Back in June I drove 5 hours from Chicago to St Louis to go get my 67 Coronet. I gotta tell ya, its feels good to own your dream car! That whole ride home with it on the trailer, what a fun trip! I started on it right away repairing the rust on the passenger side quarter panel and then with the floor boards. Then just continued to disassemble it and mark every nut n' bolt! The body took me forever to get just right and I can really say I tried my best. I sure think its turning out to be a nice hotrod for a 17 year old to do it...

Its funny, the thing that did it was the one guy I work with. He got me into this whole Mopar craze. On the last day of my Junior year he let me bring his Coronet to school, it had a 440. Thats all she wrote.

Nice job on the resto. It's lookin great. Thanks for the pics.
 
I like the sleeper color your chose. Looking good, and can tell you spend a lot of late night sanding that beast.
 
I remember looking at a 67 RT that was for sale maybe ten years ago... same gold color. That sure was a nice car but I didn't end up buying it.

great job and a great looking car too
 
Thanks, and ya this is the first car I've ever painted. I had a ton of practice of course in the Auto Classes at school :)
 
I hope you are very proud of yourself because you should be. It is a great feeling when you do it all yourself isn't it.
 
Wow very nice,give yourself a pat on the back
 
Nice job on the Coronet!

Great save, love the gold too, has a great vibe going! Kudos! best wishes!
 
Thank you all for the complements on the car! Hopefully I can get it running by the racing season!
 
Update!! 440 put back together, pretty much a stock setup but I have that Hughes whiplash cam in it, Edelbrock Tm7 Intake, 700cfm Double Pumper Holley on there, and a pair of swap meet 20 dollar headers! Got that 6T MSD box in it too, ebay 50 bucks!!! Those deals are definitely out there!!

Nice work! That's a great color!
 
Nice car. Turned out great.

What did you do to address those floor boards that were surface rusted? Mine look like that as well. I don't know if I'm comfortabe sand blasting them, although I have the equipment.
 
i like it that golds a nice choice my first mopar was a 67 coronet and after seeing yours makes me wish i still had it keep up the good work.
