New member, old restoration - 1969 Coronet 440 Project (First Post)

[69cornet440]

Thanks for letting me join guys!

About 10 years ago, when I was 19 year old, I bought my 1969 Dodge Coronet 440. I bought it as a shell and knew I had a long road ahead of me but I love this car and looking forward to the first day I can sit behind the wheel and start this beast.

Over the past few years (post college), I was finally able to dig into my resto-project. So far I have my motor all done and ready to be installed. It is completely rebuilt top to bottom except head work. Should be within the next few weeks I get to fire it up for the first time! Take a look and let me know what you guys think!

*I have a BUNCH of spare parts, questions about my missing parts and paint coding, so I'm sure you guys will see my rookie posts throughout the site if I can figure this all out haha.

Thanks Moca. I decided to go with a 440. It's a 1972 block boiled out, micd up, and rebuilt with bore over .60

Internals:
- Keith Black Alum Pistons
- Comp Cam (Street)
- ARP Rods, Bolts, misc
- Edelbrock High Rise Intake
- Holley 750

More to come. I actually just decided I am going "new style" and painting it all Hemi Orange. Might regret it, but we will see when the finished product is done.
