Just back from 3-week solo up Ho Chi Minh in W. Vietnam. Fun adventure but great life insurance highly recommended!

My 65 auto console mounts with horizontal phillips machine screws and appx 2" fender washers on sides of the front and middle brackets on trans tunnel. Console drops in from top with washers on outside to secure. Two vertical screws inside rear of glove box screw down to flat nuts clipped into...

65 with manual brake fitted together minus dash.

Looks like my Coronet when I bought it 40 years, 500K miles and a rebuild ago for $1K. But it's straighter and I'm still looking for that door trim although I got two of everything else. $10K is the new $1K if you want a really nice Mopar.

Looks like someone drove it and kept it complete until its lost its engine and trans. Very nice car and patina. Someone will buy it if you don't.

Beautiful car VANDAN! Assorted work on my 65 Coronet 500 convertible.

My route was UST sub-frame connectors for that extra flex reduction and HP after patching any metal an awl poked through.

Nice work!

Thanks for sharing your expertise! I'm only familiar 65 and prior and the engine and steering mounts looked lower, farther back and less substantial than mine, but its probably engineered equally as strong or more. I think the steering box could be a stock A-Body manual after searching...

Appreciate your response R. Thank you.

Acquired this K-member this weekend along with disc brakes and spindles that I wanted. It came from a rodded 67 Belvedere but doubt original to that. I did some research on this great site but still don't recognize the steering box or mounts to the 60's and I can't find date stamps or "coins."...

I wish I didn't go overboard on the rebar in the hole before I poured. Nail-biter when it was time to drill the post anchor bolts.

Do you have a Coronet 500 driver-side door trim piece? And a passenger-side inside a-pillar chrome trim as pictured? Thanks.
