Chuck Most Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Close second to the Cheap Thrills Dart (c'mon... hose clamp trans mount!!!!), but I'm keeping an eye on this one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Cheap Thrills Dart is on my "to-do" list in the future lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Close second to the Cheap Thrills Dart (c'mon... hose clamp trans mount!!!!), but I'm keeping an eye on this one anyway. I had you pegged as more of a "Caddy Hack" man, Chuck. Wow, does that hood scoop ever clash with the nose of the car, huh? Then again, what doesn't clash with the '70 nose? Looking forward to seeing this one progress, Keith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Just wondering if you are going to flatten the tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I love dem Mopars and yours is lookin' good. I looked at a 1:1 '70 Coronet R/T for sale about three years ago, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diymirage Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 looks like your off to a good start dont forget to paint the little panel between the headlights to match the body (its often overlooked) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 looks like your off to a good start dont forget to paint the little panel between the headlights to match the body (its often overlooked) not all of them are painted, granted the one on this car is, but i have seen them chrome before, apparently it was part of some appearance package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 not all of them are painted, granted the one on this car is, but i have seen them chrome before, apparently it was part of some appearance package I don't think that issue will ever be resolved. It's been debated over on the Moparts forum before, too, with no clear answer. Are those aftermarket trans cooler lines I can see through the lower valence panel opening? I definitely think you should do the flattened tires. That really adds a lot to the overall look IMHO, as silly as that may sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
