Very useful thread when I tackle a replacement this winter, can someone explain why they have 3 different adapter settings and different pinions? Why did they not just go with one pinion and adapter for all or is it due to engine size or is it something to do with the speedometer clusters...

Kudos to you, major endeavor, my little restoration is nothing compared to what you will do to bring her back, you are a skilled man, all the best! PT

Ayilar thanks for adding to this post, wheel well moldings, front hood molding and front fender extension moldings went back on. You might look at the car and go "geese" it looks the same but in a different color but a lot had to be done for a safety. The hood and wheels are a distraction, once...

Imagine driving a 19.5 foot car in Venice when you have 40 to 50 Vespas buzzing around you at a roundabout! It was wild enough with my mother-in-law's BMW, CRAZYYY!

Fewwwfff! Glad that's not your real picture in the avatar

Every one of them we boarded were no trouble, we had a lady involved with Dane Rescue Canada, not sure if that's the proper name but she had 3 of them and boarded them frequently. She would pull up to the kennel with her Dodge Caravan, open the side door and all 3 would fly out as they loved...

To your dismay Big John, here are a few pics of the floors re done, I didn't bother to grind down the welds seeing that it will be covered with rocker guard, then foil / butyl sound deadener and carpet. As you say it's my car but I do respect you opinion. Just to let you know, when I read your...

I sure like the wheels it had back then!

funny thing is, I'm just brousing some now, lots to consider, size, back spacing. I think 17" rims would be the right size, yes the 20"s I got with the car are too much but will have to do for now. Those Mopar rallye wheels sure look nice.

Ayilar, maybe you can add some old pics of the Polara when Widdowmakker had her, I think you posted them at one time. Thanks PT

Thanks Ayilar, progress but not complete, just happy to have her back on the road, lots of time to tinker, winter is coming!

Cragars are in the cards for Ellie May's future, a nice wood grain steering wheel also. She's not quite there where I want her to be but we're getting closer!

Hi all, well it's been a year since I got her and she's gone through a bit of a transformation. My 70 Polara convertible was raped and mistreated and as mentioned in my original post I had intentions of bringing her back to some respectability. Items removed consist of, rotten floors, Monte...

Thanks for the info, the moldings are a bit different, close but no cigar, final sections or last quarter of them have different final arcs, good thing I got the Monaco moldings for a song, if it looks like what I have in mind won't work I won't do it. It will have to wait, busy McGivering our...

If I cannot find Polara moldings I may make a wooden jig with the contour of the Polara quarter panel and see if the Monaco moldings can be modified. As mentioned in my opening, the arc of the molding I refer to is the last quarter of the molding on the quarter panel. The last quarter on the...

I am having difficulty locating rear wheel well moldings for my 70 Polara vert, I do however have a nice pair of 71 Monaco wheel well moldings. Ayilar replied to my WANTED post saying they will be hard to find Has anyone attempted to modify similar wheel well moldings in order to get them to...

Stick with it, step back some times, fix another part of the car that needs attention. The Polara I bought last October is like an onion, peeling back layers discovering new issues but in it for the long haul. I haven't come across anything I won't tackle myself yet, knock on wood! When I got...

Don't give up, give it time , all the best! PT
