Yep, the project got extended by a bunch when I decided to use the Coronet engine in the Duster. That worked out great but then I had to source and build a new engine for the Coronet. Building a new engine for the Coronet allowed me to solve a bunch of lingering issues that I had with the car but the project ended up taking 2 years rather than a few months since I spent most of my time working on the Duster. Now that the Duster has been sold I was able to get back on the Coronet. Got the exhaust installed and finished up with some trim pieces and the grill. Just need to put the hood back on and tidy up a few things in the interior and I can start putting some miles on the car. I've mellowed the car out enough that it probably doesn't qualify as a street/strip car anymore. The engine made 600 hp on the dyno but with the Try Y headers and 2.5 inch exhaust and 3.23 gears it doesn't really feel that strong. Probably a 12 second car these days.
