My Unicorn, eh?

Some more pictures of the love it received somewhere along the line.

Always find it amazing that cool cars often sustain incredible abuse. Looks like Lizzie Borden went at it it. On the plus side, with strategic hammering & some welding, those injuries will vanish, unlike those to Lizzie's parents.

A torpedo heater and you can get working.

I've been looking.

Good thing you are in the Deep South (of Minnesota) where insulation is optional.

Get those batts in and plastic up. Then no more cold day excuses.

I'm too broke to buy any rolls of the fluffy stuff. Layers will be key. And a good set of gloves, and hand warmers.

So how do you remove the dye?

ive never had any luck removing dye ( which is really more like paint) and have just had it redyed it with exc results.
i would try that 1st and see if you are happy with it. it can be mixed to match including the metallic lustre.
i had a 78 nyb with a cracked padded door panel with molded in armrest and as a last resort as a temporary fix i got a perfect oxblood one. i had it dyed from oxblood to pale gray - it looked perfect and i never did replace it. it is still on the car 20+ years later and still looks great with no cracking or flaking. they even dyed the carpet on the door and it looked perfect as well but when you touch it its not soft

I'm pretty sure the front covers will be replaced, there's some sort of putty/sealant along all the seams of the seats, so they will go bye-bye. The rear seat looks good, and hopefully just needs dying. @Ross Wooldridge helped inform me of the difference in the rear seat,and that the gold covers are available from Legendary, as are the door panels. I'll try dying them first, much cheaper.

But first things first, engine, brakes, steering and suspension. Interior will be addressed somewhere down the road.

yeah, definitely try dyeing the door and side panels - i think you might be very happy with the results and not need to replace em if they are in good shape.
good luck

I sent you a PM Scott - I can't find the Legendary 66 Sport Fury door panels anywhere on their website (which SUCKS for searching for anything, anyone from Legendary, if you're looking at this post), so they may have discontinued them.

I noticed they discontinued a lot.

And I agree their website sucks. I'm on a phone, and it won't let you look up anything unless you have a part number. So much for searching.

I think that's for warming up after freezing your tail off outside

It's a pre-heater.

One worry I have (about waiting to buy seldom-ordered parts made for a dwindling number of cars still in existence) is that, by the time one is ready to order, they may have been discontinued. The alternative, unfortunately, is to have money tied up in parts sitting on a shelf.

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

That's what I have done, and continue to do...

That's a chewy one. Lol. You need a toothpick to get the peat moss out of your teeth after a dram of that. Lol

I'm not against hoarding parts for later use, I just hadn't ever planned on buying Plymouth parts.

Canukians think they are Dodge parts. . .

Its the norm up here in Canada..You know how long it took to finish my car and i did store many parts over the 12 years before final assembly,LOL!! Just a few pics that afre only the tip of the iceberg.

To settle the console debate..here is a low mile original Canuckian Monaco example....Both Ross and the late Bill Mounteer saw this car with me around 2008.
