Poly is short for "polychromatic", which is a fancy way of saying metallic.

My dad told me a story about the '67 Sport Fury convertible he used to have. Right after he got it, he went to put the top down. He didn't know that you're supposed to unzip the zipper around the glass first, and that it rests separately inside the well. Top went down and POP went the glass. I...

Here's his business card if anyone is interested. Great guy to deal with.

I got in touch with Wayne Young "The Lugnut King" who is a long-time vendor at southern Ontario swap meets. He set me up with a set of 15" x 2.5" deep chromed stainless trim rings for $135 CDN. He was going to be in the area this morning on his way up north so we met-up and I bought them from...

I have a set of the correct 1966 Chrysler dog dish caps like your first photo and my wheels are powdercoated black.

Thanks Ross, I was going to get polished ones, and I think I prefer the squared-off front face that was usually used on Mopars, not the rounded style that a lot of generic ones (and 80's GM Rallye wheels) have. I looked on Amazon before and a lot of the ones on there have bad reviews. I just...

I want to change-up the look of my Windsor a bit by running Chrysler dog-dish hubcaps with trim rings. I'm running 15x7 standard steel wheels (not police wheels nor Rallyes). I need to buy the trim rings. I see there are different depths of trim rings available. There are some 3" deep ones...

If you're talking about the piece that the yellow arrows are pointing to, here are the clips for it. This is on a '66 Chrysler.

This link is the best guide I've found to answer that question. https://fcagroup.pl/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Early-Chrysler-standardization.pdf Based on this, your '62 is a "1st generation unibody", which precedes the C-body.

I highly recommend reading the article linked-to from this thread. Why does bodywork and painting cost so much? We break it down It basically says to figure out your expectations going in, decide what work you're comfortable doing yourself and what you want to leave to a shop. Then use those...

Since this thread was brought back up, I'm interested to hear why you won't use the Costco micro-fiber cloths on painted surfaces? I have a bag of those too, so would like to know if there's something I should be mindful of. Thanks

I thought it was a very balanced and informative article. They describe what levels of perfection can be achieved and approximately how long it will take to get there. Knowing this, it's up to you to decide what level you're targeting. Then you can have a clear discussion when getting bodywork...

As they say in the article, it depends on what level of restoration you want, and you should sort this out with the shop before selecting a shop, getting an estimate and beginning the work. I wish I'd seen an article like this when I was looking for a restoration shop, but fortunately I am happy...

The guy that did the paint on my hardtop highly recommends Presta Spray 'N Shine. He even gave me a bottle when I picked my car up from him. Spray 'N Shine™

Well I did a search before starting this thread here and elsewhere on the internet, but I didn't see my specific question answered anywhere. Folks are not paying attention and answering the wrong question. I am satisfied with the results I'm seeing on my trim using the red compound on my bench...

I read somewhere that the door sill plates aren't anodized, but that could be inaccurate. I don't know. I will wantto polish mine too, when I get them down from my garage rafters to reinstall. I think someone else on this forum recommended the services of this company for restoring trim. I have...

Thanks. I already have a bench-mount buffer so I'm good there. I used it with the green compound to put a mirror finish on all my s/s trim. Sanded the s/s trim with fine sandpaper first to remove existing scratches, then finished with the buffing wheel. I figure I was going at a rate of 1 foot...

I've been sorting through the anodized aluminum trim I've collected and I have most of what I need for my car. A lot of pieces are straight and fairly free of dents and scratches, but are dull and some have paint overspray on them. Can I safely clean these up on my bench-buffer using extra fine...

I'm pretty sure that the 66 300 rear window is smaller than the Newport. It doesn't go all the way to the edges of the C-pillars, and it doesn't go all the way down to the bottom of the rear deck. The 66 300 used a unique roofline, which was not the same as a 65 300. I think they may have...

Welcome to the site! From your avatar picture it appears your car is a 2-door hardtop. Sorry but no, your 300 rear window is very different (smaller) than the 1966 Newport rear window. If you can't find a correct one, perhaps you could buy the Newport gasket, cut it down to size and glue it...
