Welcome to FBBO and the world of Mopar. You're not wasting any time I see! Hemi sounds good to to me. Keep the pics a comin'.
Oh, and a box of beer for the diff, smokin' deal!!

 

[grosenau]

Thanks!! And you bet I will!!

Yeah I'm pumped and can't wait to see the car finished. You're off to a great start. Awesome deal on the Dana, I would have paid a keg for one, if I didn't already have one. A hemi up front is gonna be nice!!! Good luck and I'm gonna be watching!

 

[grosenau]

Thanks!! I am thinking a modern hemi (5.7?) up front!! I'm beyond happy with it [emoji5]

 

[onephat66]

Any hemi would be nice!!! Nothing wrong with a modern hemi, many advantages over Gen I and II's, but they're all cool.

Good looking project. Looks like your moving along on it. Keep up the good work.

Good luck with the project neighbour! Too bad our CDN dollar is so far in the toilet right now. Afraid it's gonna stay there for some time.

Your girlfriends might not get it but YOU will be the one with the car they ALL envy PLUS you will be able to speak about every square millimeter of it!

 

[Brandy]

looking great! As a '67 Coronet owner I applaud your choice! All questions are welcome and i'm glad to see a woman taking interest in MOPAR's for a change, good on ya!

BTW, the spare tire well getting cut out and ditched is the first thing I did to mine too. Check out my thread, " Yankee Express".

Nice project!

Just remember, one of your greatest tools is a digital camera! Take lots and lots of pictures, BEFORE you rip stuff apart and WHILE you are ripping stuff apart. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later (and we'll appreciate seeing the pictures too).

Keep parts organized and together, and then just keep at it like you are doing. Nice job - keep up the good work!

 

[grosenau]

Thanks guys! I'm loving this project! We made a border run yesterday to pick up sheet metal (way way cheaper to have it shipped to the border), and picked up ppg epoxy on the way home! Wasn't able to talk the manly man out of a body saw (i would rather learn to use the plasma cutter I bought him for his birth day...shhhh it's a secret) As everything comes off, I bag and tag it!! Looking forward to reading your builds!

 

[Homstead]

Good to see you working at it! Hope its nice and warm in that shop. Winters almost here....

 

[grosenau]

It's all heated thanks for checking in!

 

[onephat66]

Glad to see more progress. Even down here in northern Texas it's freezing this week!!!

 

[grosenau]

Some further progress!! Found a new hemi for mock up, and thoroughly enjoyed ripping that apart hit the border to pick up more panels! On the topic of body panels, has anyone used fiberglass fenders or hoods on these cars? Looking for a little feedback!

Welcome to the board it's good to see more women getting into this hobby. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is to not get frustrated and stick to the plan. You'll do great
