Rebuilding my 1966 Plymouth Sport Fury...

[Codurty McLeathers]

Hello everyone.. stoked to be here. A few years back I purchased a 1966 Plymouth Sport Fury. White, with black vinyl top,( now stripped off, it was garbage!) and Gold interior. 318 Poly, which is currently being completely rebuilt by GRC Racing in San Diego. I have had the trans, 727, completely rebuilt by SD Transmissions. I have had Legendary Interiors make a factory spec gold set of bucket, and the bench, which where just recently installed. I just received my front disc conversion from Summit Racing, and am looking forward to installing them. Oh... and I just had a new Windshield installed, purchaced through Classic... Long story kinda short, the car was a bit of a basket case, not as rough as some, but definetly not what I thought I was getting... But I Love My Fury... bottom line. I have purchased an owners manual, and try to do most things myself, or with the help of local Mopar friends. My most pressing current issue...I am wanting to replace the slides and pin on my drivers window. I already purchased the parts, but am not 100 percent sure just how far I need to go. Do I take the door apart? Or is there a way to remove the wing, and thus put the pin and slides on the main window?

Welcome and congrats on your project.

In my '66 Chrysler factory service manual, there is a graphic of how it all assembles. I suspect the same graphic would be in the other similar full-size Plymouth and Dodge factory service manuals, too. www.mymopar.com (might need to manually input that address) for a free download of those manuals, Chrysler parts books, and the complete Chrysler MasterTech video library. For other specific information, www.hamtramck-historical.com "Library".

In order to install the slides and pins, I suspect you'll need to separate the glass from the regulator, then remove the glass. Should be covered in the FSM.

Please keep us posted on your progress,

Thanks! I have the Manual, it just gets a bit confusing as it covers 4 model cars in one book. There are prett clear diagrams, but this is literally the first car, classic or otherwise, that I have worked on, so I think it's a little hard for me to read between the lines. The research I have done, tells me I need to take the door apart, to access the the full window, and wing, and to effectively remove the wing, and replace my slides and pin. I went by today and tried to look again ( the car is in a rented garage, not at my home) but the way to separate the door panels was not very obvious. I started the removal of the weatherstripping on the door, where the door and body meet, but got gun shy as it seems like the weatherstrip is held on with clips. Need to do more reading
