    Vent/wing window lubrication?

    I'm taking the front door panels off of my 66 Newport 2 door in order to replace the cat whiskers, make some adjustments to the glass alignment, lubricate the window regulator and door locks, replace the armrest bases and replace the cracked/missing window crank spacers. While I have it all...

    Picked up this set of four 15 x 7“ wheels from a 80s Fifth Avenue. Just noticed there’s a bit of a dent in one of the rims. Can it be repaired?

    seat belt retainers

    Did our beautiful Slab Sides have anything to keep the rear seat belts from sliding down into the crack between the rear seat back and seat bottom when new? Or was it just such a tight fit that they wouldn't slip down and get lost in "Narnia?" Perhaps my rear seat bottom has too big a gap . . .

    "Fifth Avenue" wheels, 15" - will they fit?

    Thanks everyone. I thought I saw on one of the "wheel identifier" sites that some Fifth Avenues came with 5 x 4" bolt patterns, so I was confused. From what I'm reading here, they are all 5 x 4.5", with the 3 nubs for dog dishes, and are 15" x 7". Hoping to pick them up by Monday.

    "Fifth Avenue" wheels, 15" - will they fit?

    Will 15" wheels off of a mid 80s Fifth Avenue fit a C Body. Supposedly they are 15" with a 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern. I don't know if it's an M-body or an R-body, and the salvage yard is confirming they are 5 x 114.3mm and not 5 x 100mm. Also hoping they have the 3 "nubs" for dog dish hub caps...

    Need video of 65–66 2-door hardtop quarter window operation

    Hey friends, I’m hoping somebody out there with a 65 or 66 two-door hardtop can post a video on YouTube (or similar) showing how their manual rear quarter windows go up and down. Looking to get mine working just right, but I have questions about the way they are supposed to operate. They do some...

    Can you easliy put 1968 chyrsler 300 hideaway healights on a 67 chrysler 300?

    I feel like I've seen this done once before. I'm guessing (just a guess) that if you have all of the '68 parts on hand, it should just be a matter of removing the original stuff and bolting on the newer stuff. My guesses have been wrong before though, so take it with a grain of salt. I'd wait...

    Dash pad Cracks

    Thanks for link. I’m guessing $1000 for a dash pad. I didn’t call because I’m not gonna have it done and didn’t want to waste their time. Did you get a quote?

    Dash pad Cracks

    Is there someone who “redoes” these dash pads?? Honestly, it’s in good shape for 58 years old. I’m just gonna keep it hydrated and maybe glue those cracks to try and “seal” them.

    Dash pad Cracks

    I know these aren’t that bad, but is there something I can do to prevent them from getting worse? I was thinking maybe CA glue? I recently started using Meguiar’s 57 to help preserve it.
