    Mopar Madmen 2025 calendar art

    I'm the photographer for the car club I belong to, and at the end of the year I put together a calendar. I just finished the artwork for the 2025 calendar and thought I'd show it off. :) (I can't take credit for the airplane picture. The car owner supplied that one.)

    New guy recently purchased a 66 Newport 2 Door hardtop, looking for a few good parts sources.

    Oh. If your map light comes on when you open the door but not when you flip the map light switch, I know the reason. The circuit board is swedged into the chromed metal housing.

    WANTED 1965 Chrysler Tilt Steering Column (Column Shift)

    I know the tilt-telescopic column that started in 1966 was a GM part. I always assumed that the 1965 tilt-only column was Chrysler, mostly because it uses the typical Chrysler 3-spoke steering wheel.

    Bastardized 1959 "Coronet" build

    A custom rollpan and a thin bumper might match the look of the front better. I'm really enjoying following your build BTW. :thumbsup:

    Thanks for putting the word out, Ross. I still haven't found anyone else to split the motel room with yet.

    Get your Hankook Optimo H724 WW tires while you can!

    I have the Nexen tires on one of my cars already, in the slightly smaller 225/75R15 size. They seem fine, though I've probably only driven 3000 miles on them. I just got a quote for the Nexens in 235/75R15 at $153 CAD each.
