    Update on 300 Clone project 1955 Windsor-300 clone beast

    Just an unsolicited update on a longer project - the Windsor to 300 clone project. Trying to keep it 'in the family' Mopar family that is, my next stunt is to try to add in 12V alternator and PS pump. Originally the car came with a 6V system, a combination 6V generator and power steering pump...

    Looking for bumper frame to frame bolt details 1955 Windsor

    Hello Fellow Forward Lookers, I'm hoping someone can share the knowledge if they have it. I've been mincing along on my Windsor-300 clone project for about 5 years now. It was someone else's abandoned resto project that came in pieces. The only bumper frame bolt that wasn't blue-wrenched off is...

    Ballast Resistor Voltage (Solved. The points failed)

    Gary - - Sounds like your starter is turning but your ignition is not engaged. While working on this problem, consider checking your bulkhead connections, & fusible link. I had this problem once, but currently forget what the solution was. .. There's a temporary trick to bypass bulkhead by...

    trunk mounted luggage rack - haven't seen one on a slab yet

    Hello C-body Fans, I stumbled upon this pic while pawing through FBM the other day. Fairly certain I've never seen a luggage rack on a slab era C-body. (wagons, yes - roof mount). Does anyone know if they made a factory option (non-aftermarket), for slab trunks? Shared wisdom appreciated...

    Down the Newport window whiskers rabbit hole.

    " I noticed that some sets of fuzzies (whiskers) have a squeegee (wiper blade of sorts) for the outer fuzzies, and some just have the same fuzzy felt-like material for both the outer and inner pieces. Also, I'm fairly certain this may deviate between Mopar models & years. Does anyone have this...

    Down the Newport window whiskers rabbit hole.

    OK, small update. I received a bag of assorted generic whiskers, and comparison revealed only one is close to the factory fuzzy. And, it is really not that close. black vs. chrome, and different width. But in a pinch.... it might be an ok temporary substitute. I noticed that some sets of...

    Loss of fuel under throttle.

    Hey Mighty Mats, Just checking in on this thread. Assuming all the dust has settled on this one. Did you ever confirm beyond all doubt what the culprit was? Thanks, Mike

    Down the Newport window whiskers rabbit hole.

    Hello Fellow C Body Enthusiasts, Although I've tracked down 5 or so sources for inner and outer window whiskers, they all are 'out of stock' on the 68 Newport fastop option, (& verts for that matter).. I can get generic pieces, where I trim down the pieces and perhaps bend the rear units, but...
