From Wisconsin Myself...Welcome aboard! Rustbelt car? If so, we probably need to consider your car for a resurrection tittle vs. a restoration. Know the feeling, working through a WI car project right now. Plenty of us Rustbelt guys around here.

As far as the swaping parts, a coronet to say a roadrunner/satellite you would find a lot more, but for the Charger the list gets cut down. Toss up a list of what your thinking, most here can probably tell you what you can/can't use.

Welcome to FBBO from mostly rust free muscle cars area in California...LOL... "Sorry I had to say that" {believe me we have rust buckets here in Cali. too}, good luck with the resurrection / restoration of the 70 Charger R/T, 440 4bbl, 18 spline Hemi 4 speed, Dana 60, Super Track Pack car it is a great candidate for bringing back to life, you should buy stock in Auto Metal Direct {AMD} because you will no doubt be purchasing a ton {literally} of parts from them... I would highly suggest purchasing some books on the subject of body repair & restorations & I would start with a "Factory Service Manual" for your specific year make & model of car, it will be well worth the small amount of money spent... Good luck & happy Moparing

Nice project and welcome to the site from the Motor City! That Coronet will make for a good parts car for the Charger. Most of the unibody like the frame rails, flooring, front cowl will all interchange. The leaf springs will work but will likely be insufficient unless you are just looking for something to roll it around on during the resto. Just head over to the AMD website and check out the online catalog and that will tell you what parts will interchange and what are Charger specific. If the Coronet has the rallye dash, round gauges, then it is the same as the Charger allthough there may be some details specific to `70 that may be different in the `69. You should definitely invest in some reference material at this point.
