67 Coronet HT project.

[OldFireGuy]

My Imperial project has been taking me away from the Dodge. The Dodge is back on the front burner. These pics are from '09 when I brought the car home. I was a 6 cyl 3 speed car.

Great car "I'm a sucker for the 67's". So what's the plan for it?

 

[OldFireGuy]

413 and a 4-speed

Is the plan.

Cool ride..

Looks good, im with 747, im a sucker for the body style of these myself, Last night i showed my wife a picture of the front end on one, all i got was "i don't get into the cars like you" Oh well, i love them all lol.. I see you have your instrument panel out, if you like the looks of the white instrument panel, check this out, its easy and cheap. Good looking car you have!

Who's disc brake package did you use or are they original stuff?

It was a package deal I picked up from a seller on EBAY. Easy install, works well.

Now I'd say that sits about perfect ! Do you mind me asking what wheel and tyre sizes you are using ?

 

[67 coronet]

i'm with cman,you hit the stance and tire size dead on.what size and back space on the wheels as well as tire size if you dont mind.i am about to set up the tires and wheels on my 67 and that is the look i am shooting for.

 

[OldFireGuy]

I've got 15 by 8 BART wheels on the rear, 5-inch offset towards the inside. I'm running 275-60-15 Cooper Cobra Tires. Tight, but it fits. Fronts are BART 15 by 7 with 4-inch offset to the inside. Tires are 225-60-15.

 

[Cman]

Thanks, that's great ! Now I just need you to wait a couple of months while I sell my Cobra, then let me buy your 67.... :headbang:

I was delayed from working on the Dodge for a bit, but it's back on the front burner. The seats are in for upholstery, I decided to keep the bench. Laid down sound mat and new carpet. Installed a pair of 6X9 speakers and a new package tray. Removed all the worn out window fuzzies and repaired and lubed the window mechanisms. Parts are on order for a few other sub projects.

Good to see you back on it, keep the pictures coming, there's not enough 66/67's on the project pages. I've just got myself a 66, but I won't get my hands on it for another month..... :th_krazy:

The Coronet is in the body shop. I'm going with a 'clean?' almost trim free look. I removed all the trim mounting points and filled in all the holes except for the front edge of the hood. The body was pretty straight with only a few small dents. For the time being I will have the entire car done in primer black. I will make the final color decision later. (Probably a 2-tone)
