My new to me 64 Polara

[toolmanmike]

I seem to be on a roll buying a few old (quality) parts lately. I was looking at lower ball joints which are on my to-do list. I used to sell TRW which were top notch. I just bought a chassis parts catalog so I can look the numbers up. I have a TRW Performance parts catalog for engine parts. I also have a few Filko Ignition parts catalogs for all that good stuff.

Hey @icetech, I tried a little trick I heard from you. You used the fuzzy side of Velcro in your window channels. My seals are completely gone and the door glass rattles really bad. I had some white Velcro (wrong color but just an experiment) I cut a couple of 2" long pieces and stuck them in the channel and rolled the window up. Rattle 99% gone! Just a test that worked.

awesome... And i think i got that trick from Khryslerkid... i can't stand doors that rattle when they close, if you do the whole channel make sure to use something to hold the velcro really tight in place while the adhesive sets up, my drivers one gets hard to roll up bout 3/4 of the way

I drove around and took some fall pics yesterday. The ol' girl makes me smile.

Have you found some black paint for that air cleaner yet?

Not correct but I don't mind the orange. I don't want it to look like a pumpkin.

If you can walk away from it, and not turn around for another look, you've got the wrong car! Looks great!

Has anyone used these on their early B?

I paid $2500 for my 64 earlier this year. 383/727 8 3/4. The guy completely rebuilt everything except the interior and body, but it wouldn't crank. It sat for 7 years. He finally gave up and wanted it gone. I bought it and found the connector between the shifter cable and the rooster comb wasn't installed. No gear changes are possible without it, so no way to activate the neutral safety switch. A&A Transmission in Ohio had one. Drive it all the time.

If you decide to do an interior, I'm really happy with the seat covers I got from Legendary. Mine is the bench seat. Yours looks to be the 500 with the front buckets.

Home made upholstery not done too bad. The seats are uncomfortable and the upholstery is thick and stiff. I may buy seat foam and upholstery and next year get the door panels. Your's looks great.
