69 coronet help

[polish pete]

hey guys new here maybe some of you have seen my thread in the general section, anyways heres my question maybe its been asked before or whatever but i want my own answers, i just got a 69 coronet most of its there except for the frontend like grill hood things like that, and the interior is almost non existent wondering if theres pictures or guides or just something to give me an idea of whats suppose to go there how it mounts. maybe ways to take things apart, you know something like a guide im very new to this car dont know very much and im young so ive never really seen this model car before either. i know of one other 69 on long island. any kind of help with any part of the car would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys really glad to be part of this forum and i hope to learn as much as i can about this great classic car.

Easy answer is get a factory service manual

where could i get one? and is it detailed like the ones on the new cars?

Practically any of the big suppliers (read Year One) sells them. They have a "body" section which can help with a lot of your questions.

You could also e-bay it. the 68 plymouth manual @year one was like $95! i found the same one on e-bay (make sure it is a reputable seller) for $55.

Take alot of pictures before you take anything apart and don't throw ANYTHING away. Check out the restoration forums, you will find pictures of just about everything there.Feel free to ask lots of questions here, alot of great people here willing to help. Good luck and have fun!

God luck on your search. I could take pictures of the inside of my '69 for your reference.

honestly that would be great if you could do that, plus im curious what kind of tail panels came on the 69's? because on my car theres 2 holes in the center and the tail lights.

definitely get the sevice manual. Look online and you will find them. I found one in excellent condition shipped for $70. good luck with your ride.
