strut rods (IIRC.) I was...

Well 3 years ago when I pulled the motor on Nebula (believe it or not my car has a name LOL) I put a box together full of engine parts such as all the brackets and pulleys etc etc. For the LIFE of me I can’t seem to find a few small pieces and it’s driving me nuts. I’m about to mock up the...

My bad Stan, I shouldn’t be quick to jump into defense! However, I do know the general attitude here towards a lowered C Isn’t always a positive one - lol. I do want everyone to know however how much I love and respect these cars - which is why in my vision I’m going to do my best to let the car...

Yes! I had to learn the hard way. I don’t care anymore though. I love my car, and although it’s not all original - it’s going to look good and function well!

Current status on the 68! It is ready to be driven. The heater box is close to being done. I’m working on trying to figure out a few things, like how to keep the linkage free and not bind up. The plan is to install the heater box before dropping the dash in place. I have basically all...

The typical attitude in the Mopar world is pretty much bleak towards any Mopar that isn’t bone stock and the way it came from the factory. Don’t expect nice comments or even support from a lot of the people who roam these forums. Aside from the hate a car like mine gets here, the info available...

The good news Stan is, unlike most who post here for 3 months asking dumb questions about lowering a C Body and then leave and sell there car is I’ve been plugging away at mine for 4 years. I’ve got every intention of enjoying the car fully as well as keeping things as tasteful as I can. Lowered...

Newport, New Yorker and even the 300 are pretty much identical cars with different trim packages. The Newport is an awesome car still, and the 383 is no slouch. Winds up like a small block but has all the power of a big block. I’d love to build one of those motors someday. There’s a Newport on...

Although I’d consider myself attached to the 68, I’d sell it in a heartbeat if someone offered me the right money for it so I could buy my real dream car, a 62 Chrysler. Though, letting this 68 go would hurt since I’ve done everything to basically mechanically restore it! This is my vision for...

Oh yes, I’m glad I could be of some inspiration! I’ve taken far too long of a break away from the New Yorker. I’m only 23, but already I’m married and have a kid on the way! So now I’ve resumed work on the car and I’m plugging away at making it a driver by summer at the very least. This car was...

So I’m in the final stages of assembly for my NY’er heater box! I know… I’ve lagged it for a long time but now I’m finally determined to get this Lowrider 68 going! I’m looking at being able to make the car move under its own power by summer at the very least. I got sent back to night shift...

Yep! A New Yorker, but I wasn’t a fan of the New Yorker trim, so I opted for the Newport / 300 style for my interior and I ended up with all kinds of interior parts and even some exterior Newport stuff iirc. There’s a whole lot, and I’ve been trying to get rid of it for a long time lol

I have a TON of 68 parts. Let me know if and what you need.
