    Lug nuts frozen - HELP!

    I'm having a hell of a time getting my lugnuts off on my 66 300. I moved to Mississippi recently so I think rust may be the issue. I've used my 1/2" impact with 1000lb/ft of torque but no luck. I've also tried jumping on a breaker bar to "shock" the rust loose. Still lo luck. Any...

    WANTED Disk brake LH wheel studs

    I'm in need of a set of disk brake LH wheel studs. Specifically for the 69-73 single piston setup (not sure if the studs for Budd are a different P/N). Thanks guys!

    Rrply/Quote problems

    @Toolmanmike Recently I've been having a problem when replying or quoting a post. The cursor is automatically placed in the shaded box of the quote/reply and I can't move it to the white typing box. This started about a month ago. I'm on an android if that helps. I've tried logging out and...

    Apparently Richard Rawlings needs to brush up on his musical badass history.

    Anyone going to Cruising the Coast?

    Mrs. Metal Maniac and I are trying to get out every afternoon of the event. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to give Betty White a once over since we moved down here so we will be cruising in my truck. If anyone wants to hook up some time that week, let me know! We also have an apartment...

    Vogue tyres - opinions

    I'm looking to ditch the 50's gangster wide whites that came on my 68 Crown Coupe. Since our beloved Cooper and Kumhos are all on backorder, I looked outside of the box and came up with these sweet looking Vogue tires. I dig the 2" stripe and until I can custom order some triple stripes from...

    Let's see some vintage Mopar signs!

    Back when I was a teen in the mid 90's, I remember seeing an article in Mopar Muscle about some guy who had a massive collection of dealership signs from the 60's and 70's. Tons of Rapid Transit, service signs, etc. I always wanted a fraction of what that guy had. I'm looking to outfit my new...

    66 Chrysler Steering insulator - horn ground

    Well, I finally got around to replacing the steering coupler on Betty White and thank goodness I did! I used the Lares units that we all bought a few months ago on RockAuto. When I removed it though, one of the ears on the springy horn ground snapped off. I have lots of baling wire laying...

    NOT MINE 1966 Chrysler Newport

    I found this in the "auto parts" section this morning. Looks like a pretty good project! https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pts/d/apache-junction-66-newport-project/7428139669.html

    NOT MINE 1965 Chrysler 300 convertible

    https://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/cto/d/phoenix-1965-chrysler-300-convertible/7431850232.html Priced a little high if you ask me but here in AZ, we're heading into "auction season". Some pics of the interior would've been nice though.

    Fun with sway bar links

    Suspension rebuild progress continued on Betty White, my '66 300. I went to install the new sway bar bushings, courtesy of @mobileparts and in the package, there was a small nut and bolt. I checked the FSM, and sure as ****, the diagram shows a two piece link held together with a tab and bolt...

    Interesting find at Desert Valley

    I paid a visit to my neighborhood wrecking yard, Desert Valley Auto Parts, to pick up a couple of sway bar links (snapped a nut on mine) and came across this. It's a Kelsey Hayes electric brake controller. It was on a pretty low optioned 65 Newport sedan, save for Autopilot. It had two tow...

    NOT MINE Not mine (but used to be) 65 Plymouth Sport Fury

    Here's the car that got me into C bodies back when I was 17. It looks a little different from when I owned it though. It appears to have received a fresh cost of paint and the body damage to the passenger door is repaired (I didn't damage it). Glad to see it got some love in the past 20...

    Ball joint socket size

    Alright guys, I've struck out twice now on Ebay purchases of ball joint sockets. I need this for my '66 300. Measuring ear to ear, the ball joints are 2 1/8". I just received my second purchase, that is actually stamped "2 1/8" " and it's too big. Are the measurements supposed to be the...

    WANTED Imperial wheels '67-'68

    Gentlemen, I'm looking for 3 Imperial wheels from either 1967 or 1968. I'll take a set of 4 if you're not willing to separate. There's a set on Ebay that I could pick up right now but I'd rather give my hard earned c-notes to a fellow member. @detmatt and @SGT FURY I'm looking at you guys...

    67-68 Auto pilot linkage

    Would any of you guys who own a 67 or 68 be so kind as to snap a pic of where/how the Auto pilot linkage mounts? Mine is laying in the trunk and for the life of me, I can't find any diagrams in the FSM. Thanks guys!

    Imperial wheels - backspacing differences?

    Is there any difference with regards to backspacing on Imperial wheels from the slabs through formals? I need 3 factory wheels for my new blue beast (68 Crown Coupe). I found one on a 68 and two on a 73 at the yard this weekend but didn't pull the trigger in case there was a difference on Budd...

    68 Crown Coupe - Mystery Switch

    Gentlemen, I'm sure someone with way more knowledge than I will identify this in no time. I looked in the owner's manual and FSM and can't find it. This leads me to believe that it's for a top secret ejector seat, rocket launcher, or Red Rope licorice dispenser (a la Wayne's World). It's a...
