I built a 65 Coronet 500 numerous years ago (Polar Lights) but don't exactly remember the build to well other than the engine and exhaust manifolds I feel were a rough fit.  I am  want to replicate my stock 65 Coronet 500 1:1 car that has a 383 in it and was wondering about using the Lindberg 330 kit for the chassis and the engine.  Has anyone done this combo and how did the two match up?  My car has stock wsw tires and the 65 500 spinners so kind of wondering about what wsw tires to use as I remember the Polar Lights car has BSW tires.  Anyhow any help before I start buying the kits would be appreciated.    I have attached a quick photo of my 1:1 car.   Thanks

I think I would use the  Moebius 65 Plymouth for chassis / drive train update.

it will even have the correct air cleaner and I think it even has the white wall tires in it

+1.

The Polar Lights Coronet has a pretty decent body shape but the chassis and running gear aren't very inspiring.  Eg:  the distributor will only accommodate six plug wires (!!!).  The interior could use a little help as well. 

I pepped mine up with a set of MRC Keystones and M/T rubber......

I did some digging and realized that I have a white Polar Lights Coronet unbuilt and I have the Lindberg 64 Plymouth unbuilt.   I wonder how the interior & body of the Coronet would work with the Moebius Satellite?   The interiors on the Satellite and Coronet are different.  Anyhow thanks for the advice and your coronet looks good!
