    Wheels, axle shortening, spring relocation questions

    I am now starting to add parts and pieces back to my 68 Coronet 500. I wanted to start with the rear wheels since I had lots of questions about my plan to begin with. First off, I LOVE the slotted aluminum wheels since I had them on my 68 Coronet 500 in high school. I appreciate that you may...

    WTB 68 Coronet 500 passenger quarter panel

    I'm looking for the front section of a 68 Coronet 500 quarter panel. (I'm hoping that someone needed the back half and has the front half laying around.) I tried to repair what I have, but it's pretty lousy (better than what it was but....)

    Advice Appreciated: Before I begin restoring my trunk lid

    I've been restoring my 68 Coronet and enjoy the challenge. Now I'm moving on to my trunk lid and would appreciate advice/insights from those who've gone before me. As you can see from the pictures, there's significant rust-through in the back corners, the latch area, and the back. I've already...

    I cleaned up my brake pedal for my 68 Coronet. The brake pedal rod boot is shot and I'm wondering where I can get a replacement. Here's a picture of what it (kind of) looks like (a chunk from the bottom -- or top -- is missing): Suggestions? Thanks!

    My spring broke (for the rear license plate assembly on my 68 Coronet) and I'm looking to replace it. I'm open to buying the entire assembly but am hoping that someone has just the spring.

    Two questions

    As I've been working my way through my 68 Dodge Coronet 500, I've run into the need for advice. This is one of those times. 1. Is the front support supposed to have a curve to it as mine does? 2. At the bottom of the front door frame is a small opening (it's the same on both sides). Is this for...

    What should I do with the dash?

    I've cleaned up the windshield frame and repaired the corners and am moving back to the dash. My questions are: 1) The dash is in really good shape and I'd rather not remove it; thoughts? 2) Do I simply continue stripping the dash as I've been doing with the rest of the car? (I can see no...

    Powder coating my K-member

    I took my K-member off to finish cleaning the engine compartment and thought I'd reach out to a local guy to see how much it would be to powder coat it. He said $600. I don't want to spend that kind of money so I'm looking for suggestions. What should I use on my K-member? Thanks!

    What would you do to these windshield channel corners?

    I am looking for advice from those who have gone before me (@eldubb440 I'm looking at you) on how best to address the windshield lower channel corners on my '68 Coronet. The driver's side looks like it's been previously repaired using lead. What would you do?

    Power steering pump bolts

    Where can I find the three replacement bolts for a 1968 Coronet power steering pump? They've got a bit of a star top to them. The length of the shaft is 1 3/4" and the entire bolt is 2 1/8". Is there something special about these bolts or can I simply replace them with a regular hex bolt? Thanks!

    Is this right? Removing ball joint.

    I'm removing the front suspension on my 68 Coronet and have removed most everything but am struggling with removing the ball joints. I am using a heavy hammer and pickle fork to separate the ball joints from the steering knuckle and nothing seems to be moving. What am I missing? I have loosened...

    Front end suspension rebuild kit recommendations

    I'm entering unknown (to me) territory: front end suspension. I am fairly certain that my suspension needs attention since it looks original. (Plus, I need to remove the driver side so I can repair a hole in the frame). I want to replace the drum brakes with disc brakes and I have NO IDEA where...

    Rivets in fenders?

    Okay, I THINK this is a stupid question but ... I'm restoring the front fenders on my 68 Coronet. There clearly was some damage done to the very front and I cleaned out a lot of bondo to reveal some pretty fun dents. My question is: I see these two rivets that seem to be holding the top of the...

    What's this thing called inside my fender?

    I'm restoring the fenders on my 68 Coronet and I removed these cardboard-y strips that were clipped in. I need to replace these but don't know what they're called. I know there are folks here who know. Thanks!

    I am doing some repair on the fenders of my 68 Coronet 500 and need some help. I created a patch panel for the driver fender matching it with the piece I cut out (see the first picture grouping). I wanted to compare the fender to the passenger fender to see if the angles matched (see second...

    68 Coronet 500 door emblem paint/no paint?

    I pulled these two emblems from the doors on my 68 Coronet 500. Are they supposed to be paint free? If no, what get's painted? And what finish (satin, semi-gloss, other)? Thanks!

    Paint finish

    The car is a 68 Coronet. What finish do I use for the headlight trim and for the side swoosh pieces? I think I used satin (not flat and not semi-gloss) on the grill and that looks right. Thanks!
