Hello from Southern Alberta
#1
Hi people. I have recently acquired a 1966 Coronet 440 2 door that was parked in a field in 1978. It is quite a project, but as far as cars here go, it's not too bad. The engine bay, floors, trunk and frame rails are surprisingly solid. The quarters however are rusted and have 1970's bondy work on them. The interior is shot because the kids playing in the car left the driver's window down. The grill is a little rough but I may be able to fix it. I am planning on repairing the body and putting a big block in it. I just want to build a cool driver. Anyway here is a pick or four of my latest challenge
1955195619571958.

Thanx all for the welcome.
4404spd, I'm in Lethbridge. It's good to know you have a stash! I will be needing parts. I am hoping to find a donor car that has bad frames and floor for a couple fenders, possibly quarters, grill etc. A friend here says he may know where one is. I will definitely keep you in mind though as I may be working up close to you this fall.
