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...

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...

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...

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!

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?

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...

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...

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!

I welded the rear cross rail on my 68 Coronet and am about to install the trunk floor pan. I have a fitment question: When I shove the floor pan in so it hits up against the wheel wells, I have about a 1/2 nch gap between the rear of the floor pan and the top of the cross rail. The picture is...

As many of you know, I bought my 68 Coronet 500 for the express purpose of learning things I didn't know: how to weld, how to fabricate, how to paint, etc. I've learned and enjoyed learning from you, my friends. And now I need your suggestions. I have been working on my roached out tail panel...

I bought this trunk floor reinforcement set from Classic Industries a while ago and essentially removed whatever left from my rusted trunk. I know where the reinforcement bar goes, but I don't know what the two smaller pieces are for or where they go. Can anyone help me?

I'm fabricating the quarter panel ends on my 68 Coronet and don't know what they are supposed to look like; the originals have just rusted away. I've attached a picture of what I've fabricated so far and what I'm missing. If anyone can post a couple of pictures of the driver's side and the...

My driver side rear frame rail is rotted away. I got a replacement from a donor car in AZ and now have a question about next steps. As you can see in the picture, the rot begins at the yellow line and goes to the back. I have extra on the donor rail and feel like I want to use what I can. What...

I'm restoring a 2-door 68 Coronet 500 and am planning on media blasting the entire car. I removed the doors, window glass, and regulators and am just left with the window channel and vent. Two questions: 1) Should I remove the window channel (or can this be blocked off during media blasting?)...
