If you remember #ProjectBeepBeep and its owner Bill, you’ll want to take a look at the newest addition to Bill’s MOPAR farm.

#Project67DC is a beautiful 1967 Dodge Coronet.   In this video/slide presentation, you take a look at this sharp late 60s MOPAR . Bill added a couple of notes that it is dual exhaust with an H pipe and the Coronet is a solid driver. Other than a respray it is original. Vinyl top, interior, and all glass original. No bondo. All sheet metal original.

Take a look!!

#ProjectSR76 Troubleshooting the Power Steering

Like all classic cars, leaks have to be dealt with. I don’t personally subscribe to the notion that all old cars leak. They do until you fix them.

My 76 Stingray gets fewer miles to the quart of power steering fluid than it does miles per gallon of gas. So, I need to shake down the unit to see where it’s coming from.

This video shows my process.

Thanks for watching, and drop me a note, and a like, and subscribe.

There are still some major areas to tackle for the color conversion, but the T-Top inserts are done.

I had to do some repairs, and they aren’t perfect, but they will suffice for now.

Check out the video!

Videos coming up. But here is the before and after for my 76 Stingray’s seat. From this awful gray to a respectable black. I’m converting all the interior to black.

Before And After

 

Gray Carpet gone – Black temporarily in place

Will have to pull out the seat and carpet and put in heat shield, then trim the carpet.  But it is going to look great.

#ProjectSR76 An Alarming Discovery

Maybe the most fun you can have when restoring a old car is the tear down process.  Discovering the hidden gems like signatures of the installer, factory repair tags and other unique things.

#ProjectSR76 is fun to work on for those reasons.

Check out the discovery and don’t forget subscribe updates here and on YouTube.
