can any of you tell me the procedure for lowering my rear manual window?its a 67 coronet wagon.the window is stuck up.the handle moves slightly in either direction then hits a hard stop.does this sound like its still locked?what is the key position for cranking it down?
 
what size wheel and tire do you have on this one?any modifications to fit them?
I run a 15x8 rim with a 4.5" rear backspacing. Tires are 28x9. I have also fit a 29.5x9 under it. I had to trim about a 1/4" off the wheel well lip for the larger tire to clear.

The attached image is with the 28x9

What's the setup on that and what does it run?

The "dark" years - mid-divorce, stored in a dirt-floor building, neglected for nearly 5 years:

After the divorce I finally got it moved to my new house - still neglected, but at least it's home (and on concrete again!):

Moved outside, cleaned up, new shoes....that's still factory paint on the roof and hood!

And its current home / setup - 17" Ridler wheels all around, standard 727 auto, normal LA 360 with Edelbrock intake, 4bbl, and HP manifolds. Still duals, still has the factory 8.75" suregrip rear with 3.23 gears, still has the factory 26" radiator (a non-a/c car), and factory power disc brakes:

...and the plans for the future. My one-owner 2005 Magnum R/T donor that was totalled with 36k miles, in a t-bone accident when a woman ran a stop sign:

...and the new heart, its 5.7 Gen III EFI hemi, waiting for me to get time, money, and installation parts:

It's been a journey...and it's not over yet!!
 
I saw this thread and figured I'd resurrect it.
Since I'm looking for a decent rear bumper for a 66-67 Coronet or Belvedere wagon.

Tell us more about it and show us under the hood and inside.

It came from a farm in Texas. Was filled with more rat **** than I've ever seen. Raccoons also got the front seat. But it's pretty much rust free with original paint. 318 poly that I got running and it purrs like a kitten surprisingly. Thinking about dropping in a 440 I had in my 70 coronet last year. It's a low compression 440 that dynoed at 416hp. But first I'm doing cleaning and more cleaning.

Really looks solid. Don't forget to look for stains on the headliner. I found 2 dead mice in mine.

It doesn't have a regular headliner. It's made of perforated board material. Several separate panels.
