I have a 1971 U-code ex cop car from florida in storage here, real basket case. (440HP motor was sold before the car was purchased.)

Over the Winter I purchased a NOS set of stainless door edge guards and when I get the car home....they will accent the "Window Vent Shades" if I remember the correct name.
Been a while so I'll update. I've been spending many spare hours over the span of 2yrs working in my troop car. Refinished the underside from the rear valance to the bulkhead at the rear floor. Rebuilt my police spring packs, refinished most of the original hardware, had suspension brackets, rear housing, and other related items powder coated. Sent my pumpkin to a local drivetrain mechanic. Car WAS 3.23 open rear, now has new 3.23 gearset AND Dr.Diff suregrip differential. All new bearings, seals, rebuilt rear drum brakes, new stainless rear axle line.

Welcome from Virginia! Like the squad car. Very cool that you're restoring it. Realize this is an old thread, so maybe I should say welcome back. Anyway cool pictures
Thanks my friend! It's a labor of love!

Agree! Every Plymouth fury is a labor of love. I own 1970, 1971, 1972 Plymouth Fury cars. Love each of them. The 1970 is a white convertible. I took my family to the beach in it today with the top down. There's just nothing like the looks you get and the comments you get driving your family to the beach. Of course, it's a lot of fun for my wife and children too.
That's what it's all about!

When you refurbished the vapor separator tank, did you have to clean out the inside? Mine is plugged. Wondering if I can spray a can of carb cleaner into it and let it sit. Thanks
Hey sorry just seeing this now. My separator tank was in very bad shape and the output orifice tube (that runs to the passenger side valve cover breather) was clogged. It was scaled out inside, so i filled it with evaporust. Well after a week, a pinhole developed in it. I ended up cutting the back off of it. Then I removed the orifice tube with a small torch. Tried soaking it in muriatic acid, didn't do anything. Used a small drill bit to clear it out. Gave the opened up tank a quick bath in muriatic acid to remove a majority of the scale. Then washed up in baking soda in water. Spent about an hour with a flashlight finding any pin holes and solder them up. Followed up with POR15 gas tank sealer kit. Sealed up everything nicely even the insides of the tubes. Soldered brand new 22 gauge metal to cover the cutout. I put a patch on the inside of the tank and the outside as well. With the orifice tube now clear and other tubes as well, i plugged all but 1 tube and applied vacuum with a mityvac to see if it would hold a vacuum, which it did.
Painted it with Eastwood's Tank tone.
If you have any questions just let me know, be happy to help!
I'll post some pictures
