68 Coronet 500 Project

1968 Dodge Coronet 500 - I purchased this car in 2009 and stored until Sep 2024 while working on my house and a 71 Challenger RT project. I am retired now so the Coronet project begins!

Been collecting parts I will need over last 14 years - mostly interior parts. I was able to run the car when I bought it (rebuilt carb, fresh oil and gas), restarted it last month. I spent the last 4 weeks stripping it down and sent to body shop last week. CA car so very little rust - couple of pinholes in rear window channel with some minor pitting of trunk floor, but rest is solid. RF fender was crunched (took it to a body shop class and straightened pretty well), other dings and dents around lower body. Hardest part to find so far was the wide rocker moldings - missing one, but found a pair on eBay last month.

Latest updates

Some additional pics of the car trailered to body shop, prep of trunk floor and front fenders removed for metal shaping.
