69 coronet 500 convertible. 4 Speed with air..

Awesome car you have there please keep us updated. I'm very much looking forward to seeing your progress



Frame connectors like Hemi cars and massive steel angle iron in the rocker panels .. probably other stuff too but that's the main diff.

Where the door meets the quarter panel was different in the rag tops making a more solid connection with the quarter panel than the hard tops. Look just above the door latch.

My car was in need of complete floor pan, trunk pan, outer wheel wells, trunk extensions,full quarters.
Frame rail were great,front clip was great,rear seat area and part of the upper trunk area was good.

Now THAT looks more familiar to what I started with 69rag500 . . . good job on the floor replacement ! ! ! Keep up the great work too !

Doors are good. They cost a bit of money but i saved money on body work.

How much? I'm really curious because my doors are showing rust bubbles in the lower corners under the paint.

They list at $650.00 My friend is a AMD Dealer here in canada. He got the doors for me at $450.00 a piece. look for a AMD dealer in your town, maybe a hot rod shop parts supplier or call them direct. Im sure you can get the doors cheaper then $650.00 Cheers

At the risk of stepping on my schwantz, I was of the opinion that all Coronet 500's had the faux third tail light as pictured below. Am I all wet here ...?

Nope. That is the standard tail panel for the 500 and R/T.

Which one?

 

[69rag500]

3rd eye panel..

Which one?

The pic. above is right for 500 and RT models. I call it the 3rd eye panel. Superbee has plain panel with no middle eye, just 2 tail lights...Anyways
