Fumes inside car

My 1966 Newport keeps getting fumes inside when I have the top up and I can't figure out why. Any help as to how to fix this problem?

Thanks,

Franco

Are we talking raw gas or burnt gas (exhaust fumes)?
Check the integrity of the entire fuel line (including the carb) for the former and the entire exhaust system and floor boards for the latter.

If it is the fumes you are referring too???? You may need to extend the exhaust tip further out beyond the rear bumper?
In you photos I couldn't see how far the exhaust tips came out past the bumper??

Had the exhaust checked yesterday and all is good with that. Thanks for the advice.

I was telling my wife that may be the answer. Thanks!

You mite just try add an extension and see it that helps the issue... Something with a downward cut and extended past the bumper... And then try shorting it up to the face of the bumper and iff if the problem stays away... Keep us posted.... Mopar on Brotha !!!
