    Trunk seal

    Can anyone share a picture of a properly installed trunk weatherstrip for an early B body? I need to know exactly where to glue it down. I remember that the ends butt up at the bottom. Thanks in advance. John

    1963 Polara bench seat hinge cover

    Does anyone have a '63 Polara with bench seat and chrome hinge covers? I would appreciate seeing a picture or two. There are some on Ebay listed for different years, but I don't see how they would fit.

    Fenders and door

    I purchased pretty nice fenders and doors for my '63 Polara convertible from a desert auto dismantler. The fenders and the driver's door that I took off obviously need attention or I wouldn't have replaced them. Rather than donate to a land fill, if anyone can use these three pieces for their...

    1963 Front bumper filler panel

    I watched a video on Utube about a '63 Dodge being pulled out of a barn after 45 years. The front bumper filler panel was obviously silver in color. My question is, from the factory, was the filler panel painted body color or were they painted some type of silver? Were some cars produced with...

    Is there a source for the Early B body clip nuts that go onto the fender edge before bolting to the inner fender?

    Body stiffening

    Many, many years ago, I used to race my '65. Always looked for ways to stiffen up the body/chassis without using a roll bar/cage. I did the frame connectors welded to the front and rear as well as the floor. Moved the springs in and boxed everything. Never installed front and rear torque boxes...

    Quarter panel patch

    I have been welding in patches on my '63 Polara. I am having one issue. At the front of the rear wheel opening, where the quarter rolls under, I can't tell exactly how far the patch should go. If someone will send or post a picture of an early B front of the wheel opening, from the bottom, I...

    Convertible quarter panel question

    Hoping that someone can tell me about the bracing that goes from the wheel well to the inside of the quarter panel on an early B convertible. Appears to have some type of rubbery material between the brace and the quarter. Is it an adhesive?

    Rear wheelwell differences

    I purchased a pair of rear wheel wells for early B bodies. My '63 convertible seems to have a different shape in the rearmost part. Almost appear to be flattened somewhat. Anybody with a convertible able to confirm or deny this observation on my part? Easy enough to modify if necessary.

    Quarter panel fit

    Hoping that someone can share a close up picture of where the quarter panel and the rocker panel are joined. My '63 overlaps the quarter. I have been finding a lot of poorly done sheetmetal work on this thing. Just need to see what's correct. Thanks in advance

    1963 Polara front fender trim

    Duh, I posted this in the '66 up forum. Here goes. This is probably a question with an obvious answer, but; The '63 Polara (not a 500) that I purchased last year has the left fender moldings boogered up. I managed to get the thin one off and made some modified Ford push clips to secure it. The...

    1962/1963 Windshield washer

    If anyone has pics of an installed 1963 windshield washer setup, stock or modified, I would appreciate any closeups. It appears that the nozzles must fasten below the cowl? Conversion to electric may or may not be realistic. I am late on the original that Bolson6333 had for sale. His pictures...

    Fan Shroud

    I must be doing something wrong or old timer's disease is setting in. Because I'm going to install AC, I'm trying to put a fan shroud on my '63 Polara with a 318 poly engine. Pulled the radiator for cleaning, mounted the 4 shroud brackets. Dry fit the 2 piece shroud. Fit well, even around the...

    Aftermarket AC

    I am looking for some information on aftermarket AC condenser fitment on early B bodies. The underhood stuff is simple but there sure ain't much room under the dash on my '63 Polara. Standard Polara. No console. Most of the ones lister on Ebay are 15.7" X 13.8" X 5.5 " tall. I taped together a...

    Trans cable leak

    The shift cable in my '63 727 is dripping. Doesn't seem to be from the O ring. Looks like someone tried electrical tape without success. I was considering cleaning with brake cleaner, splitting some rubber trans line, use permatex on it, secure with hose clamps. Other than replacing the cable...

    Selling Question

    I am just about ready to list my '63 Dodge Polara convertible. Ebay is expensive but has a lot of viewers. Craigslist is cheap but I am a bit reluctant in having unknown folks at my house (I am wheelchair bound). My question is; are there any reputable, reasonably priced, places to list my '63...

    1963 PCV

    My low miles '63 Polara 318 has, what I believe is the original PCV setup. Thought that I would share the pics of the original, taken apart, cleaned, new valve, painted, and assembled. I know that it appears different than others but based on everything, I do believe that this is correct for the...

    Brake booster

    I would like to add a power brake booster and possibly a dual master. I want to keep the stock drum brakes, though. Anyone have a good early B booster?
