Hey Guys,
I'd been trying to join since I bought my Coronet in September and its good to see the sight active again and with a wonderful mobile format for ultimate goofing off at work. I'm on here to maybe learn a thing or two and maybe teach a thing or two as well as have another resource for my poly.... or find a big block. I look forward to chatting with everyone!
Thanks again,
Trav

I went and looked at a 66 2door yesterday, the body is straight. All the exterior trim is there, but there is no engine or interior, even the dash has been taken out. The car has a clutch pedal in it, he said it had a 383 when he got it. He wants $4000, he wont budge a single bit on his price! He wont even let me take pictures of it, he is quite the jerk to put it nicely, anyway is the car worth what he wants for it? Or should I just wait for another?

So, some may be wondering an easy and inexpensive way to make your chrome look like new. When I got my Coronet from my buddy he drove it a lot of in the country on dirt roads. Needless to say the wheel caps and bumper and fender where in BAD shape. All you have to do is purchase you some steel wool and go to town on the chrome with it. Below is a before and after picture of my wheel caps. Each one took between 30 minutes and an hour to do but boy did it bring them back to life.

So Piper has been helping me with this in PM but if the info isn't on the board then others cant find it in the future. Thus this post.


I have a 67 440 4 door with a 318 polyblock out of a 65 dodge van.

Today, the throttle cable broke on me while driving. Good times.

Any way, were can i get a new one at? When i called the parts store they said they can get one for a 65 coronet but not for the 67. I figured these are interchangeable on these models but wasn't sure? When determining this am I needing to tell them I need one for a 67/65 coronet, or should I get one based on the engine coming out of a 65 dodge van?

Thanks in advance for the info.

Hi Guys - I have been searching high and low but cannot seem to find anyone that sells carpeted door panels WITH the chrome. The only version I have been able to find with chrome are the all vinyl. I am looking for Vinyl top (white) and black carpet (low).
I have shopped Legendary, classic industries, ebay and a few others.
Does anyone know of a MNF that sells what i am looking for? Or anyone have extra chrome that they would like to sell? - 2 door 500.

Here is a picture of exactly what I am looking for.

Richard replied to one of my posts with pictures of this car.... With a color scheme that was much better than what I was planning for my Net.
My original color was a black interior with a solid light blue exterior. This Blue with White top/interior was too good to pass up!

As a result I have sold my brand new (black) door panels and head liner. Also I have purchased white bucket seat frames. I am still shopping for white door panels but that is another post.

Ill get to the point.. Because of the color change I am left scratching my head..
As I am shopping for a new interior I am noticing that the door panels are Pearl White, the seat covers (ebay) are also Pearl white.
I need some opinions.
Does the interior of this car look PEARL white to you or just WHITE. Same question for the exterior.
To me it looks White on the outside and Pearl on the inside. And if it is pearl white, what about the headliner (which I only see for sale in white)

Just wondered if the "where can I find a" thread could be brought back? It was a great place for members looking for specific parts to ask for help finding them.
