    65 Newport Exterior parts interchange

    The Imperial has slab side body lines but they will not interchange with your Newport. Doors and such are bigger. If you were just going to raid the window channel, it might be possible to make that work with some cutting and other modifications. You would be better served to find a west...

    Door Adjustment problem

    The hinge mount to the door pillar is slotted so you can move the hinge forward or backwards. This will raise the trailing edge of the door up or down to get the door to line up with the striker. The striker is also slotted and can be taken loose to move it in or out or up and down. The hinge...

    Road Wheel Balance: Rear Weights Only?

    Might also consider putting the weights on the inner side of the wheel if the tire only needs a small amount of weight. We used to do that on the wheels balanced using a bubble type balancer. There also used to be weights with an elongated mounting tab to clear the hub cap or trim ring. Dave

    1973 Monaco, remove aftermarket tint glue

    Regular old rubbing alcohol, it is cheap and effective. Do not know why people put that crappy tint laminate on anything. Makes a C-Body look like a pimp mobile. Dave

    1967 convertible polara door interchange?

    Stay with a Polara door, the trim lines are different on the Monaco. Probably want to also stay with the '67 door for the same reason. Dave

    1967 convertible polara door interchange?

    Yes. If you look at the side of the hardtop door, there will usually be two punch marks in the sheet metal. Those marks are present on all hard top doors and all convertible doors. Those two divots are used to locate the striker for the sliding block on convertible doors, it was easier for...

    1967 convertible polara door interchange?

    If it is a hardtop door, the basic door shell should be the same. Usually the convertibles have a different frame for the door glass and the vent wing, so that would need to be moved from the convertible door. The convertibles also have a sliding block on the door pillar and a block striker...

    Does this look normal for a 66 Fury?

    For a driver/project, that price is way out of line. Very nice ones are $16.5 and up. Dave

    Does this look normal for a 66 Fury?

    A lot of Mopar verts has some pretty lousy looking welds at the base of the door pillars. This has to do with the way these cars were constructed. A unibody is reliant on the roof panel for support to keep the body from sagging in the middle. Convertibles lack a solid roof so Mopar added a...

    71 Plymouth door lock rod

    Charlie If the lock ease does not work, you really do not need to remove the rod from the door mechanism. I assume that you have the inner door panel off, look at the back of the lock cylinder, there is a metal U-Clip that holds the tumbler assembly to the door skin. Remove the U-Clip to free...

    1964 New Yorker Hood Alignment: Help!

    The factory used shim packs on the fenders to get proper alignment. There are two bolts at the rear of the fender where it approaches the cowl mount, shims are added or taken out to get the fender aligned with the cowl louver and the top of the doors. Start there to see if that much is...

    Can i plastidip my engine Bay?

    Most of what I see under your hood is dust and dirt residue. Get some engine cleaner and spray the whole thing down. It should clean up well with a little elbow grease. The fender wells and cowl appear the same color as the tops of your fenders, that is normal patina. Dave

    Can i plastidip my engine Bay?

    My advice is to forget about the rattle can touch up and leave the car as is. The car is worth more with the engine compartment as unmolested as possible. The rattle can spray jobs usually manage to get over spray where it does not belong and that can look really tacky and is a turn off to...

    And if the plasti-dip is not applied with with the correct prep, you will have a mess peeling off in a few months. Dave
