My New Toy!!
I think I have A.A.D.D. (Auto Attention Deficit Disorder) I can't seem to finish one project without starting two or three more. I got my '65 about 80% done... (or done enough), started working on my boat, got it about 80% done, and now I picked up another project. Something must be wrong with me.
Anyhoo.... my new one is a '67 Newport, looks like it has been parked for years, runs and drives like it should, interior is pretty good, the body is ...uh... presentable. I'ts a "20 footer." I just had to scrub it up and put some of my "garage art" wheel covers on it, I think it's gonna make a nice cruiser.

Big Block... 383, runs suprisingly good for a 2 barrel single exhaust car. I've got a good 4 barrel intake and carb in my parts stash just wating to go on.

A lot of possibilities for that one, lowered torque thrust ll, wide whites lowered with a set of big cruiser skirts. Wide whites with lancer hubcaps, the list could go on, and on. Nice car, and you can't have too many projects, or at least I don't think so that's mostly what I have old projects.
Good luck whichever way you go with it.

The whole process of having 3 or 4 projects going at a time sounds perfectly normal to me....... Nice find on the New Yorker, great old car!!!!

Thanks for letting me brag,
I'm kinda proud of it. I've already put some wheelcovers on it that I like, lowered the front about 1-1/2 or so.... I think I'll just fix a couple spots in the interior and call it done. .......maybe...... I can't seem to leave anything alone....

YOu could go razza style..
raise the front, lower the rear, gold paint with blue and green accents on body lines, wire wheels, hydraulics...
ok.. I just made enemies...
Y'all going to have to learn to tell when...
I'M KIDDING!!!
nice car. I really like the concave body lines on the sides..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Awesome, I will put 5 quarts in when the time comes. I've always used Valvoline, what viscosity would be recommended for So.Cal.?, and thanks again
