HA.. my buddy said to me "so they get to glue flowers all over the car correct?". There were no flowers on it when I got married in it 37 years ago... same applies for this one!

Got the overhauled engine and transmission back in the 1968 Sport Satellite today.. Just a little help from a friend and it went right in... Couple days ago, I got the power brake booster and under dash linkage put in. Was non power and I converted it. What a PITA for a 6'4" 260 lb, near blind , old guy with bad knees and back !! Dam, forgot to take pictures for my build thread............MO
Love it. How about some a--hole with silly string! Was at a parade and some kids started spraying cars with that. Announcer was on the horn in 30 seconds, stop the string.
Finished installing front end parts and aligned

Measured everything for the third time, and set the final wheelbase.

I put a new muffler and tailpipe on my daughter's Jeep Commander. Factory welded system gave the Sawzall a workout. I hate working on exhaust. The factory muffler rusted through on the top of the rear flange. Couldn't see the rust out with the muffler in the vehicle, but I could hear her come home.
A little late posting.. took the Coronet to the Auburn 2nd Friday car show. The show goes from May - Sep and May always has the best turnout.
More Mopes.
Huge crowd, maybe 300 cars.

Out went the failed (4) Comp lifters and replaced all 16 with a set from Lunati.Looking at them(I should have taken pictures) the Lunati lifters have 2 oil bands over Comps 1 and snap rings over the Comps wire lifter plunger retainers. Did the normal fire-up run at 2000 rpm for 20 mins set the idle at 900 all looks and sounds good to go.After the run in and cool down went around and re-torqued all the bolts. A few more items off the list and soon road worthy.

Started re-installing the new interior after finishing up the daily driver. I got the bottom plastic window trim on the back glass installed on the pinch weld. Only took an hour sitting in the sun at 80 F and a lot of finger force. The ends are popping off. So, I'll probably use a heat gun to form the curves better to keep them from popping off again before installing the side pieces.
Doesn't sound like much of an accomplishment. But hey, it's progress.

The rear glass trim on these Coronets is a royal PITA.

Reminding myself of why I always just bought a new carb when they went for a ****. Never apart since I bought it in '88. Almost needed a sledge to get the metering block off the body. Accelerator pump stuck fully in, among other things. Surprised she ran as good as she did, just hope to hell it runs when I'm done!

Lumpy lead - got after it with some sharp 80 grit at a angle.
Lead doesn't seem to play well with other materials and wont feather out.
Just going to bury it in high build.

I got lumpy lead too.
One spot on the A pillar wouldn't let the trim lie flat.
I had to use a carbide bit.
Not sure what I'm gonna do about the quarter to C pillar seam.
No vinyl top to cover it.
