Well it's been a long time since I've posted here. Life definitely caught up with me but I'm still ever so determined to drive my 68 someday. As fate would have it, my wife and I are expecting our 2nd baby now. This has been a great excuse to put the project into overdrive and bust out the big...

Long-time no speak for myself here on the forums. Despite multiple attempts to sell the car for money I just can't seem to get an acceptable offer! Did have one amazing offer from a fellow member here for a trade, but in the end I feel like it comes down to me needing to finish the car if I...

Well I've been trying to find ways I can keep the 68 and get it on the road but sadly exhausted my search for the proper solution. I've lowered the price I'm asking down to $7,500 for this car. I AM OPEN TO TRADES FOR A C BODY OR OTHER FULL SIZE MOPAR THAT I CAN DRIVE AND FIX AS I GO ALONG! If...

While it's not a C Body, it's definitely kid approved Seems he's taken quite a liking to the old cars as his dad and Papa have. Now to make sure he stays a Mopar man ! Can't blame him for loving any of the old iron though, here he's sitting in my dad's 1950 Torpedo Back Chevy Fleetline. Any...

Up for Sale OFFICIALLY! My 1968 Chrysler New Yorker project. Selling for a good cause. I know the general consensus here is that I should keep the car. Unfortunately right now in my life this car is more of a weight on my shoulders dragging me down. The positive thing, is selling it helps my...

Well as my life goes, things keep changing more and more! My son Freddie is now 6 months old, and my wife and I just moved into a BIG 2 bedroom apartment. Have to thank God for blessing my family constantly and giving us what we need. I've only done a little bit here and there to the car ever...

Despite the fact that I haven’t touched my 68 in many many months, I’ve still got a feeling I could get it driving by the end of the year! Not going to lie, im worried about letting the engine sit for so long not running as well as the water that was sitting inside the radiator which is...

Even a 7 week old baby can’t help but smile at the sight of a 68 Chrysler and the might of a 440 engine! I get sad watching him grow every day, knowing he won’t stay so small forever. At the same time, I can’t wait for him to tell me “Dad, can we drive that car today?” - and I’ll always say...

We just had an AMAZING cruise night in my hometown during the Memorial Day weekend. Missed out on it this year since my son was only 3 weeks old! The crowd is way too big to take him, and the cars much too loud. There were 10’s of thousands at the cruise reportedly. Here’s some cool footage from...

Just got these beauties in!! They are going to look SO good on the 68! I also got these factory style caps for 68 too… Though I feel that these are kinda ugly, at the same time they’re cool because they’re original and would give my car a period correct “stock” look. Everyone I’ve shown...

Well cruising season is brewing here in Southern California. There’s been car shows almost every week here in Santa Maria!! Lots of beautiful cars, still no Mopars. I did well and recently scored a set of disc brake hubcaps! While browsing Instagram I came across a Lowrider 77 New Yorker...

We are pretty much done with the brake lines up front !! Didn’t get the chance to take pics before I left, but they are where they need to be. Now the challenge is to find the right soft hose for the calipers. My New Yorker was originally a Drum / Drum car but I’ve since upgraded to a ‘73 style...

I feel like I’m beginning to see the light at the end of this very long tunnel finally. She’s starting to come together! Currently my dash is away and getting re-wired. More than likely going to replace the dated Mopar fuse block with a modern “blade” style fuse block. It’d make the car a lot...

As I’m starting to regain momentum on my neglected 68, I’ve shifted focus to (in my opinion) the most IMPORTANT system of them all - the braking system. I was lucky enough to score a set of 72 disc brakes for my car and they’ve been connected almost 2 years now. However, now that it’s time to...

Well 3 years ago when I pulled the motor on Nebula (believe it or not my car has a name LOL) I put a box together full of engine parts such as all the brackets and pulleys etc etc. For the LIFE of me I can’t seem to find a few small pieces and it’s driving me nuts. I’m about to mock up the...

So I’m in the final stages of assembly for my NY’er heater box! I know… I’ve lagged it for a long time but now I’m finally determined to get this Lowrider 68 going! I’m looking at being able to make the car move under its own power by summer at the very least. I got sent back to night shift...

Well, as I’ve been inactive on the forums, I have been watching from afar. I am genuinely trying to find any time here and there to work on my 68. She’s sitting pretty, just waiting to be driven again. I know it will happen! I’m also excited to know I’ll have little hands to help build this...

I finally decided to take action and bring my old man along for a Saturday of work on the 68 Chrysler. Funny thing is my old man to many of you is probably old enough to be some of your sons LOL. (He was born in ‘77, me in ‘01) Anyways, I think having him there really helped me get the ball...

Call me crazy, but I guess sometimes it’s nice to embrace modern convenience and perhaps even more practical technology than the aging technology of yesteryear. I guess what I’m saying is, a guy put an idea into my head that actually makes sense and sounds pretty cool if done properly. Someone...

I know the title doesn’t make sense, but hear me out. We are redoing the entire wiring system on the 68 New Yorker. I’ve completely omitted the original ammeter and had the cluster itself rebuilt with a voltmeter in place that functions, looks and reads like the original. It was a complete...
