    68 Coronet 500 Fender Tag Decode

    Don67Satellite - the Coronet project has been stalled while we did three additions to the house and have also been working on complete restoration of a 71 Challenger RT. That resto is nearing completion so I have stripped down the Coronet and delivered it to the body shop. I will start a...

    Finally figuring out how to shrink photo file sizes so they will upload - here are pics of the tag. Thanks for the info on the codes. Is there any way to figure out manufacturing plant if it is not on the Fender tag?

    Installing windshield trip clips

    Thanks for the tips! Thanks, guys, the more I look at mine the more confusing it gets. It looks like there are several large holes next to some of the windshield clips that look like drain holes, but not positive. THey could be there from factory to drain rainwater from under the trim, they...

    Installing windshield trip clips

    Thanks, yeah the more I look at it, the more it looks like that windshield has got to come out. But it looks like that may be difficult without removing the dash. One thing leads to another. May just be better to take it to a local glass shop for a professional opinion....

    Installing windshield trip clips

    Just picked up my first Mopar, a 68 Coronet, and the front lower windshield trim is off (found it in the trunk). I cleaned up the channel but all but two of the clips are gone, and it looks like there are small holes in the channel where they used to be. Are these clips installed with screws...

    I'm not usually very lucky but I got lucky this time! It was well hidden - in the motel parking lot behind the building, and it is not a very busy hotel anymore. I think most people just saw the car under the cover and never gave it a second look, but I recognized the shape of those rear...

    Mopar **** OK, I did get some pictures of the car today, and now you can tell me if I got a good deal or not. As I said, the body is a bit rough, but no rust - a good CA car! I have included some shots from all angles. Have removed much of the interior to start prepping for body work (and...
