I have had this coronet for a few years now just starting on it. Previous owners butchered it it, air chisled out the wheel wells and trunk floor and messed up the quarters, however is a very solid factory 4 speed car, but will be alot of work, thinking about just putting a rear clip on it, I have and excellent parts car. any input or ideas are welcome..I have a 6 speed richmond tranny with long shifter I plan on installing in it, the original dana is still in it.

personally, Id use that as a very last resort. it the rails are good in the car, Id just get AMD stuff thats readily available and fix what you got. I kind of dont like messing with the whole 'structure' of the car like that unless its nessisary. sweet looking coronet! 68 it one of my absolute favorite!

If that rear clip is as good as it looks I would use it that way you have factory sheetmetal and not repop metal.

pic of parts car. Thinking about putting this rear clip on. any input?? Thanks Moparts
If you clip the car, you will loose some valuable stamped numbers and will leave some tell tale signs that the car had the rear clip replaced and that would seriously effect the value of the car.

Another vote for not hacking the back off and using the donor clip. transfer what you need, no more. Dave
