New to The Mopar world. Grew up around small block Chevy's. Just purchased my first Mopar, a project 65' Newport. Plan on it being a budget build with doing most the work myself in the garage.

Location: Long Beach, CA

pomonamissel, mild build. Probably won't do much to the outside. Clean up the chrome. Going to spend time on the reliability factor. I bought it without the engine and trans so I have a fresh start there. I'm thinking reliable 440 if there's such a thing.lol All new suspension parts, disc brakes up front re-due the rear. I'm contemplating running stock wheels with the hub caps and a good set of tires. Not sure yet. Interior wise...it's got a new upholstered front seat and head liner so I'm just going to do the carpet kit and new backseat.
