A Reminder of Where We Began

So did you think we gave up on this restoration? No way is that going to happen! We're still at it and thankfully making some progress.

One nice piece of news to report is that we made a sweet deal on two used A-727 transmissions. We really didn't need another transmission until RHM, Jr. robbed parts from the one we had for this 68 Charger to get his 65 Chrysler New Yorker wagon rolling again. Some guys need to be watched closely!!!!!

The order of business lately has been to work on the hundreds of small parts needing attention before reassembly begins. We have been concentrating on those parts need to reassemble the exterior after the body has been painted.

Here are links to four short slide shows which show the parts we have been working on.

One last thing.........If any of you MOPAR Gearheads out there in cyberspace happen to know where we can get a good deal on the entire lower passenger side stainless chrome for a 65 Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country 9 passenger station wagon please let RHM, Jr. know. His e-mail address is: rhmitch@cmaaccess.com.

We are fairly sure the front fender and front door stainless from any 65 New Yorker slab side will fit. It's the rear door trim piece and that long 1/4 panel trim piece we expect to be hard to find.

Until next time, be safe and prosper!
