It’ll have paint on it this spring and the roller will be done then. The transmission is built, need a converter, and I’m swapping the engine over from my other car. Hopefully we’re testing at the track by September.

Apparently, they don’t reproduce the funky front marker light retainers for the coronet and I can’t find the used one I had so out come the fab tools and a piece of 2x2 .083 wall. Nothing like reinventing the wheel…

For next time, the '70 charger one will work by drilling a new hole...

I know there's a good reason for it, but why does it look like that wheel and tire are bolted on backwards?

It is bolted on backwards. It’s the only way these wheels will fit. The steering arms are longer and will clear the 17x4.5” wheels I plan on running but won’t work with these wheels unless they’re on backwards. You can see here I have a set of borrowed race wheels on it and they fit great.
