Just found this, love the wagon. I have a '71 sedan that I picked up from a wrecking yard July '23. You mentioned earlier in the thread that you had cut a Charger windshield to fit... how well did it end up fitting?

Agreed, looks good on your Charger too! My eventual goal with the car is sort of "what would a '71 Coronet R/T have been like if Dodge had made one".

Depending where you are in WA, you may well. I was at Goodguys this year with the car, and the Mopar Nats in Woodburn Oregon, and some smaller local shows in Kitsap/Pierce counties (I live in Kitsap).

That's kind of the same direction my thinking was going for attaching one to a disc brake knuckle. I'm in the middle of building the engine for an engine swap on the car at the moment though, so that's back burner. As far as "grading one's own spelling test"... if he just said "ya, it works...

These are the ones I'm using. Not hubcentric, but the original wheels aren't either. A lot of the Fords use the same 5x114.3mm (5x4.5") as B bodies do, and I've seen people use the Ford wheels on B bodies, so apparently the hub size is at least similar. US Wheel Adapters

Chris has tested them on his Charger. My quibble with them is the unsprung weight gain, but the geometry revision is probably worth the tradeoff. I'd try a set (or make a set, as you mention it's certainly DIYable), but I have disc brake knuckles. At some point I'll have a closer look at...

I like it all black, but thanks for the suggestion.

I have brand new heads on hand already, for just that reason. Also I'm using a Hughes EFI intake on it, so the lower plate sealing issues on the stock manifold won't be a problem either.

Wow, been a while... so in the off time I've taken the car to a bunch of shows, joined a local Mopar club, and sanded down and epoxied the roof. Since buying the Satellite I've decided it's the better place to put the GenIII hemi, and purchased a wrecked '98 Ram pickup which is donating its...

Oh ya, all good.

Hey Tom! Satellite is resting comfortably while I'm working on the '71 Coronet.

Emelia Hartford is her name, there was also another car related company who was preparing an offer. I haven't heard anything further about either offer.

Yes, toe absolutely wears tires fast. Camber (with correct toe) will eventually, but it doesn't do it quickly at reasonable amounts (like 3 degrees or less)

-1.2 camber will not wear your tires noticeably within 1000 miles. Been driving on tracks (autocross and road courses) for 40+ years so it's a rare thing when I have a car (including my street cars) with less than -2 degrees. My Coronet is currently at -1.8, I have over 1000 miles on modern...

Caster also affects camber gain, so on suspension designs that don't have much built in (or worse, go positive), it can help in hard cornering. Like anything else, you can overdo it. The only real way to figure out what works best on any given combination of parts is testing different specs.

Yes please enlighten us noobs on the current car, what tires, mods, alignment...

Thunderhill is a bit closer though at maybe 1.5hrs... :lol:

Thunderhill is north of Sacramento, I used to be an instructor there.

These are B body? If so I'll take the 71-72... and I need to come get the rear window trim we talked about before too.

Any 71-74 Coronets?
