1972coronet

I'm digging this , man ! That EL5 Bahama Yellow works very well with the V1Q Mod Top and matching interior ! I could swear that there were a couple of 1970 Dusters built with the blue / green Mod Top with either EB5 or EB7 paint --- thus far , just rumours . Keep up the great work !

Answered my own query : https://hartspartsresin.com/product/70-dodge-coronet-super-bee-non-console-interior-4-speed-tub/

I have the first Round2 run of the 1970 Super Bee ( c.2012 ) , but I never paid attention to its interior tub . Doesn't Harts Parts make a resin 1970 'Bee tub with hardtop panels , sans console ?

I'm surprised by the amount of flash on the forward of the fenders , and onto the header panel ---- for an all-new body , on its first run ? Those inner door panels look like tonnes of fun to replicate / scratch-build . From what I'm seeing of your work there , the piping looks to be in-scale (esp. , like you stated , after primer and paint work as a de facto fill ) . Was there a regular hardtop interior tub ever produced for the '68-'70 Coronet annuals ? Were they all convertible-based ?

I have a feeling that Chief Joseph will be designing and creating an accurate P/S chassis and suspension for the Grump's Vega . In the meantime , I'm going to enjoy building it out-of-the-box .

1979 Nova brochure : http://oldcarbrochures.org/United States/Chevrolet/1979-Chevrolet/1979-Chevrolet-Nova-Brochure/index.html Even if the covering you've replicated is completely imaginary , it still looks quite nice . Lord knows that there were plenty of upholstery shops around that would add whatever a customer wanted (within reason) .

Where was it exported-to ? Must be 3.23 / open , as no axle ratio is mentioned . Shaker Hood added... Where's it original , standard bonnet ? Rallye Wheels --- likely had plain wheels / hub caps originally . "Radio Delete" --- No built-for-export car would have a radio , as the receiver wouldn't work in other countries . No mention of a KPH speedometer --- UK export ? Someone is definitely smoking their underwear wanting that much for a car which is neither original nor restored .

I wouldn't arbitrarily attack someone ( I practise non-violence unless I'm against the proverbial wall ) based-upon heresay and rumours . However , if I caught someone in the act , I would go on the offence . I'd likely make some flyers whose statement is , to the effect of , Be Aware --- There's a Psychopath In The Area Who's Feeding Poison To Feral Animals . Consider This a SERIOUS Warning ! Then see if that bull___t stops .

I hope that the link and the photo are of some help . Cheers !

That's the most difficult decision to make ---- being judge and jury for a superior being . Cats are masters of hiding their suffering... until they cry-out in pain . Oliver was on the decline since I had to put Molly ( my "miniature mountain lion" ) to rest . From that day-forth , he became depressed ---- still himself , but depressed . I'd have talks with him : "You let me know when you're ready . Make sure that there's zero question that you want to be released ; don't stick around for my benefit if you're not well ." Last Thursday ( 3rd September ) he let me know . It's so difficult to be objective when it comes to our animal superiors ( I feel that dogs and cats are superior to we bipeds ) , because of the 'language barrier' . Truly , it is a powerful gift to be a guardian to these guys ; not to be taken lightly . I have Molly's ashes in a nice little cedar box . I have two Maneki Neko statues keeping guard , along with other feline-centric items . I feel honoured to be able to keep her remains ; I feel blessed that I had her in my life , especially at a critical time . And now , I'm afforded the same gift with my "Bratty Brit" , as his remains join Molly's in my shrine .

Hello ! Sharp looking companion !

Thank you to all whom have replied , and shared their stories with us ❤️ . Here's a couple of photos of my dearly-departed Molly and Oliver : Molly Anne ( 17.05.2002 - 11.08.2019 ) and Oliver Sabastian ( 04.06.2003 - 03.09.2020 )

Too bad that Pontiac (et al.) dropped the OHC 6 after '69 . That engine would've served them well in the 70's , esp. during the energy crisis of late '73-1974 and '79-'80 .

Thank you , one and all ? ! His tail is as long as his body --- he carries it like a scorpion when he's scampering about ( I'll try to get a photo of the elusive chaton in action ) . From a Spiritual and philosophical standpoint , his arrival couldn't have been better : one long-time companion passes-on to the Other Side ; a new life is presented the same day... the circle of life is complete in this instance. Okay , enough Existentialism for now ❤️

Looks even better outside ; the brightwork plays better against the dark recesses (esp. the grilles) . That colour combo really stands out in the natural lighting , too .

Another masterpiece in the making ! IMO , the Revell 1968 (ad seq.) Charger would be a better donor than the AMT 1968-1969 R.R. / GTX , as the Revell offering is just *that much* nicer . Here's the 1968 Dodge Coronet Trim brochure : https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/dealerships/1968ColorAndTrim-02.shtml And the regular brochure : https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/dealerships/1968DealershipDataBook-04.shtml Looking forward to following this one !

Last Thursday was a sad and stressful day... I had to put my 17 year companion Oliver to rest . I had him for 16 1/2 of those years ; each day a pure joy . He was half-British Shorthair , and half "whatever" --- and those Brit features and mannerisms were there in spades . I'll be retrieving his cremated remains next week ; they'll be placed in my 'Feline Shrine' along with the remains of my other companion , Molly Anne ( 17.05.2002 - 11.08.2019 ) . The next day , my neighbour presented me with a 3 month old kitten ! That act certainly assisted in the transition ---while still mourning the passing of my beloved Oliver Sabastian . Meet 'Buster' ! His purr motor is so pronounced and calming . He's definitely got some Siamese lineage , as his muzzle and physique --esp. that tail !-- exhibit... and that vocal Siamese nature .

I believe that I'm going to procure a can of that Antique Bronze for my build (which will actually be a 350hp 396 Super Sport with A/C and the TH-400 from the parts bin) .

Thanks much ! Matter-of-fact , I do quite a bit of writing . I'm writing a story whose title is Persona Non-Grata .

How sweet it is ! Those times are impressive , to say the least ! WOW ! I'd like to see a drop-top '71-'73 campaigned in F.A.S.T.

He ostensibly doesn't let the negative folks deter him ; he gets a chuckle out of their snarky remarks . I've actually learnt some techniques from him . I enjoy his sense of adventure , trying new products and the such .

Thanks much ! I'd figured that the Edsel would use the 'Mercury' transmission , but wasn't sure . Side Bar : The FMX in my '70 Ranchero ( 351-C ) was one of the nicest shifting transmissions ever ,
