Definitely more of that bee used than of the rr I used. I believe 4 door vs 2 door coronet has a different wheelhouses. I was told that at least. I know for sure plymouth are the same at least physically, not sure on part #.

I haven't made any progress on it since the last pics. Just too much other stuff going on still... but plan is to finish it for next spring.

Got the one piece floor pan and 2 rear pans installed. Replaced the center of the trunk floor, got the rollbar installed and new roof skin. Need to fix the door, some rust/dents, but otherwise metal works about done now.

It's been minitubbed too... still need to do the inboard spring relocation. Plan to do a triangular 4 link later, so I can reuse the front inboard spring location then too.

Just a quick pic of where its at now... been fixing dents mostly in the doors, stripping old paint and working on the seam/fitment of panels. Should be in epoxy primer soon, not going to do much more body work to it, then put down some silver paint with a satin clear. I don't have the desire to block and block the body all winter.

Been a while, but took a week to do the body work and get some epoxy on it. Few spots to fix yet on the shell. Doors aren't done yet... but should be painted before it gets cold here.

Hoping to paint it in a few weeks. I went back over a bunch of areas and it's pretty much a few hours from high build primer now then wetsand and spray. I have another project I'm working and trying to get both ready to paint at the same time to save the hassle of cleaning the paint room twice. More pics to come soon. Also experimenting with exhaust fans right now too as my old one I was getting blow back... then went to another that pulls way too much air.

Also still deciding on a color. I have silver paint for it, but considering rally green instead as my dad raced his 69 runner in the 70s and that was color it was.
