Feeling Accomplished in Canada

[grosenau]

For sale! Trunk floor '67 coronet! I feel like it's worth about 3 million dollars after all the spot welds I drilled out! Yesterday was going to be a lazy day, instead spent 5 hours in the garage, under the careful supervision of the manly man. First project (EVER for me) and his 5th! Knocked out spot welds on both sides (floors behind tubs were shot) and ordered sheet metal!

Above is the 8 3/4 diff I found in a junk yard. The 7 1/4 was cute but I'm looking to put a Hemi in it

New disc brake (I think....I am under heavy supervision with this being my first project...not 100% certain about terms) I found in a junk yard. Off a late model A body. Also fit pretty nicely in the wheel well to install! [emoji6]

I was told the scoop is actually for a dart, but hey, I'll take it!

Ok, now we're talking! Yeah, sometimes the need for strength outweighs the "cute" factor. A Hemi will shred a 7 1/4" rear end!! I have a built 8 3/4 in my '66 Satellite with a 440 and thinking about putting my Dana 60 in it, just in case.....

 

[grosenau]

I'm really excited for this!

Very cool project, keep us posted.

 

[grosenau]

You bet! None of my girlfriends really get it, so I'll keep ya updated!

 

[Homstead]

Awesome project you have going there! Keep it up!

 

[grosenau]

Thanks

If you're going hemi I would definitely put a dana underneath instead of the pig. Nice project BTW.

 

[grosenau]

Thanks! I was thinking Dana, however, this one cost me a box of beer! Will be good to get everything mocked up anyways

I dig you project. Where in AB are you closest to? I have a very good Mopar engine builder/customer in Red deer county AB that I can recommend (ARL racing engines) when you are ready.

 

[grosenau]

Probably be closest to the hat

You surely have some work to do - but you have a heck of a nice project car to work with. Keep us in the loop and questions are welcomed.

 

[grosenau]

Thanks very much! I will keep you posted
