short video of the coronet after some repairs
Not much done on the coronet in the last year i have been working on my Valiant. I will hopefully be getting back to the coronet by spring time and hopefully be getting it ready for paint.
Here are some pics of my 1968 Dodge Coronet 440,I bought the car in 1998 for 700.00.I drove it for a month or two and i killed the tired original 318.So i rebuilt a new 318 balanced the lower end bored 30 over had new set of heads built by indy and used the edelbrock performer package to keep it solid on the street.The car is a driver it is not a racer i use it to commute 50 miles a day so i kept the 273 gears out back and it drives like a champ on the highway.I put a new dual 2.5 exhaust with headman headers, h pipe and magnaflow mufflers.The front end was rebuilt when motor was out and new h/d leaf springs stock ones were pretty shot, it has an msd 6a and a mopar electonic distributor, battery was moved to the trunk to clean up engine bay.

Here is a pic of the car when first bought the original mm1 bronze metalic is still there . Original
window sticker.
Here it is not looking to good
This is how the car is today still no paint, Hope fully by next year it will have paint i still need to do some more welding on the passenger lower door the trunk lid and the drivers rocker panel.I dont drive it very much in the winter even if the weather is always nice here in california, plus i usually only get in the mood maybe 2 out of the 365 days to do bodywork so it will probably never get done unless i win the lotto.
Here is a pic of car after i took off all trim and welded up the holes and primered it grey and added the american racing wheels and new bfg's 225 60 15 up front and 275 60 15 out back
thought i would add one pic of me getting dirty prepping for welding. I am not very good at welding thin sheet metal it burns holes to easy. 318 engine specs for 68
I decided i wanted to make a six pack clone since i cant afford a real one so i bought a new hood from unlimited.
A few older pics of my coronet and a friends 68 dart the dart had a 440 scary car. Pics before the sixpack hoo and the rims and tires from my charger. I Micky thompson L60-15's in the back. A little to big for the coronet they wood rub if i hit a big bump. So i went back to the 275/60/15 bfg's.
More pics of car will come as i dig them up, i have more from the original before primer
I had to repair rust that was on the lower rear quarters so i took it to work and replaced the metal. Im learning the bodywork stuff as i go and i hate it i wish i had the money to just pay someone to do it.But for now i have to do it myself.
