That looks cool... need to lighten it?
Hood, trunk, front fenders, bumpers?
That will liven it up.

Sounds like a good plan Jeff! how do I contact Dale?

Well, I know Dale has the moulds for the bumpers, I have the mould for the trunk, and I have lent out the mould for the hood and the fenders... You just need to get them all together, Oh, and I know of some moulds for he doors too!

Nice car Jon, I think a few of us fancied that car while it was for sale (I know i did!). Looks mean!
On the topic of junkyard dogs some bloke stopped me in the street whilst driving the Dart and said'Don't paint that mate, ever!' I'm tempted to say the same about your new car Jon

Spent the day in the Coronet and removed over 25 feet of redundant wire that was not connected to anything! Cleaned the wheels and apart from needing LHT nuts I think they look great.

Also found lots of trim bits a radio and what appears to be a little used jack in the trunk.

Next strip the inside weld up the holes fit the Jazz seats.

Small amount of welding to be done in the boot before moving the battery, hopefully the heater will be out next weekend.
