Front door glass removal ’66 Polara
Dsertdog April 6, 2024
I need to remove the passenger door glass on my 66 Polara convertible. The FSM states I have to remove the vent frame and door glass as a unit. I don’t have enough hands.
Is there any way to remove just the vent frame without the window glass? I need to replace the guide shoes and weatherstrip in the front (vent) channel.
Thanks!
Decoding 69 Newport Custom’s Tag
daMoose52 April 5, 2024
I get to play this game now too!! I’m actually pretty excited!
My 1969 Chrysler Newport Custom was my first car in HS back in the late 90s. The frame on it was shot by the late 00s, so I had it stored away, hoping I could do something with it some day. This past year we were able to pick up a 1970 that needs some TLC, so we stripped the 69 down, saved what we could (which was a lot of the trim and interior!) and this spring/summer I want to spruce the 70 up and “clone” my 69 as much as I can…

Nos quarter panel ID
Davews April 5, 2024
Can anyone assist me in id’ing this nos quarter panel? I bought it as a 69 Polara years ago but now that I’m getting close I realize this not a 69. Possibly a 1970 through 73? Part number on the back is 2963736
Any help would be appreciated, Dave

Does the 65 Fury have trunk bumpers or does the trunk just set down on the trunk gasket for support?

Currently fabbing my Polara 500 trunk floor drop downs .I was able to fab the entire piece on the driver’s side except where it mates with the quarter panels wheel opening at the bottom.
(Hard to do since there was nothing left to copy)
Can anyone provide a couple of pics that give me a better idea of how that area looks originally? Thank you !

A bit Rough…

Hey what’s going on everyone my name is Christian and I just got my self a 1968 New Yorker 4 door. I traded a 1956 Bolans ride-a-matic and $400 for it and it’s a bit rough to say the least. I might need the communities help finding parts for her. I will post pictures as I go but as of right now this is how I got her. Please let me know what you guys think.
Thanks!!!
