As to the wax residue, the liquid Meguiar's ceramic and some of their synthetic more-premium products do not have the traditional white wax residue. It's noted on their boxes and containers if they do not do this. That is accurate. I used the original ceramic liquid to shine/protect some...

In the past 5 years, some "protectants" have emerged which are spray on, wash off. Most of them have some "ceramic" or "graphene" technology in them. Many YouTube videos on such and their relative durability. As well as the "Torque" brand might work, in the comparison tests for projected...

"Assembly manual"? Where to get? Just curious, CBODY67

As to the color and style, the factory combinations (car color and stripe color) are in the Color and Trim books at www.hamtramck-historical.com website. Might need to manually input that address. Go to "Library" and then follow the prompts for model year and make/model of vehicle. Enjoy! CBODY67

Seems like there is an illustration in the '66 Chrysler FSM? Pump mounts directly below the tank. Outlet line runs in the trough in the lh frt fender shield till it gets to the cowl. There is attached to the F-divider item which sends the water to the rh side of things, with one line going to...

You had snow, upper midwest had tornadoes, and the upper half of the TX panhandle is cooking from massive wildfires. Estimated 10K cows burned. The last day of Feb! Such a climate we have these days. CBODY67

Anodized aluminum is a great alternative to polished stainless steel. It can be sanded off, BUT then you have to refinish it (somehow) with new anodizing or similar. You CAN polish it off with much time on a stationary buffing wheel machine, but you basically have to "burn" it off, so sanding...

One time, ages ago, a friend of mine (at the time) started to repaint a '52 Plymouth he bought. We sand blasted off the old paint, then applied the primer. In a time well before the current primers were available. He told the paint supply guy what he wanted to do. "Metal Prep" liquid was not...

Spot welds for the panels, "brazing" and grinding-to-shape for larger holes. Have to keep the heat LOW so as not to buckle the panels. I'd forgotten about SMS. Thanks for the reminder, @ayilar. CBODY67

What you have is the Chrysler Boar Grain vinyl top in darker green. That is important as there are other grains out there, usually GM-use grains. Remove the top and get the top painted. Only the edges were painted from the factory, so what's under there is most likely primer only. Get a FULL...

Chrysler Newport and most New Yorker body panels could be interchanged in '65, plus some 300 body items. Imperials were a completely different situation prior to 1967. Best to get what bolt-on fits. Makes fitment much quicker and easier. CBODY67

Which ever color you are trying to match, take a piece with that color on it to a local paint supply and get them to mix you some "matched" paint. With some reducer and a Preval sprayer, you'll be in business again. CBODY67

Clicking on "Contact Us" in the far upper area of the page, reveals email address and voicemoil phone number. It will be hard to exactly-match the size and shape of the OEM vinyl insert, BUT under their chrome molding selection, there is one which is close, so the width of the OEM insert is...

It's been a while since I've looked at my cars in that area, but it seems like the sections are made from two C-sections welded together? Might be easy to weld and all of that, PROVIDED you use the correct gauge/thickness and metal-specification of metal to weld back into the item. THEN...

Certainly, replacing the roof can have its pitfalls, too. One is cost and finding a body shop willing to do such. If a shop is not scared of the project, their customer might be scared of their charges to do such. It would be nice to find a suitable donor car, too, but without having ever had...

Be sure to keep the molasses tightly-capped so that the insects and critters don't find it.

In one respect, I would say "Forget the fiberglass", figure out how to remove the cloth headliner, and put all of your patch panels on from the inside, where available, using panel adhesive on the cleaned inner surface of the roof panel. Rather than "body shop coatings", I might suggest a rust...

When the cars were new, individual letters could be obtained from Chrysler Parts. In a "salvage yard world", you might need to get the complete deck lid to get that one letter, unfortunately. There might be some NOS vendors in here that would sell or might have that ONE letter, though. If...

Have you checked the TCP Global website for that code and possibly getting it in a spray can? Otherwise, a quart of that paint and a Preval sprayer unit (glass bottle onto which a sprayer unit is screwed on, making it a reuseable spray item. They are available from many sources and quite...
