    Before I hurt myself or cause more damage....

    ... I’m sure someone knows what to do here! I understand the spring with unwind if I simply remove the motor. How do I need to secure that spring or the components it is holding... Thanks in advance.

    Generic question, but applies to 60 Fury....

    ...I have wheel skirts that need new seals. I got suitable welting, but I need some help attaching it. Right now the perished welting is stapled in. See pic. I’ve pulled a couple of staples. Not salvageable. I’m worried a screw would have a profile that won’t let the skirt mate properly and...

    How would you clean this aluminum trim?

    60 Fury grill. Dirty. Dull. Can’t get fingers in those deep recesses. There must be an easy chemical or abrasive solution that doesn’t require elbow grease and torn up fingers...

    Happy news! My woodgrain arrived.

    I ended up getting it from the stripeman in Jacksonville. All in all, I'm impressed. The color looks good. The grain is sharp looking not fuzzy. I hung two big pieces to see if the patterning is obvious. At 20' feet you don't see any repeat in the pattern. That is good. I'll get a number for...

    I learned something really cool yesterday

    As I was polishing the horns off my 77 wagon bumper, I was afraid to pull off the rubber strips as I didn't want to risk stripping the bolts out. As it happens, as I was hitting the chrome with some Tripoli rouge, I also ran up against the rubber block. Turns out the polishing wheel and a...

    Trying to dismantle 77 door handles for rechrome

    the handles are tired and hard to find replacements. I was thinking of taking it apart and getting it chromed. Asi look at it, I'm thinking I will need to punch out those retaining 'plugs' and I'm afraid I won't get them reassembled right. Has anyone done this before? Inside of the plug...

    Anyone know how to disassemble a remote mirror?

    i got a complete right hand remote set up, but the housing is crap. I have the old housing from the butchered mirror but I will be darned if I can figure out how this is assembled. It doesn't look like the mirror is at all removeable.... but it must be!

    Anyone know what this part is called?

    I'm referring to the rubber tube like thing used to hold letters and badges on. I figure if I get the name I can search online. Or may er there is a better way to attach things like this?

    77 Town and Country resto update

    Car has been stripped and just got primed. We took off the hood and will paint as much of the fenders and firewall that we can. The only surprises so far are how hard the vinyl was to remove (heat did not work) and there was a pile of stress cracks in the hood when we pulled off the insulation...

    How do you spot aluminum from stainless trim?

    I'm polishing the trim on my 77 wagon. Some is responding nice to wet sand and buff like I expect ss to do - windshield trim, a piece of beltline. Then I have some pieces that are just scratching on the wet sand and not buffing out, like aluminum. It's pretty thin metal. I'm pretty sure it is...

    Any experience here in getting custom parts made?

    for almost a month I have been looking for the elusive front cross bars for my 77 T&C roof rack. There are no NOS parts. Everyone beat me to them. There are no repops. There aren't any for any parts! (But carpet and upholstery. Sort of). I have found three people with parts cars with 'very good...

    What is the safe way to remove this hood and hinges?

    FSM gives me the order of removal, but not what goes 'boing' when I try to unload those torsion bars. I searched but didn't find anything anywhere. Must be easier than I think.

    77 T&C resto round 2 - removing door trim....

    I got the rear quarter window trim removal sorted out, but I can't figure out the trim on the doors. Pretty eloborate and thus likely simple! It is the trim around the window and It looks like it must just pry out but from where? The bottom trim is somehow mounted differently yet to the door...

    78 T&C Resto starts today - with removing roof rack and trim...

    I am hoping someone here has removed a roof rack and can give me what the watch out for. I have this sense that there will be a pile of dried out plastic and rubber fittings holding it in that I will never be able to replace. Also, any pointers on removing Window trim - especially those big...
