New to the forum, and looking to connect with a few like minded gear heads.
I’m a “big and long” kind of car guy. Furys, Coronets, 300s...that kind of thing.
Current project is a ‘67 Coronet 440 4 door.
318, three speed auto...nothing to really brag about...except that it’s a (mostly rust free) classic MOPAR and not a bargain bin, piece together, everyone can do it mustang-camero-nova.
Now I know what you’re thinkin’...4 doors is 2 too many.
You may be right. But that’s my preference. Easier to get kids into a 4 door than a 2 door.
Parts for a 4 door though...THAT’S a challenge! But I’ve got plans for a one of a kind road rumbler.
Up to this point it’s been all safety work. New brakes all around, re-wiring lights, fixing the slushy steering box, replacing the ignition system...you know, run, stop, be seen kind of stuff.
Now that it runs, steers, and stops correctly, it’s time to focus on making it look the part.
I’ve uploaded a few shots of the car as it was when I picked it up a couple of years ago, as well as a couple of teaser shots of the newly finished front end. Hopefully I can manage to keep it going and regularly update the progress.
So...glad to be here, and look forward to sharing some tips, tricks, and stories.
