In the rough the New Yorker was in need of some body repair, mostly smoothing out old repairs to the 1/4 panels and right side. I stripped the interior out to the bare floor and replaced the headliner and vinyl top. The seats and carpet were in pretty good shape, all was needed was replacing the inserts in the drivers bucket seat. I re-died the carpet since it was in very good shape just faded. All of the trim was removed before I started on the body work, the rear bumper was also removed to get access to the trim screws on the rear. Door panels, handles and key locks also were removed.  There was some repair needing to be done to the electric window to get them working correctly . After I got in the doors I found that someone had been there before and removed regulators and motors and propped the glass up with a board. I was able to find some of the parts on ebay to get all but one of the window working. Still need a left rear 1/4 glass regulator and motor and some power door lock pieces.

I took a ton of pictures while working on the car in the last year but can't seem to find them??  

Skipping right ahead to having the paint applied to the New Yorker. The body was stripped and the dents and dings where straightened and fill with plastic {aprox. 60 hours of work} and primed and blocked before the paint and clear coat was sprayed. We use PPG paint products DBC Base coat and Urethane clear for the top coat.

I spent the last few days polishing stainless and installing trim, then I could finish installing the headliner and sail panels, package tray interior panels and the seats. 

rear seat.

What next? install the rear glass & window trim, polish wheels, fix a transmission & pinion seal leak and more detailing and finally  get insurance and tags and go for a test drive. All I have done to the engine so far has been to install a set of spark plugs and a little carb work. It is getting close for that first test drive. I can hardly wait!!
