drodg Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 So after finishing a white Polar Lights Coronet I am now working on the second one which is the red car that more closely represents my 1:1 car. The red is pretty close to the Coronet in my garage so other than polishing and waxing I am leaving the paint as it is. I will bare metal foil and I have painted the interior black. I have pretty much left the chassis alone. I am waiting on the paint to dry on the engine as I will make it a 383 4barrel like my car. I am also waiting for a distributor from Morgan Automotive to use also. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Lookin' real good David, as a friend of mine owns one in red with the hood scoop and faux Max Wedge motor that I would love to have if I didn't already have my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I'm a great fan of Dodge "B" body cars, having owned 5, so I'll be watching this build. Bring it on! I have a few of these in the stash, also, and will be looking for pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drodg Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 My 65 Coronet 500 I owned back in the 90's and it had like 8000 miles on it and I sold it a few years later. The man I sold it to had it back and called me a few summers ago and asked me if I wanted to buy it back. We went back and forth for about six weeks and I finally got the permission (kinda) to pull the trigger. It now has 14,600 on it. It is a nice driving car. Very tight and solid. Some Mopars weren't so much back then! Lol! I love the 65's also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
