Not Mine, I ran across this on Facebook. Originally Metallic blue, repainted resale red. Would have been a beautiful car in the original color. Not a nice color combo now. Looks like left front fender has been replaced with a ‘68 Polara fender. Has Summer Trim (some are there some are missing)...

As I am starting to get my exhaust analyzer in operating condition I need some test equipment. New project: Allen Engine analyzers, restoration? To do the proper tests on the circuit board and signal amplifiers, I need an oscilloscope. As I am looking I see ranges from $30 to $1600. As it...

I got my wife a gasket maker for Christmas. She doesn’t know that yet. My wife has always been interested in a Cricut cutter for craft projects and small signs. This year she mentioned it again so I decided it was time and around Black Friday there were some pretty decent deals. After a little...

Yesterday I started down the path of gathering some details before I ordered new springs for my ‘68 Polara. I figured I would find three or four different choices that came from the factory. But I discovered that each brand and model of C-bodies had the own P/N. So now I am trying to decipher...

Not mine- on Facebook I haven’t figured out how to copy the text. Sorry for some reason I can’t get the link to work when I paste it.

Looking for some advice from the seasoned body guys on the correct placement of seam sealer in the cowl drain area of my’68 Polara This weekend at Mopar’s in the park we had a good overnight rain and when I came out of the hotel Saturday morning my passenger carpet was wet. At first I thought...

I know this has sold some time ago, but wanted to put it out here for future reference if it comes up again. At one time I said that If I got another, it would be a convertible and match my current 2dr HT I missed this one. Not sure I was a buyer at $26,000 unless it was perfect. Vin...

I have used many parts cleaning/ restoration methods over the years. I seem to spend a lot of time cleaning parts and trying to make them new again. I also dabble in cad / zinc replating (another time suck for a different thread). I have always used solvent for internal engine and transmission...

Not mine, This is a few blocks from me. I have seen it sitting on his back 40 for a few years. Last fall they moved it into their yard and now just saw it posted. If someone is really interested I could look at it this week before Saturday and get pictures. After Saturday I cannot help for two...

I have always had a parts washing solvent tank. To be fair it is only used in spurts and then sits for a few years. I have typically used petroleum based solvents. I did try the water based concentrate type part way through my car restoration but didn’t like it as it would flash rust. On the...

Many of you know that I tend to jump into projects after doing a little research and try to re-create or learn new things. One of the things that I jumped headfirst into was upholstery. I am by no means an expert and I don’t think I am quick enough yet to do a project for someone beyond a...

I have a family member passing through that had some car issues (lost a wheel). I think we have it covered, but in case we run into any other issues the lay of the lab may be helpful. They are Ok but a little shaken. The tow truck driver and the owner of the shop they towed it to have been...

Looking to do some straight cuts in sheet metal and wondering if the sheet metal experienced have any suggestions? Looking to cut a range between 16 and 22 gauge with minimal distortion. I have seen 12 and 30” metal shears for straight cuts, throat less shears that I believe you can straight...

What type of tool do I need to re create the rubber hose barb on a steel fuel line? I do searches but most cover the double flair secured with a threaded fitting. This is what I want to re-create. This kit won’t do it. I am afraid that the tool I need is over $150. But I don’t get a good...

Has anyone installed an inline electric fuel pump for a road fix? I am in the middle of Nowhere Mt. I think I finally found my issue. My fuel pump is bad. However there isn’t one within 200 miles (at least not on a Sunday) I am 30 miles from the nearest town. (Small town) Luckily a nice...

Just about 34 years ago I drove the ‘68 Polara from Ft. Benton, MT to Loveland, CO. It sat in Colorado for about 20 years before I hauled it back to ND for the restoration. (Restoration thread link at the bottom of my signature). Now I am on my way from ND to the middle of Montana driving the...

Is it possible to search just the threads started by yourself or another author? From time to time I recall I started a thread about something, but can't always find it. I would like to search by my name to just see the threads I started. Thanks

A number of years ago (35). I took quite a few welding classes through high school and college. I wasn’t an expert but became pretty efficient with an arc welder (I believe they are called stick welders these days) and oxy acetylene torch. You don’t know how many things I welded with a metal...
