Over the years of building my 68 Chrysler, I’ve had SO many different visions and ideas. As I’ve gotten just a little older and have a better appreciation for these cars, I find myself wanting something almost stock still but not quite. The move now is converting the shell of my New Yorker...

I bought a rebuilt unit from Halifax here on the forums. Should be coming in this week!

Thank you much! It means a whole lot to hear. Seeing this car come back from its former grave and starting to look nice again is the best satisfaction I could ever have. Nice to see you mention that you restore Console phonographs! I’m a record collector. Very big on rare Doo Wop, Sweet Soul and...

I brought home the ONE skirt that came with my New Yorker (I now have like three sets.) Wanted to see how nicely it would buff out! Here are the results. 42 years of sitting idle! That paint shines thru nicely. Seeing how beautiful it buffs out it really makes me reconsider my desire to...

That last part! This is why I decided to paint various components that I initially wanted to have powder coated. I know a guy who restores his own cars. His work is AMAZING. He has a drop dead gorgeous 68 Charger and some other cars too. I was amazed to find that his frame and suspenion related...

Definitely look into them! The car is in Nipomo and they were able to come in the afternoon. I know they service SLO too. Also, GOOD eye! You are correct. It is my friend's wife's high school car! She drove it during her HS years in the early 2000s. It is a '56 4 door. Sadly weather has gotten...

A follow up of my last post, I was worried sick about this day. Apex Auto Glass out of Santa Maria came and took care of my glass removal. They came and had a hard time removing the trim as it was basically fused on in some parts!! They were even scared at times because of the pressure they...

I just read the entire post. Yikes!! Hopefully someday you can get replacements if that is the best option left. Interesting note, I notice someone there said they had bought a Newport that sat in the California desert since 1989… Perhaps it came from the same place as mine did!

Ever tried using 0000 Steel Wool and going over it lightly?

Thank you pal! I do know if you have a machine, there’s polish and pads specifically for doing glass. Perhaps that may help?

I did a clean up of the windows. Poor old sweetheart hasn’t been cleaned up in decades. I sure haven’t cleaned them in the time I’ve owned it. Made a big difference! All I did was dilute vinegar and water and used some lint free towels to wipe them off. Of course I blasted them off with water...

Thank you! The person I spoke with on the phone said they do cannot source a new window (they did a quick search through their supplier I think) so they just warned me of a possibility the window may break but they’d be safe as possible! Thank you for all that great info! I will be sure to...

Do you know where I can get the front windshield?

Moving along slowly but surely in my backyard build - reviving a long abandoned ‘68 New Yorker. Tomorrow Apex Auto Glass is sending techs to remove the front and rear windshield/ glass on my 2 door fast top. They are solid and in tact - BUT, in the event that they break… is there a source for...

Hey all! This is a bit of an addition to my “color quest” thanks to all who replied to my previous thread. I’m trying to see some various red Mopar colors and what they are if you know it! Looking forward to seeing some beautiful rides. I can’t seem to find any 77-1 Ruby Poly colored rides off...

I recently stumbled across this 1967 drop top Newport online and that red is absolutely stunning! I’m unsure if this is a factory color or not though. Would it be scorch red? I thought scorch red was a little lighter.... I’d really appreciate any help ID’ing this beautiful color! I’d love to...

I definitely see it! I do know if I were to pop off the tail lamp assembly on the New Yorker - the cut out isn’t the same. So I was just wondering if the panel itself pops out. I’ve seen them for sale - but I’m not sure wether they were cut out or they can unbolt!

Hello all, as you may or may not know - I've been working on building a custom 1968 Chrysler New Yorker coupe! Many people absolutely love the tail lights on the 68 New Yorker, but personally I the Chrysler 300 tail lights look better! Do the rear tail light panels pop off to be replaced with...
