IMO, Big Johns advise, diagrams and information presented are exactly on point. Just one thing to add is that IMO, one of the reasons for the electronic regulator to move to the 2 wire system is that the electronic components are a bit less expensive and more common, and the way they are...

I bought my top from ARO. ARO2000.com I installed the top myself. Was a big job, made bigger by the fact that i had to repair rot and rust on the front header. I spoke to the owner of the company Putt, directly who was very helpful and the top fit perfectly along with the glass rear window...

John, Where I come from there is no such thing as a good slab side floor or trunk panel. Ive owned these cars since the 80s when I got out of high school and even back then these parts were rotting out or getting thin. By the time I source a good part and pay for it as well as shipping in these...

While I 100% agree with the video on the rocker panel that shows, in my case I bought rear floor patch panels and trunk extensions from C2C for my 67 Newport. There were similar fitment and shape issues, but the one overall point to not forget is that for floors, they do not really show unless...

Hello, do you have the beltline strips (cat whiskers) for a 1967 Chrysler Newport convertible? Steve

I designed and made my own solid state voltage limiter since I had parts to do so laying around. I can say that technically there is no need for that capacitor in a properly designed solid state device. It has been removed in my car and the only noise on the AM radio comes from the points...

On the radio, Ive owned 3 67 Newports. 2 of the cars I bought used years ago and they had the slide knob AM radios. the third car my dad bought new and he told me it also had the slide radio in it but he had the dealer put in a factory FM radio when he bought the car. The radio they put in is...

Hello, Would you sell the front bow of the convertible top if its any good?

Hello All, Its been awhile since I posted on this topic so i thought I would provide an update. Please see pics below. The car is painted, been put together and driven about 300 miles this summer with the top down. First mileage put on the car since 1989. Now its time for winter work. I just...

In my 67 Newport, I converted my ammeter to a voltmeter by removing the ammeter from the dashboard, gutting it and replacing the guts with a digital voltmeter of the correct dimensions that I found on ebay. I then cut a hole in the ammeter meter scale so the voltmeter would be centered on the...

Is the corner you have for the left side? so far i know for sure i need that one. I will take the rest off this weekend and see how the right side looks. Would you sell these pieces?

Hello, No not the top of the quarter panel. this piece is over the canvas of the convertible top. Where it is still good it is held in place with Phillip's head screws. I have already replaced the entire area of the quarter panel that is over the tire. I have a donor car for Sheetmetal but...

Hello, I am prepping my 67 Newport for paint. When I removed the trim around the convertible top I discovered that the strip behind the trim that i believe is what holds the top to the body is mostly disintegrated. Are these pieces available anywhere? I will admit that although I did do a bit...

One of mine was stuck like this on my 67 Newport. I used a wide thin bar between the door and and the body and pried carefully so as not to bend anything and the door opened. Problem was as described above. The lube had deteriorated to the point that the latch could not turn without some...
