Answering a often asked question: I made a request post over on PY Forums asking if someone would measure the beltline trim on their 2 door Catalina. I actually got a response. Turns out the trim is the same size. I suspected this was true as the trim part numbers are the same cross border. I suppose wit...

Gang, I'm looking to mount the 3 fender starbursts on my 65, but cannot get in behind to the 2 nuts per emblem. I know I could use 3M double sided mounting tape and probably will, but is there something that one could put in the fender holes, and have the emblem pins push through and lock into?

Could anyone with a factory 65 B V8 take a measure for me of the V8 emblem placement as illustrated. I'm just sticking them on with 3M tape as they have no pins and the fenders have no holes (ex six cylinder car). A = emblem forward edge to the vertical headlamp bezel line, B = emblem lower to the horizontal...

Anyone have a shot of an original 65 (or 66) CP B body for the washer hose routing. More specifically along the cowl and to the pump. Are the hoses retained in any way along the cowl? Thanks, Mark

I'm about to attempt a headliner install on my 65... So It's probably worth to try to document here it in some way. I've never done one, but have just about read everything I can about it on line, have talked to members, and feel I'm semi ready. As with most things I've done for the first time, this is anothe...

Guys, Couple of questions and maybe some help. On a 65 B sedan, are the front reveal clips studded on the top, and screw fastened up the side? Mine are. Could the screw in's be from a previous repair? It all came apart easily regardless. Anyone know a source for these? In actual fact I only need 3 of the hor...

For those with a 67 Grande or GP, it's a well known fact that the setup gets plagued with rattles when the shaft bushings break and fall out. Even when new, I don't think it was a very well designed setup, and new bushings are hard to find. When you lose the bushings, the lift bar shakes and bounces around so...

I still have a lot of work to do, including replacing the new tires (that never rode on the street) they were put on 9 years ago. I'm sure the rubber is not safe even though they show no cracks and were.

Have any of you guys ever rebuilt your own power window motor? The first one I put in my car of the set is pretty slow. I noticed that already when I tested all 4 out on the floor. I'm tempted to take it apart and see if I can improve the power in it. Any ideas? Does it just need a good cleaning?

Hi guys. I have a '66 Grande Parisienne that I picked up last year. I'm finally able to get working back on this project. Just wondering if the Parisienne CS and GP share the same body style?

Hi... So on a 454, should the crank pulley have 3 hole to attach to the balancer or 4 holes? I thought that the BB 396/427/454 were 3 bolts and the small blocks used 4 bolts to attach the crank pulley to the balancer? Anyone have an answer?? Thx in advance

I've got my rear window channel on my 65 pretty much down to metal. At least where the Urethane sealer would be in contact with the channel. Question; Would you leave this narrow strip bare metal?

So over the last 3 years, I've collected up some better tailamp and bezel parts for the 65. As a bonus, the car came with left and right NOS lenses, and a complete right assembly. I have one fairly nice bezel, and two other complete assemblies that are far better than what is in there now. I also have a full w...
