Thanks! Where did you find this truck mat pictured? Grandma's Fury was always garaged, and only used for hair salon visits, flower arranging classes, and grocery shopping. Grandpa drove his 63 Chyrsler 300 everywhere else they went. Too bad my dad let the 300 go. But I kept the Fury garaged...

Believe it or not, I got the pristine original carpet in my Grandma's 65 Fury III. I would like to keep it that way. Only problem is the original floor mats have broken in pieces. Would be interested what cut-to-fit floor mats you all have found worthwhile. The old style front floor mats used...

The best gas mileage I ever got with my 1972 Newport with 400, 2V and single exhaust, converted to electronic ignition was 14 mpg on the highway at 55mph. My 1965 Fury with 383 (which had higher compression ratio) 2V, and single exhaust was 16mpg at 55mph. It is a lighter body than the Newport...

Got a 1965 Fury with a 383 and single exhaust and I want to convert to stainless exhaust parts. I am tired or rusted clamps with nuts I cannot remove. Also I would like a fancier end to my tail pipe than just a plain old round oxidized tube. What are your favorite stainless exhaust vendors? It...

Sorry I missed your post, Jet. I am in more trouble than ever. The guy I sent my belts to for overhaul has disappeared. Now I am minus the belts. Someone on the Pinto forum was soliciting intact plastic pieces to scan to reproduce via 3D printing. I can understand how this could be done on...

The only thing spoiling that beautiful find is that UGLY tach hung off the steering column. Got to remove it!!!

Got my 65 Fury with 383 back from restoration shop after a long time. (Delayed by COVID) I think the rear leaf springs were re-arched to bring the car to level. A new fuel level sender was put in. I had hopes that the fuel gauge would read accurately, but it was not to be. When the tank is full...

The OEM tail pipe hanger for my 1965 Fury III broke. The U clamp around the pipe was suspended by some sort of thick rubber. I know the chance of getting a similar new hanger is zilch. I can drill out the rivet and just put another piece of rubber in, if I could find the material they used. I...

So that is what makes the parts look so dirty, no matter how I scrub them! Thanks for the revelation! Guess Big John is right. It is impossible to restore the true color, so I might as well look for a color that looks pleasing, like trying to match the off white on the vinyl door panels. Same...

I am also looking for a seat cover fabricator. But I spent $2000 reupholstering my front seat and want people to be able to see it at a meet? Are those covers easy to remove? One shop fabricate old-fashioned plastic covers. But man, I remember as a child how hot they were to my legs in the...

Nothing gives me as much grief as restoration of interior plastic panels, especially when the sun degrades the surface to powder. I finally found a local guy that can skin the old plastic with a vinyl that has similar texture. But what color? The existing panels of my 1972 Newport are varying...

Thanks all. Snake-Oil products is one outfit to stay away from, if online ratings can be believed. I will check out Bill and Robin Edwards. At the time I was restoring my Pinto, I couldn't find anyone to restore the same sort of Ford detachable system. The lap and shoulder belts were merged as...

Plenty of people re-web seatbelts and repair retractors. Not many deal with the buckles. My Newport, like other cars of the early seventies, had a detachable shoulder harness. This allowed a person to wear only a lap belt, or the lap and should belts together. The two were attached by a...

Thanks so much. I will contact them.

Got the shop to put all the trim on except the strips at the bottom of the door windows for a 2-door hardtop. They need about 30 of these clips. Size is length 11/16 width 5/16 stud hole 1/4. The shop doesn't know where to get them. Do any of you have any sources? Thanks for all the help so...

To be honest, I removed the trim from the car prior to taking it to them, so I could send it to be straightened by Iverson Automotive. George has a very long wait time to get things done. The restoration shop farms out painting and body work because they say paint solvents open up a OSHA and...

Thanks for the tip. I will call Monday.

My unfortunate 1965 Plymouth Fury has been marooned in a restoration shop for nearly two years during COVID. All mechanical work has been done on this freshly-painted car. I got a call today saying the owner wants it out of his shop, and I need to find a body shop to reinstall all the trim...
