    WTB FRONT WINDSHIELD MOLDING CLIPS

    I was under the impression that you could replace the larger ones with the smaller ones, and they would work fine...? I've never been able to find the larger ones new, but I put the smaller ones on my '64 Polara (it didn't have any on it when I got it), and the trim clipped in fine. I suppose it...

    LED Tail lights

    Yeah, the front sockets are always in bad shape. I was debating about trying to get the '63 and '64 housings reproduced (which wouldn't be an easy or cheap project) because people are always looking for good ones, especially on '63's. I probably can't swing that any time soon... What I've done...

    LED Tail lights

    Yep! Our kit uses red-colored LED 1157's for the tail/brake lights (if you use white, the lights look pink or orange...), white 1157's for the front turn signal/marker lights, and 1156's for the reverse lights. And, the kit includes the proper flasher unit. You could install our entire kit in...

    Heater Control Vacuum Switch Question?

    On my '64 Polara with air, you don't turn the A/C on with the push-button switches; its controlled by the actual knob on the dash that controls the blower fan. It has a "heat" and "cool" direction you can turn it. I just assumed the pushbutton controls were the same for all cars! That wiring...

    65 Coronet hardtop weather strip install help

    On my '64 hardtop there is one screw that secures the front to the pillar, and then some adhesive too.

    LED Tail lights

    Every little bit helps with these old cars. On the Polara, there is about a 1 volt drop just in the old wiring harness from battery voltage. The brightness of LED bulbs doesn't drop off with lower voltage like an incandescent, but the more you can do to help the better. I always try to clean up...

    LED Tail lights

    Here are some pics of them illuminated; it looks little more dramatic because it's dark out, but they seriously are pretty bright even with the lower voltage these older cars run. This pics were with the engine off, so just straight battery voltage. I did clean up and repaint the inside of the...

    LED Tail lights

    We sell a kit that uses Sylvania LED bulbs and comes with a heavy duty LED flasher unit. I've got the kit in my '64 Polara and '64 Fury. Kit includes tail/brake light bulbs (2 or 4 depending on car), reverse lights, and front parking light bulbs. The Sylvania bulbs are of much better quality...

    63 Ply Spt Fury Power window motors

    Yeah, there's not a lot of support there! My '64 Fury has power windows, and I'm also in the process of restoring switches/motors. I found a company local to me that rebuilds electric motors, starters, and alternators and they said they were confident they could rebuild the "motor" part of the...

    Warning About Legendary Headliners Sold by Classic Industries

    Correct! I can get tons of parts for later B-bodies (and lots of other cars, really), but I just can’t afford to stock stuff for everything and competition for the later B’s is rough. I know the early B’s, so that’s what I do most. But we have the full line from Legendary, Trim Parts, The Right...

    Warning About Legendary Headliners Sold by Classic Industries

    I’m saying that if you are a site member and PM me with what you are looking for, I’ll save you some money... Manufacturers have pretty strict “advertised” price policies.

    Website Building Advice

    Honestly, I’d never built a website or had ANY experience before I built ours (www.modern-nostalgia.com). It’s all done through Godaddy’s templates, and hosted by them too. I think it turned out pretty well, it obviously has ecommerce abilities, and was so smooth to set up I couldn’t believe it!
