    Bastardized 1959 "Coronet" build

    Back from our Weirs Beach/Winni tour... Got to see American Graffiti on the big drive in screen while sitting in a custom car... That was freakin awesome.... Boris performed flawlessly other than 1 user error... I didn't manage to think about the fact that the car has DRLs that are on when the...

    We had our first little "mishap". Drove about 70 miles to a friend's house down in Mass then onto a local cruise night. If anyone knows the roads in Mass, they really stink! We hit lots of horrible roads. One was so bad the left muffler decided to pull out of it's hanger... Jackie was driving...

    Changed the new "fog" lights to run on high beams instead of low... Pretty respectable lights. Low beams remain one step above candles...

    Not much to report lately. New lights definitely help. Trunk release using the Corvette parts is pretty nice. Now she is willing to drive it to get groceries cuz she doesn't need to figure out using a screwdriver to open the trunk. Drove it to Maine a couple weeks ago and parked at a marina...

    Needed to add some lights cuz the high beams are about what lows would be and the lows are worthless... It doesn't help that the ridiculous rake aims them at the ground...

    Yeah, I really noticed the lack of metalflake in the Sinnamon pic. It just doesn't seem to know how to do that... But it's still freakin impressive... As a lifelong business apps software guy I have a rudimentary understanding of what that might entail to make this **** work... Just...

    Prolly not.... I'd like to make it to some national event some day but we are more the spontaneous types than the plan a year in advance types...

    I asked it to use Dodge Sinnamon Stick first but it came out way too brown. This one above I asked for copper... I'll have to watch that when we get to actual paint.

    It's working now. No more screwdriver to open the trunk. Tried to upload a video but no love.

    Ed Zachery... Early tests seem to indicate that the Corvette mechanism doesn't have enough power to turn the Coronet latch.... stay tuned...

    Rattle canned the front fenders reddish just to make it look a little more like one car for now.. Fender work will probably wait until fall... then played with some more colors... can't quite get it Sinnamon Stick with the rudimentary tools (and skills haha) that I'm using...

    Got caught in some severe downpours. First water test was mostly successful. I knew it would leak all over the place. Most of the Lexan is not gooped yet, trunk basically has no gasket at all... Overall it did pretty good, we stayed dry less a couple little drips here and there while the carpet...

    1954 Chrysler New Yorker parts??

    I know this car has missed the mark by 1 year, but I also know you guys are the experts... What might the consumable parts availability be like for a 1954 New Yorker? Sources for said parts (brakes, cooling, fuel systems).... thanks!

    With Sinnaman Stick (cinnamon) on the body, we're thinking off white or a light tan for fins, roof and targa.
