While looking for the hyd cylinder top yokes for my '63 Ply (WTB post is up), came across some anti-rattle clips listed for '63-70 mopars. Piqued my curiosity since I've hunted down rattling gremlins in the top before without much luck. Thought it could be the shocks or exhaust; but after some...

Looking for any tricks that members have done to keep body trim pieces tight. The hood and deck trim on my 63 Fury are loose and have tried a few things, having some success on a few other pieces using nylon nuts and rubber hose. Hassle has included finding those small enough. The OEM pal-nuts...

Has anyone here had a custom vert top installed? This is about the color and maybe the material. Think it's not too common, but have seen it on a few cars. I'm thinking of a gray top and maybe vinyl rather than the typical canvas fabric for my '63 Plymouth. Had some hassles I posted about on...

Ok, straight forward enough about putting on new decals; in my case got 4x4 decals for my new truck box. Want to ask if there are nifty tips from those having done this to reduce my odds of screwing it up. I know where they should be placed measuring this out from my old box. Any application...

Asking if anyone has installed aftermarket fender flares on their pickups. Reason is its been a bust for me so far. After putting on new fenders, rust-free box, and new paint, decided to give the truck a different look with fender flares. Can't tell ya how long it took me to figure out the...

Found an incredibly clean bed for my truck. The underside still has the original primer and paint on it clean as can be. I'd like to put a protective rust preventive coating on it (and have it be black (it's red) but many of the products such as POR, do not advise putting it on painted...

Unusual question: Anyone hear of a baking soda spray application for cleaning aluminum parts? This is to guard against pitting while accomplishing a good cleaning. I've not heard of anything like this; the hassle involved is cleaning btw the fins on a bike motor. Thanks!

Rather than hunt down my earlier post I'm tossing a new one to run an idea by you or if anyone has tried this. My convert top header seal (aftermarket) on my '63 Plymouth is **** compared to the OEM that's no longer to be had. The new seal cost $100 and the corners are thinner than the...

A buddy got a new windshield for his vintage ride and has tried endlessly to get whatever it is off. It almost appears as a fine overspray of paint; no way this coulda happened as windshield was put in after painting. Tried all sorts of cleaners, razor blades, even lacquer thinner. No luck...

I see all sorts of products that say they can remove scratches from SS. Before I go off on an exploration with bad results, thought I'd ask fellow forum folks what they found worked best. Thanks!

After a lot of sifting thru the net decided I should ask if anyone has done this work. The seal is really deteriorated and I got a new seal thru forum member. The new one though looks thinner than the old one especially at the corners and above vent windows. Not my first encounter with...

Seems that few things have gone without a hitch on my Fury restoration! Latest is the new top installation by a top shop that's been in biz for 30 years and came recommended. The top doesn't appear to fit properly at all. The top guy said "older Chrysler tops are a nightmare to work on"...

my '63 Fury has large ridged aluminum panels on the rear. I had posted earlier about ideas on replacing some broken retainer studs now working on this. The other panel I'm trying to brighten up before I paint the channels these panels are likely anodized. Reading up on restoring there are a...

Looking for some possible solutions to restore some of the trim on my '63 Fury notably the rear aluminum panels, I came across paint pens. The panel as you see in the photo will require a hell of a lot of intricate masking to restore the black paint that once resided in the bottom channels if...

My '63 Fury has decorative aluminum panels on the rear. Some of the 3/16" studs are broke and trying to come up with a way to repair thinking t-studs or carriage studs would do the trick. My concern though is finding an adhesive or epoxy that would bond the studs to the panel. Searching the...

I'm working to refurbish the interior skeleton and trunk in my '63 Fury. I've spent hours on prepping it removing old tar coating. What a job and only have left quarter near prep for coating so far! I have some areas in the section prepped that are appreciably surface rusted and clean sections...

Looking for anyone in the know about the brackets I've photo'd. The inside quarters are coated with rubberized or tar-like undercoating and some areas have appreciable surface rusting so scraping off coating to expose the metal. My plan is to apply a rust inhibitor such as "Extend" or similar...

I'm taking off all the trim/chrome on my '63 for repaint and came across the access for the fender emblems. Wow, they're pal-nuts! Geez, a press fit attach would have made sense. Unless I'm a skinny dude around 110lbs, which I'm not, any ideas on how to remove them? Or really...have to like...

Looking for any words of wisdom before I start taking all the trim off my Fury in prep for a re-paint. The shop that is going to do the work said I could save around $1200 or so if I take it off and put it back on. Ya never realize just how much trim and chrome is on a car until you think...

I've been exploring methods to renovate the interior and trunk body (interior) to clean it up and then apply some type of coating that provides preservation, water protection and maybe some sound deadening while I'm at it. The carpet has gotten pretty soaked when driving in rain so assume there...
