1965 Dodge Coronet 500 bought new in 65 by my Grandmother. It has never been out of the family and it was pretty rough by the time I was Allowed to get my hands behind the wheel.
This has been a difficult 10 year restoration that has only a few more months left. Can't wait to get it back on the road. I told my wife if it's not on the road by the end of summer, it goes up for sale. Had to give myself a little incentive
.
All the work has been done in my home shop, including body and paint. No one else has done any work on this car, other than low end of engine.
Check out the custom dash cluster I made for it, turned out pretty nice!
Well, 4 back surgeries, one heart attack with a 5 way bypass, it's almost ready to drive and then, tore my rotator cuff in both shoulders. Full tear in the right and partial on the left. Going in for surgery on the right shoulder next month.
Again, project goes on hold.
10-24-20, Unfortunately, not going to be on the road this year. Surgery on my shoulder next month and most likely 8 of recovery and PT.
I was soooo close to getting it done this year Hate to disappoint anyone but, not putting it up for sale just yet.
One more year, what the heck, it's been 10 already
