    How to remove odor from the steering wheel of a 67 Fury?

    Get a cat and let her live in the car. You will not notice the stench from the wheel from that point on. Or a dog. Or a parrot.

    Check ETSY first for fabric and vinyl!!

    The 67 fabric isn't stamped, the 65 vinyl is.

    Check ETSY first for fabric and vinyl!!

    The vinyl is stamped 8/64 on the back. Obviously the fabric will not be correct for the 65 Nyer, but it is really close and is going to look great. I can't imagine even a die-hard Chrysler guy would know it's for a 67.

    Check ETSY first for fabric and vinyl!!

    Howdy fellas (and fell-ettes), it's Rich here in Tampa with a great tip. In my quest to find vinyl and fabric for my '65 New Yorker (and my quest to avoid buying from SMS), I searched the interwebs and was directed to the ETSY website, where I discovered a seller there that has a lot of NOS...

    Carpets?

    My experience is that ACC is the only company making these old carpets. I'm convinced that every company selling carpet for vintage cars gets their carpet from ACC. I've been through this a half-dozen times or more. Every carpet I've ordered through other companies comes in an ACC box. I...

    It's a shame they are the only game in town. They ought to fly the skull and crossbones.

    Re-padding front seat...how difficult??

    Howdy fellas and fell-ettes, The 65 Town Sedan is doing great, after a lot of sorting through a lot of stuff. So now on to the interior....the foam on the front seat has deteriorated over the last 58 years, and while the seat cover is in good shape, the foam is all butt gone (sp...

    Windlace installation over doors

    Hello all C-body fans, I've made my own windlace (because I'm cheap, and it's expensive, and it worked great on my 67 Newport), but I don't know how it attaches above the doors. As you see in the photo, there's a B-pillar center metal column that can be removed, and the A-pillar trim can...

    Dash LEDs '65 and 66? How difficult?

    Sorry man, those bulbs were in a drawer for months. Amazon's record didn't go back far enough. Just get the white ones with the egg-shaped tip on them, and you should be fine. As I mentioned, with that plate dropped, access isn't bad at all. Have fun!

    Dash LEDs '65 and 66? How difficult?

    Sorry fury fan, I threw the package away. I just bought the bulbs on Amazon or ebay. Some of those led bulbs have the led (s) pointing at 90 degrees relative to the long axis of the bulb. Better are the ones with the led pointing out of the tip, if that makes any sense.

    Dash LEDs '65 and 66? How difficult?

    Here's an update on this topic..... Back in January, I was scared off by some of the complex descriptions posted. Then, last week, I dropped the dash plate that's underneath the steering wheel in order to access something else, and I discovered that all the the dash cluster sockets are VERY...

    Dash LEDs '65 and 66? How difficult?

    Thanks to all you fine Gents for your advice. BUT...sweet mother of God that sounds excruciatingly difficult! The power bench seat in my 65 NYer weighs easily 150 pounds. It's a beast. I removed and re-installed it to replace the carpet, and Jesus it was really difficult. Given the feedback...

    Dash LEDs '65 and 66? How difficult?

    Howdy gents, I have converted my '67 Newport dash lights to LED, as well as my '63 Riviera. The Newport was a lot more difficult than the Riviera (had to drop the steering column in the Newport, etc) , but in both cases the swap was worth it. Now I'm thinking about changing the dash...
