67 Coronet build thread

[1967coronet440]

Bad ***, I’m hoping to pick up a couple goodys at the Indy show next month.

 

[Mike67]

I went ahead and bit the bullet, bought the torsion bars, tie rod adjusters and the k member...may decide after I've driven it to add the sway bar...
Leaving work tomorrow early to go to the swap meet and pick up some epoxy and slick sand...My local vendor gives a 10% discount and doesn't charge taxes there.... May pick some lizard skin for the interior, haven't really decided on that piece yet...

If you’re looking for anything in particular let me know I’ll keep an eye out at the Indy show.

Thanks for the offer!!!! I have tons of parts Ive been collecting the past few years...Im almost out of room!
Man the only things I think I still need to drive is a valve body, 3k +/- stall and a drive shaft... I haven't verified the gear in the Dana but Im guessing its pretty low, I have the Eaton to replace the spool...Im wanting a 3.55-3.73
Interior I need carpet, a new headliner and a vinyl top...
Don't have it in my grubby hands yet but I also purchased a complete set of 500 body moldings and some blue anodized vc's...

Well FedEx and the swap meet produced some more tidbits. I received my new PST 1.03 bars, tierod sleeves.
Went to the swap meet just to get some epoxy primer and filler and ended up finding a new HyperCool evap unit for $125
Also got to look at the progress my pop in-law and Gale have made. They decided to go ahead and start stripping the paint! The car looks to have had a resto a while back. There is filler under the 2 layers of paint. Good thing is all of the metal so far looks really Good! Filler appears to be for door dings only!!!

looking good Mike, What color did you decide on after all?

 

[Mike67]

We'll I haven't really decided...will probably write them all down and have one of the kids draw from a hat! Lol!

 

[Mike67]

Bought a bunch of filler and epoxy at the swap meet...so until I decide it will be primer gray, lol!

 

[Mike67]

Well got the brackets for the ac unit mounted under the dash. Had to cut out a rust spot on drivers fender.... right where the support bar runs.

Since you are putting the Audi dash in are you planning on using your defrost ducts? If so can you send me a pic of them?
Thanks

Nope. Those were sold ages ago. Sorry! If I still had 'em, i'd give 'em to you.

Started razor blading it, then DA, finally decide to use the strip disc that worked really well. I've gone through about 6 so far, still have the trunk to do...
