Looks nice. I also have a question. What did you use for wiper motors, where did you get them? Thanks.

I was thinking the same thing except, you had it that far apart(and did some really nice work) but did not change to a mopar engine at that time

Oh well I feel a mopar deserves a mopar in it

Howdy!

The battery box was a copy of the rusted out stock box. It mounts to the floor under the seat right below where the passengers heiney would be.



The Coronet is sitting in the back of the shop on jack stands collecting dust and cat hair. I've been working on Mopars for others to be able to buy parts for it. After I finish the 68 Charger I'm currently building for a friend, this stuff is going on my Coronet -

A Tremic TKO 600 5 speed is on a dolly under the Coronet waiting to be bolted in using a kit From American Powertrain.

I have 2" drop spindles assembled with Wilwood 12.19" rotors and 6 piston calipers in a box waiting to be bolted in up front.

I have a pair of 440 Source aluminum heads waiting in the box to be bolted on.

To go with the heads and stick shift I have a new Quick Fuel Q750 (double pumper).

I've cut open the rear sub frames and fitted 2" X 3" .120" wall rectangle tubing to connect to the front crossmenber.

I'm hoping to get back to working on the Coronet in a month or two.

How's life on your end of the state?

I'd have a 440 in it if it were my truck. It's a friends truck he inherited from his Grandfather. The motor was in OK condition and he did not understand the need for having a Mopar in a Mopar.

Saw a T bucket at the gas station, talked to the owner, he's got a 426 CJ in it, a Ford in a Ford was nice to see. When I looked at it I knew it was a Ford motor but I cannot remember the last time I saw a CJ and I can guarantee it wasn't all in the open like in a T bucket.

Something to be said for putting the right engine in a vehicle.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Lefty how about more pics and details on the build. I am looking for a truck right now. Yours made me decide on that version as opposed to the previous 30s version.

So I have my feelers out for one and sorry to say a STUDEBAKER as well as I want one of each.

MORE PICS????
