Expert Posts: 2633 Location: Minor Hill, TN | Well Today I won't be able to go in the garage today . The '61 is getting the painted today . I know it has been a long journey on the car. There are times I got frustrated and wanted to call it quits but I hung in there instead and was patient about it . After the car is put back to gather and running again I will be going to the tint shop and getting my windows tinted . I will try to take photos later on but I do not to smell paint fumes | ||

Expert Posts: 2633 Location: Minor Hill, TN | The front fenders are still in primer the hood had to be sanded back down to the metal again cancer on the hood . My dad is going to put car cancer killer on the hood to stop it . After my does what is needed on the hood and premiering it both the hood and the fenders will be painted. He also suggested I replace the battery with a new 1 he told me the 1 I have is 7 years old . it has been a long journey on this car . there were some delays because of a certain car being a royal PITA but I won't mention it . It was a mopar but it was not a forward look . | ||

There are times I wish they took my other '61 had both cars parked next to each other for a photo and I even told them they could take it. its the best photo I can locate. This is the brake pedal I am talking about . When you locate it will you please give me the price plus shipping and I will send it PayPal Edited by 1961plymouthfury 2020-10-06 1:42 AM (999705_10201747930966979_740059078_n.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 999705_10201747930966979_740059078_n.jpg (104KB - 294 downloads) | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 403 Location: California | 57burb - 2020-10-05 12:43 PM I have no idea what is "correct" on your Fury, but I did find these on eBay. Is one of them what you are looking for? https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Mopar-3036-brake-pedal-pad-1957-1961-Ch... https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Mopar-1820005-brake-pedal-pad-1957-1961... The 61 Plymouth brake pedal is the same as the 1960. It has the same “dot” pattern as the accelerator pedal,and will say “power brake” across the top on cars equipped with power brakes. I have seen them on eBay in the past. The style in the first eBay link you posted was used on 57-59 Dodge & DeSotos,I believe the style in the second link was used on Chryslers | ||

Expert Posts: 2196 Location: Muskego, WI | I have two of these, both of mine came out of manual brake cars (1960 Plymouths). Is this what you're after? If so, send me a PM. This is dirty, but I think it would clean up well with some Goop hand cleaner. Can't do much about the wear on the corners.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 403 Location: California | It’s amazing how much thought went into the design if these cars. Even the brake have a modernistic design with each end rising on the top forming a “chevron” in the center. They appear to have started using that design in 1957 and kept it until 1961 at least. | ||

Veteran Posts: 210 Location: Suwanee, GA | Looking great! Your dad is to be commended. Your shop lighting, the sunlight coming in from the outside, and possibly your camera flash are contributing to less than stellar photos. Can't wait to see it out in the sunlight. | ||

Expert Posts: 2633 Location: Minor Hill, TN | I was wondering does any one here have a spare spring for the inner door handle for my '61 ? When I pull the handle back to open the door from the inside it will not return back to were it needs to be .I was told by my father the spring is broken. | ||
