A dry day after lots of rain, so took it out for a ride. Wheather in the Netherlands is not that harsh during fall and winter. So when possible the C bodies keep running all year long.
What did you do to your C-body today....

I like your paint scheme! That, along with the white-letter tires and black wheels make your car stand out in a good way!

This is the premier cruising season here! I'm not puttin nuttin away!
Actually, if we didn't get snow the other day with road salt getting dumped on the streets, I could drive for a couple more weeks. It was in the 50's today.
Once the salt goes down, the cars don't go out until spring and only then after a good rain storm or two to wash the streets.
I actually enjoy the break in some ways. I do other stuff, and sometimes work on some winter car project, although I have a harder time with the cold every year.

Love it.
Would 1" foam work on a bucket seat.. I have nothing but springs now. Everything else rotted out.
Bucket seats are quite a bit different. If you look at any of the molded seat foams for other Mopars, you'll see that it isn't just a piece of foam. It's thicker on the left and right edges for example. What a good upholsterer will do is build up the seat out of blocks of foam and trim it down to shape. It's an art that I've never done.
I really wish someone would market a molded foam for these cars. Legendary offers foam for '60-'65, but not the later C-bodies. If I re-do the front seats in mine, that's what I'm using.
Sorry I don't have an answer for you.
This is in Spanish, but even watching it with the sound off, it really shows how it's done. There are other videos if you do some searching.
Been driving it around Fresno lately. Going to take it tomorrow to meet with a Pastor for coffee at 2.

I changed the seal in my timing chain cover, been cleaning and painted engine parts, covers, brackets all the good stuff! Getting ready to put my 440 back together and see what happens!! New timing chain/gear, oil pump waterpump and housing, fuel pump, carb, distributor and all the extras. If it dont start it will look good over the winter! Ive been working on this 300 over a year, ready to drive it!
I've been working on my 300 over a year and driving 20 miles after each repair. I'll always find something else to fix

I havent even got to drive mine yet. Was delivered on a flat bed! Been a work in progress ever since, but getting closer all the time!!!
Did my yearly lube of the manifold heat valve with the official solvent. Back in ‘68. It was called Manifold heat control solvent 2525054. The original p/n crossed many times gives you the Mopar rust penetrant 04318039AE.
Also cleaned off the dust and covered for the winter.

Fixed my odometer and trip meter today. Who knows how long it's been broke. Couple of pictures in case it helps someone. Idler gear under trip meter was jammed up from old grease. Big job pulling instruments panel to fix and much more work to put back

Bit of progress on project dragoon. It’ll get a thread once it gets back from the fabricator
Pulled steering column today to rebuild coupler. Parts on order from mancini racing. Forgot to get a picture but spring was broke causing a lot of slop and play.
