Hi, my name is Frank and I'm a new member in this Forum, although I was already reading as a guest for a long time.
I'm 50 years old, living in Germany close to Stuttgart and own a 1966 Chrysler 300 since 2001.
This car came from San Diego to Germany in 1990. It sat for 10years in a barn in Fürstenfeldbruck before I found it for sale on the internet.
Since I own the car, it needed a new power steering box, brake liners and all new brake cylinders, to get it run and drive. Over the years I tried to improve as much as possible for the budget available. I spend a new set of Magnum 15x7 / 15x8 wheels, new seat covers and carpet, new ignition system, intake and carburetor,..... This year I did a complete front end repair and replaced all bushings and joints, put a disc brake kit on the front and replaced the gear box a second time with a Borgeson quick ratio box. Now again, I will change the wheels, because the Magnums did not like the disc brakes... looking forward what comes next. I like this Forum, because I always found useful tips how to fix problems and how to improve my ride. Now I hope I can give some of my knowledge and 17 years of experience back if I see It could help. i need to apologize for my jolty englisch. Reading through this forum helps me to improve my language skills as well.
Regards,
Frank
