1968 Coronet 500 Project

[Cornpatch MO]

The photographer got an amazing shot of the Coronet for the tee shirt next year at Cruzing the Rim show in Show Low Az! BLING!View attachment 614225

No offense intended to the R/T folks, but I would look at your Coronet for extra long time. You don't see cars like this every day.......................MO

Very nice!

I say this all the time but it is like a bug light..... people are drawn to it and more than one person per show has a hard time walking away. They turn their head look to look at it one last time then turn around and walk back over to it.... It is so funny to watch.

Well I finally picked up my '68 rocker moulding I bought from a member here and he did not pack them well so the PO bent them in shipment (my car has a Plymouth unit on the drivers side due to the ditching in the '70's is my guess). I took them to a place in Tucson at Thanksgiving and was told 3 weeks.... It is now.... June..... They are all wrapped up in foam and I am afraid to open them....

I believe he has a truck that picks up in Phoenix. From my understanding he does a lot of chroming business there...

The Kids picked my Coronet for the top honor "Kids Favorite" at the M&M Show today in Huachuca City, Az today! Who says todays kids don't have good taste! A good time for a good cause even if it was blazing hot!

Hey, Jim,

How's the sealing on your gas tank around the sender and pickup area doing? I like the idea of an EFI tank for future upgrade, but would value your opinion on whether its more trouble than its worth.

The cork gasket has worked flawlessly. Definitely would throw the neoprene in the trash
