1969 Dodge Coronet 440 Sedan.

About this Mopar:

Year
1969
Make
Dodge
Model
Coronet
It's a moderately kept up project car. No major rust except one spot on the trunk. No dents, no bondo. I traded a bass boat for it(which my wife was all for because I can't swim lol). Original LA 318 motor and Torqueflite 904 trans. Same old green thing

So since like May I've been pretty quiet. So I figure I'll give an end-of-year update.

When I was last active I was reaching out to find a set of front drums. I corresponded with a nice guy and we worked out a deal (Thanks again Mike!). After swapping those and adjusting on the rear, we have brakes! I lifted the front end a few inches off of the torsion bar because she was banging the bump stops, the ride is decent enough for my untrained taste and we have plenty of suspension travel both ways now. Pulled the Carter BBD and cleaned and rebuilt it. New thermostat, quite a few gaskets hither and thither. All new rubber lines. New freeze plugs. Rewired the running lights (headlight, high beam, tail and brake lights, signals) so now we have lights but still no instruments. As of right now she runs pretty damn good all things considered. This morning I saw a green puddle under the motor, so I'll need to figure out what's up there. But otherwise, I've been out driving quite a bit and she seems old but sort of happy. I'll keep updating with sparse frequency. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas everyone!

Forgot to mention a new master cylinder. I still have the OG one, I plan to redo it. But for now, she stops.
