I am good at mechanical and small detail work, but body work is not my forte. I had to send the body off. Here is what was done at very reputable shop specializing in classic cars and customs. Trunk pan re build,dent removal rear fenders from loose jack, dent removal r front fender from a...

Is there any way to tell if there is that inner rocker rot you talk about? How much pause does the condition of the passenger side front and rear lower quarter give you as well as the passenger side rear quarter near the window? Is straight sheet metal like this vs what I have on my car likely...

Straighter than ANY Chrysler body I've ever seen, from the factory! Looks great! CBODY67

I have window motor and regulators for the front of my NYB. Any tips on removal and installation of the new ones?

I only used the ’70 Challenger SE as an example. Whether it’s called a ‘plug’, ‘insert’, whatever, it's obvious what is being referred to here – a piece not pressed as part of the body itself. And initially I was not going into the specifics of what type of ‘plug’ was used in the Aussie ‘The...

The similar trim that runs the length of my 67 Polara 500 was completely rotten. The aluminum does not do well when placed against steel, and rots the quarter panel as well in dissimilar metal corrosion. I don't think your car is in a bad of shape, though. The trim is held on with little steel...

So...now I am considering the paint. It's rainy where I live, and nothing like the Oregon desert where this car spent its "retirement years". The paint shop says trim removal is going to cost a lot, the more I can do myself, the better off I'll be. Is there a resource I can reference that...

Anyone care to send me in the right direction for removing the stainless around my back window and windshield? The trim has little to no wiggle room against the glass and I don't want to spend money on replacement glass or trim. Do you pry from the glass side or the body side of the trim? The...

Yes, drill out the rivets that hold the regulator to the door first. Then you can slide the regulator out of the tracks on the door and glass. Once the regulator is free, lay it on the bottom of the door. Then pull the glass out. Then replace the regulator assembly. Reverse the process. Use...

Basically, in order not to destroy the motor if the window becomes stuck, the main gear in the centre of the motor is surrounded by several plastic pieces [pucks] which are designed to break should that (stuck window) occur. Of course, this requires the [Careful] removal of the window and motor...

I think I will start posting progress on my 78. I bought it out of a yard in Wyoming - came out of an estate. Prior to today I have had a lot of work performed on the car, so I will pick up from now on. Previous work: New fuel tank, fuel pump and rubber lines Replaced spark plug wires...

This applies to any car, rust around the front and rear window channels are from some roughshod gouging the paint upon glass removal whether by piano wire, hot knife or what ever tools that were used to remove the old glass that cut into the paint. IIRC by FSM or the 3M kit that I used, you need...

I haven't removed the rocker trim but there's no through rust that I can find feeling around down in the 1/4s from inside the trunk. There are some small holes and pitting in the trunk, likely due to the rear window seal which is likely the worst part of the car. The seal went out, as they do...

I guess the first order of business would be to carefully remove the door panels from the inside of you non-functioning doors. You will need to remove the armrests, the door handle, the lock button and any other screws that are visible on the panel. The panel is held in place by a series of...

I got the rear quarter window trim removal sorted out, but I can't figure out the trim on the doors. Pretty eloborate and thus likely simple! It is the trim around the window and It looks like it must just pry out but from where? The bottom trim is somehow mounted differently yet to the door...

Big John was a bid help w/ this repair. Removal of the vinyl was fairly easy with the aid of a 3' wide paint scraper. Remove the staples w/ a pair of needle nose pliers. Pop off the 300 emblem. Remove power window switch. The carpet at the bottom of the door is separated by cutting the stitches...

Hey guys: I'm beginning paint and bodywork on my convertible, and I'm currently in my "favorite" phase...trim removal. I haven't had any issues, except: I'm to the point where I need to remove the trim piece that goes up the front of the door frame in front of the vent window,and the long...

So, vinyl top has been removed. Got about half the glue removed off the roof. Sort of slow going but not too bad. Thought it would be worse. So, true to form, my top is actually not painted. It's gray primer over the rust color primer with the body color paint jammed around the doors...

I did not remove any window tracks but did remove the idler bracket and regulator assembly with the motor attached as one piece. I clamped the windows in the up position with blocks of wood and c-clamps. I drilled a hole through both sections of the regulator and bolted it in position to remove...
