My 65 Coronet Vert Restoration/transplant

[vanrj1]

Well, I thought I started a post for my Coronet but I guess not. This car ended up being more than I ever imagined when I bought it. This is year 7 and hope to be done in Sept 2012. Here are a few pic's. The transplant was to put the rear 1/3 of a 4 door car on this convertible do to rust beyond repair.
Notice the 70's shag carpet in the back seat. It was in the whole car.

Here are some yesterday. Those Champion fender covers are from my father-in-law. They have to be form the 70's I would guess. Sure come in handy. Moving back and forth from engine bay to interior as I need to order different parts to complete each area. I think my wife is getting to know the UPS and Fedex guys a little to well. I need to get this done quick... lol
