Just a little about my red beast, all pretty much normal mopar stuff.
Once I finally got to start working on it (and after chasing out the two big rats residing in it), I took the entire car down to the bone. No bolt or nut unturned. Had to replace the floor pans, scraped all the under-coating off, and sand-blasted as needed. Used a two-part self-etching epoxy primer on all, inside and out.
The car now sports a 8 3/4 rear from a 67 Coronet, super stock springs, sure-grip, and 15" cop wheels. Brakes are all up-dated with wide drum on the rear, disc on the front with the old type parts swapping on the front suspension.
Re-built 67 model 727 will hook up to the 69 model 440 going under the hood.
One kinda neat thing happened while busting down the car. While pulling all the interior out, I loosened the dash, and heard something fall, when I pulled the dash out. When I looked, found a like new copy of the owners manual sitting on top of the heater box. Might have been there from the plant where the car was built.
