18 with a '68 Coronet

[Deter Pinklage]

I'm Josh, I've been a on-looker and lurker, and now that I've got a decent B-body, and some money saved, I've got some big plans for this humble old Mopar, which is technically my first car btw. The car in question is a 1968 Coronet Deluxe Sedan. It's got a 318 that's been tuned some, a standard 3-spd. Torqueflite, and it's running 215/70 R15s in the rear and 195/70 R14s in the front. Not the pinnacle of muscle or pro-touring but it's a work in progress. The car spent many of its years in Arizona, and because of that the car is rust-free apart some surface rust in the trunk. The body is solid and the car is all there. All in all it's a solid runner, with almost zero rot. I think its a good platform to build off of. I'm new to this so I'm bound to need some guidance and wisdom from you guys. Hope to learn a few things and make some new friends here!
