No, it's beat all to he'll. Looking to replace it with a paint stripe.

Welcome, and nice looking car. I have a 69 Newport with a 300 grill. Have her down for the winter getting a new paint job and some mild custom work. Still trying to decide on some stripes to break up all the white. Would love to see more pics of your 300

Yeah, mine is an old bucket seat onsole car. Was going to try and redo the originals, but those challenger buckets were cheaper than recovering the old ones. My have to find a smaller diameter steering wheel.

Yeah that portable lift is one of the best things my brother ha picked up. Here is a pic of my Galaxie at about full extention.

Got the rusty floor boards cut out. Found a patch panel on etsy for the passenger side. Should get those put in along with the new carpet in this weekend. Drilled the poprivits out and removed the scab patches on the front fenders. What a mess. Filled with dirt and leaves, rotted out the...

Started pulling the interior out so we can patch the floorboards. Test fitted the new 2020 Challenger buckets. Looks like they will fit in easy enough. Pulled the back seat and found the build sheet. Will get some pics when I get it flattened out. Got the console out and stripped down for its...

Yeah, I am too. There was a little bit of bubbling starting on the passenger side and the drivers side has a few pin holes. Will see how bad when we pull the panels and fix it right.

All in all she really isn't in too bad a shape.

Time to get rid of the 25 yr old Earl Scibe paint job. I've driven her for 5 yrs, now finally ready to start cleaning her up. Started pulling the chrome on Saturday. We knew there was a lot of bondo in the rear quarters. Almost left before test driving the car when we saw them. Started...

Definitely going to paint the top. Going to put it in black primer for the summer. We've been planning on stripping and repainting over the winter. She's got a 25 yr old Earl Schibe paint job, found the can of touch up paint in the console when I got her home 5 years ago. Planning on a...

Got the a pillar patch in with no problems. So starting to prep the top for a more permanent black primer.

Spent the last couple of weeks doing some patching. We threw a spray can black primer on to keep the bare spots from rusting. After looking at the back window channel from below, we decided to try patching it with all metal putty. If it doesn't work we can try new metal when we repaint her...

Pulled the Newport out and got the glue sanded off the top. Looks like when they replaced the vinyl top, they put down a few layers of primer. Probably saved the car. Hopefully start patching the rust next weekend.

Got out to the junk yard this morning. Found a 72 Fury to cut a patch panel out of. Probably start on that tomorrow.

Haven't quite decided yet. Thinking about either something like a Hurst 300 but different colors or stripes like a 75 roadrunner or the roadrunner strobe stripe. Definitely staying white just haven't decided how to break up all that white.

Fortunately my brother is an aircraft mechanic. So we should be able to get the back welded up. We know a junk yard in the area that has a 72 Fury. Hoping that it ha close to the same curvature at the corner of the windshield and we can get a patch panel out of it. She won't get another vinyl...

Had not planned on starting this job yet, but started noticing water in the trunk. Found a bigger mess than I planned for. Looks like this is the cars second top. Wondering if Earl Scibe also installed the top when they painted her 25 yrs ago. Was expecting the holes at the rear window. The...

Just my 2 cents, my 69 Newport still has her original 383. All we have done is put a 4 barrel on her. She has plenty of power. Leave yours as she is for now and enjoy her. If at some point you pull the car down for some major work, then think about adding the 440.

Just got the 78 back from the detailer. Took him a few days to buff her down but what a difference. I think the rear quarters were repainted at point. last pic is how she looked when I got her. If you need detailing near SW Ohio look these guys up.

Mine had the original hub caps when I bought it. Thought they were kind of boring. Switched to 17 in torque thrusts.
