426 street wedge

Is that an OEM radio or did you have it converted to AM/FM? If it was who did the conversion? Car is looking great!
Steve, I had a radio converted on my last build it was done by retro radio restoration in Elizabethtown,Pa. On this build I used a AM-Fm from a early 70's A Body perfect fit even the knobs fit.

Dave - great looking Coronet! Cheers for keeping the 426. I have a question: What size tires are you using on the front?

Hello,The tire size 225-70-R15 on a 6"rim
 
Is it this kit Dave ? DBK-11020-DR

Hello, The only number that I could find is 140-11020-DR, I think that a wilwood number.If you call PST thay handle wilwoods now and talk to James,you also get a discount for being a FBBO member. I would like to add easy installation using your spindles less than 2 hours both sides.

Hello All, Well the day has come to finally hear the 65 coronet run. The old coronet sat in a shed since 1973 after being a race car for numerous years. I'm so happy you can't even imagine

Hello Folks, Today we installed the sway bar. I was lucky enough to find a rebuild kit for my original bar The cabinet blaster sure is a time saver, My wife blasted all the small parts and I painted them,a little tough getting the new rubbers over the bar.

The early sway bar kit I found on E-Bay. The store is Temeculavalleymopar, here is the Item number 321292744869.
 
Hi Folks, I was not sure what power steering pump to use,after shoping for brackets for a saginaw pump I decided to re-seal my original TRW. I got it on today and it works perfect I also got a bunch of little things done

I decided to re-seal my original TRW

Well done!! I tried for 6 hours to get the pulley off mine to do the same but gave up. Can you please post a pic of the puller you used Dave?

The store is Temeculavalleymopar

I've made a pact to never deal with him again. A nice guy to deal with until something goes wrong, then he won't want to know you...
 
This puller will make your rebuild alot easier you can also use it on alternator pulleys,its inexpensive at Harbor freight or some other discount tool store. This is the first time i used Temeculavlleymopar no problem.

Hello Folks,To the alignment shop.My friend Bob brubaker has a local garage here in town that does alignments. Bill Coady is doing the tow, the coronet has lots of miles on that truck. It helps having lots of friends.

Dave, I think you jumped the gun getting an alignment without the full interior, full tank of fuel, 200lbs. on the drivers set. It may not be a big deal, but just throwing it out there.

Car is lookin' BITHCHIN!!!!!
