Swapping Stub Frames – Advice
FINALLY getting to swapping out the old, rotted stub with a replacement. If you followed my thread a few years ago (COVID Chrysler), two things the automotive students were doing was rebuilding my brakes w/ new lines and installing a new front suspension kit.
Now, I’m looking to swap everything over. My question; are there any shortcuts I can take since the suspension has been rebuilt? I’m looking to take as little apart as possible and bolt it right onto the new stubframe. If…

Window trim removal trick? ’72 Newport
Good afternoon everyone,
Is there a trick to removing the stainless steel trim around the window? I’ve undone the screw that is in the end of it toward the back but nothing is moving at all. Before I crank on it and break something, are there more screws or are they stubborn clips? I’ve already removed the rubber and undone the screws that line the top of the door jamb.

Replacing stock speakers in my ’72 Newport
Good morning everyone,
One of the winter projects I wanted to tackle with my ’72 Newport Royal coupe was to swap out the dry rotted factory speakers so my tunes aren’t coming out of the bluetooth speaker sitting on the dash, connected to my phone. I’m guessing any 6×9 or 6×8 will work for the rear but what is the configuration in the front of the car? What have people used successfully? I searched previous threads but didn’t really find a clear speaker configuration up front with specific…
