Daymn, I wish my floors looked like that when I bought mine. Congrats on the nice score and it looks like a really solid foundation to start with. Keep posting pics as you do stuff, we need our car ****!

Well the underside tells a little different story. I'll post some pics.

Well I crawled underneath and snapped a few...

I guess it could be worse lol. The outer wheelhouse on the drivers side has some rust in it. Can that be repaired without removing the quarter? Anyway I'm gonna clean the underside up this winter and see what I've got. Thanks for all the kudos guys, It means a lot to me!

still looks pretty good overall.

I know it's bondo but it looks like someone stuck chewing gum in that trunk extension lol. Yea you have a little bit of work ahead of you but the overall condition is pretty good. Still a really nice score. Driving it now and fixing things over the winter still sounds like a good plan.

I wouldn't be surprised. after finding chicken wire,beer cans,rags,roof tar, you never know.

Yep thats the plan. Gotta get the brakes fixed then she's ready to drive woohoo!

I know it's a Coronet 440 because it says so on the glove box door lol. And it's a Dodge 'cause it says so on the deck lid hehe. I'm pretty sure it will have Coronet 440 on the Quarters but i'm not sure what goes on the fenders. Any ideas?

Well that wasn't the case. I've replaced the Alt, Reg, Gas tank and sender. Added headers and exhaust system with Dynomax Super Turbos and........I think that's it. Now #1 cylinder pecks loud so I've ordered a pair of lifters, pushrods and rocker arms for it. THEN maybe she's ready to drive. woo.........hoo:edgy:

if you're asking about on top of the fenders, those would be for fender mounted turn signals.

Very nice! Good start. Good luck and keep the pics coming .

Well, actually I was asking about the badges on the side of the fenders between the door and wheel well.

I'd say you're ahead of the game, nice find!
