    Aftermarket wheels?

    Uh huh... Other than being an inch wider... They fit the same as stock. Destroying bearings with an offset like this, I get it. Not with zero offset.

    Any luck finding your old cars?

    I used to have a 68 Polara 2dr hard top with a 318 around 2000-2001. I painted it a sort of grass green and pearl white top. My wife and I took it on our honeymoon through the Smokey Mountains. I traded it in on a used Mustang the day I felt the transmission start slipping. Of course, that's...

    Aftermarket wheels?

    No, It's 5x4.5, or 5x114.3 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X5x114.3+et0.TRS0&_nkw=5x114.3+et0&_sacat=0

    Aftermarket wheels?

    Without measuring, I'd guess about 1/2"

    Aftermarket wheels?

    So I ended up with the super trendy Ridler 695s. Not at all my first choice but I already had tires sitting in my garage. I do have two of the Daytonas, so if I ever come across another pair, I'll certainly switch to those. These are 18x8 with 0 offset. They fit really well, too. The tires...

    Aftermarket wheels?

    MAN, what a dreadful expedition this has been! Long story short, there is one warehouse somewhere with only two of the Daytona wheels on the shelf, but half a dozen retailers on ebay, amazon, and google who say they have two wheels. So, when I buy a pair from this guy and a pair from that...

    steering wheel screws

    When I got this 66 New Yorker a few weeks ago the PO gave me the cracked original lucite steering wheel with it. He put a wood grain Grant wheel on it. I have now repaired and painted it, but I've found that I'm missing at least three teenie tiny thread screws that hold the big chrome horn...

    65 Sport Fury

    So, what were the dimensions you used for the steering joints? 3/4 36 spline x 3/4 DD into 3/4 DD shaft into 3/4 DD x 5/8 36 spline? Amazon has generic black steel joints, but I can't find that exact combination. I can find the two joints for a 1" DD shaft but no shaft, or one of the two...

    '68 300 headlight motor - where is the power plug supposed to be in the harness?

    Man I love hidden headlights. My 68 Cougar had them, but they were vacuum operated. It was the thing to swap them for Miata headlight door motors.

    Aftermarket wheels?

    I liked these when I first saw them until I saw pics of cars with them. I very much appreciate the retro-nostalgia of them, but they just don't look right to me.

    Aftermarket wheels?

    This is the best picture of the cragars that are on it. It helped a little to put thin white walls on it, but they are rusty and flaking around the rim. Thanks for all those pics! I've had almost no luck simply googling for them. It's good know that my car would look less-than-awesome to me...

    1968 Chrysler Newport Faux Touring Project

    So tell me about those wheels. Are they 18 or 20? 8" wide?

    The New Yorker had a slight make over.....

    I love the look. What dimensions did you go with for wheels? Had you ever tried different wheels before the ladder bars? I'm looking to do some newer 18x 8.5ish wheels on my 66, but this seems almost like uncharted territory...

    Aftermarket wheels?

    I'm looking to replace the rusty Cragar wires on this 66 New Yorker with something a bit more modern-sized and styled. I like the Mustang eleanor-style wheels, in probably an 18. Are 9 inch wheels possible in the back with the skirts? Anyone done anything like this? Pics of your experiences...

    New window motor goes bad after just a few uses???

    Is this a common thing, or did I just get the one piece of garbage from the parts store? The new driver's door window motor worked great on the bench, worked great in the door while I got the glass adjusted and tracks lubed, then the first time I took the car out with my wife to show off the...

    New 66 New Yorker!

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum. A couple weeks ago I got the bug for an early 60's "something big". I've had a handful of 60's cars, one being a '68 Polara 2dht that my wife and I took on our honeymoon. I traded it in on a used mustang when the transmission started going out, but I wish I could...
