You can tell me here that would be great

@@caseyoingo6440 I can’t think of anything much worse then welding under a car, luckily I have some pretty good friends in the car restoration industry and one that let me borrow his rotisserie. The Dutchman panel idea seems to be a popular idea with everyone I’ve talked to about it. Thanks for the support I’m glad you like my videos.

Good work. I’d keep the Dutchmen/ quarter panel seam as is. But I’m a stickler for originality, and honestly, kind of boring. So don’t listen to me.

@ I’m more of a hotrod guy myself but I do enjoy looking at an all original car and appreciate the design and craftsmanship that were put into them back in the day. I haven’t decided which way I’m going to go yet, thanks for the support.

@@heathvice8365 this car has been one thing after another, luckily I’ve collected parts over the years to help with putting it back together. Thanks for the support

a coronet is a B body .. super B body

It’s a Coronet and the Super Bee is also a Coronet. I have 3 different Coronets, the green one is a 69 Super Bee but that’s not the one I’m working on in the 69 Coronet videos.

@@strangelove6757 it’s definitely that him and I get this time to do this together. Most people don’t get the time before it’s too late.

@@Millersmopars Drifters at the end great ending. Had me cracking up.

@@strangelove6757 I have a couple more videos of them guys I’ll be putting at the end of the next 2 videos.

@@NewhouseofSpeed that stitch welding is definitely a monotonous process but the end result makes it worth it. Thanks for watching and the support. Is your Satellite done?

@@Millersmopars no it’s still work in progress

@@NewhouseofSpeed I honestly don’t think they are ever actually done at least there seems to be always something to tinker on lol

@@Millersmopars you’re definitely right on that. I’m trying to get rid of all the rust for now.

It seems just when a guy thinks he has tackled all the rust there is more. I found more rust in the front frame rail when I removed the steering sector. I’m probably going to have to cap that frame rail. To repair it I’m going to have to take it back off the rotisserie

@@Spiritof_76 if I were going to do it over I’ve I probably would do it that way, I think that would make it stronger. Glad you like the video

@@olsonspeed I have never heard of that brand before but I’m definitely going to look into it. I’m still not the most impressed by the HF brake it works but it’s about all I can say that is positive about it. Thanks for suggesting the better option.

@@Millersmopars I was very close to buying the HF brake when I checked Amazon and found the Vevor. Thanks for your DIY video.

@@NewhouseofSpeed I check out your channel and subscribed, that F8 69 satellite is definitely cool, I believe I have the interior out of a sport satellite that is the same exact colors and pattern. The original window sticker is definitely a nice bonus. I agree stitch welding those quarters in does feel like a million and a half spot welds but it’s worth it in the end to take the time and not hurry it too much. Thanks for watching and thanks for the support.

@@Millersmopars your welcome and thank you for watching too. I look forward to seeing your coronet build come together.

@@SRT-x9p well let’s see what cars you have done if you think it’s a hack job

@@Millersmoparsnothing wrong with the way you applied this rear quarter panel, welding across the top of the quarter panel is far more stable for the body filler and it’s long term rather than welding at the roof seam in my opinion. The roof seam will flex and crack just my opinion and my experience actually 😊 The car is coming along nicely! You picked up a troll I see 😊 SRT I bet he hasn’t even used a welder.

@@caseyoingo6440 thank you I’m glad you like what I’m doing and like the car. I went with the 80% quarters because of the cost I believe they were about half the price of the complete quarters. I can see where this would crack at the seams, but have never actually put them on a car. I’ve always patched in the panels. As of the SRT guy with a name like that he sounds like he is more into the newer Mopars so he probably buys his cars and drives them. My cars are garage built never bought cause that’s all I can afford lol

@@ronclaman156 I’m glad you found my channel, it surprised me to find so many people from Iowa on KZbin. I grew up around an auto body shop. My dad had his own body shop and then also taught autos mechanics, welding, and auto body. I started building my own cars back in the early 80s, I would sell them to make money while I was in high school. Your 68 Coronet 500 sounds like it was a beautiful car. I’ve always loved the tail panel on the 68s especially the 500 and R/Ts. Hopefully you keep watching, the 69 Coronet is getting ready to be put on a rotisserie so I can finish all the welding under the car and get the underside painted.

@Millersmopars I also salvage yard/ auto restoration shop from age 14 after school and summer .. in the 80's owned several mopars last 30 years first gens camaro and firebirds restoration hold my .. have small shop engine building for select clients...

@@ronclaman156 I sure miss going to salvage yard like I used to when I was younger. I did go to Doug’s 4 wheelers earlier this year just walked around his yard. It was a good time.

@Millersmopars not many old salvage yards left around here most don't keep anything more then 10 years old...

@@ronclaman156 and most of them won’t let you just go walk around the yard. Doug’s 4 wheelers is in south central Iowa he has quite a few old cars, real nice guy to visit with, he loves his old cars and will let us walk around in his yard. If you get a chance and have never been there I highly recommend checking his yard out.

@@deandee8082 yes they sure did. The memories I have with these old cars runs pretty deep. Thanks for watching

@@endall6783 I could have called the channel The Old Guy Garage. lol I’ve always thought if you’re not making mistakes then you’re probably not trying. Over the years I’ve done many cars but not to this extent. Once I get the new quarters welded in it’s going on a rotisserie to finish all the welds in the floor and under the car. Thanks for watching I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

@@heathvice8365 my goal was to save it for under $10,000, I don’t believe that is possible but it’s not going to be too much over that. Thanks for watching.

@@stoneyswolf that would be a good plan except all the support for the truck lid are loose from the the inner fender wells so there would be nothing to hold it in place. Maybe I’m not understanding how that would work.

@@endall6783 it’s great I actually get this time and we both have this common interest. After he retired from doing auto body repair and teaching auto body he did stained glass. He had no interest in doing body work. I started putting my Super Bee back together he started coming out to my shop more and more. Then when I bought this project he really got excited. I only work in the car on weekends and he comes out around noon but he is great to bounce questions off of. That being said a lot has changed in the last 25 years in the auto body industry but the concept is still the same.

I’m sorry to hear about your dad. I almost lost mine 3 years ago, I feel we are on borrowed time. He was actually told not to go to sleep while he was being life flighted to Mercy to get new heart valves. Thanks for the compliments I’m glad you like what we are doing.

Yes it is. Thanks for watching.

Thank you glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the support.

Thank you, I’ve clipped a few cars in my day but this one is way different. Thanks for the support

I’m glad you found my channel I hope you enjoy my videos. Thanks for the support. I bought my first 69 Coronet over 40 years ago. I was 16 then, wasn’t my first car but back then I would buy cars fix them up and sell them. I never sold the Super Bee. It’s the Green car in my videos.

I’m going to try and come from the bottom up first and see if that’ll work. I also thought maybe the windshield.

@@MikeDiamond-g8q sand blasting these cars will warp the sheet metal.

@@JohnAvery-wc3zb I’m sorry to hear about your phone, I’ve never had my phone stolen, I usually mess up the screen from welding too close to it. I’m really hard on smart watches lol

@@caseyoingo6440 my Super was painted in 94, I know what you mean, time seems to take its toll. Now we seek to have better technology to combat the rust. One thing I always tell my wife a car is never done, the work in it just slows while you get to enjoy it more. Hope you liked the video thanks for the support.

@@ClydePodvin I guess that depends on what you call a lot of money. I’ve been building these old Mopars mostly 68 and 69 Coronets for over 40 years. As you can see from my shop I don’t throw much an away, I have a pretty good pile of parts. I paid $1800 for both cars and the rear clip. I have 5 68-70 440 blocks, one is at the machine shop now, I have the complete drive train minus a drive shaft, all the interior except carpet and headliner. I don’t have $5000 in the car at this time and that’s buying quarters, floor, LH trunk extension, and outer fenderwells. Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for the support.

@@karensavarese5684 measure, measure again and when ya think everything is perfect remeasure just to be safe. I’m actually using the outer wheelhouses to measure between them and the back side of the jams. I was getting g ready to start tacking parts of the rear clip when I ran out of gas for my welder. Thanks for the suggestions and the support.

@@jamesf4405 thank you. The front of the car is pretty solid but the rear was Swiss cheese. I fixed a spot in front of the k member on the right side, they’d been working rearward.

@@baconlips yeah my shop isn’t the cleanest but I’m glad you liked the video. Thanks for the support.

@@average-joe-citizen1 I think I’m going to try and grind the sides down more it still wants to lift when I try to bend a full length 16 gauge sheet metal. This way worked great with a smaller piece but I was trying to make a peace for the tail panel trim on my 69 Coronet R/T and it kept lifting on me.

Yeah it’s a huge project. I didn’t get a video posted this week, I ended up going to car show and dealing with floods last weekend. This weekend I came down to get that tail panel and found an English wheel at harbor freight in Iowa city on my way home. I spent today putting that together then modifying it and the 33” brake also from harbor freight to make them better and more user friendly. Thanks for the support and subscribing.

That definitely sounds like a cool car. Makes a guy wonder if it was a White Hat Special. I fell in love with these old Coronets when I was quite young, my dad had an A12 Super Bee. He sold it and the last time I seen it was in the late 70s, it was in a salvage yard in 2 pieces. Looked like it was wrapped around a pole or tree. It was also an automatic on the column. I’m glad you liked my video thank you for the support.

My dad told me he got the 2 barrel 383 for gas mileage..I laugh about that now..also in the old Blue Motors Manuals the 2 barrel was tated at 330 hp and well over 400 lb ft of torque. There was only 1 gas station in Fort Worth Texas that sold leaded gas and that 10. something compression engine hated it and pinged and knocked really bad and sold it it 76-77 for $800.. the speedometer was the wide one that went left to right in a long sweeping motion..loved that car.. Only Super Bees had the somewhat same body style.​@@Millersmopars

20 years??? Well it does take longer when you work another job 60-70 hours every week and do this in the weekends but I don’t think it’s going to take me 20 years lol Thanks for your support.

Yep definitely been doing some gravel jamming lol

I’m glad you found my video useful. Love the 69 Roadrunner my 2nd favorite car in line after the Super Bee. Thanks for watching and the support.

I never thought of chaining the trailer to the cart, that is a good idea. Thanks for the support I’m glad you liked the video.

Yes the plan right now is to use everything from the jams back on the quarter panels. There is some rust on the rear clip on the drivers side lower quarter panel inner and outer but I believe I can repair that. I’m still trying to figure out the what I’m going to do in front of the rear wheels because the bottom of that is bad on the other cars as well. I’m not finding just a front quarter patch panel. If I have to buy full quarter then I may end up just using the inner quarters and trunk.

I love this color too. Hard to believe the 68 R/T started its life off as a white stripe delete car with red interior. About as plain Jane as a 68 Coronet R/T could be. Glad you found my channel and like my car. Thanks for the support.

@@Millersmopars My first car was a 1968 Plymouth Valiant Signet Brougham, 2 dr 318 posi in Aztec with dark red interior. I'm considering painting my '74 Dart Sport Aztec. Gotta keep those old Mopars rolling.

@@verlontaylorwindham I would love to find a 68 Valiant maybe someday but my wife says one project at a time. I keep telling her ya can’t have too many Mopars 😂

@@Millersmopars My ex wife sold my Valiant to the scrap yard while I was deployed. I miss that car. Keep an eye on the Mopar, it's a beauty.

@@verlontaylorwindham wow that too bad. I had to sell my 69 Roadrunner to pay for a divorce but I was able to keep my Super Bee. Thank you for your service.

I understand what you’re saying at the same time I never once said I was switching the vin numbers on any car, I using 3 cars to build one makes it hard to determine which fender tag to read. It was an honest statement. Thanks for your support.

@@Millersmopars Sorry I was not trying to imply that you were switching VINs, I just didn't understand your statement of "trying to rebuild the RT". Oh well, drive on.

@@MH-rb7lp what I’m doing to this car is well documented, nothing about it is original. The body numbers or sequence numbers you speak of on the radiator support, isn’t going to match the one on the trunk drip well. Nether of them will match the vin number, the vin number on the engine isn’t going to match the one on the dash nor the one on the transmission. I haven’t decided if I’m even going to put an automatic or 4 speed in the car yet but the vin won’t match any other on them either. I’m planning on painting the car citron yella which is a 71 color with a 6 pack hood R/T stripe, taillights and tail light /with trim panel. Like to put a Dana 60 in it but right now I’ll probably use an 83/4. It being built mostly as a driver with a majority of parts I have collected over the years.

Thank you for the support. I love these old Coronets. My 69 Super Bee is like that I bought it in 83 it about as rust free as they get for a Midwest car.

Some time I feel about as crazy as the mad hatter for taking on the project but all in all I’m enjoying it. Thanks for the support.

Thank you

I would have to agree I like the tic toc tach rally dash. I believe the 150 mph sweep gauge was only in the 68 and 69 GTX and R/T which makes it kind of cool and more rare. Thanks for watching my video and thanks for the support.

I’m trying my best to spend as much time with him that I can. My dad is the reason I love these old cars as much as I do. Dad was a mechanic in the marine Corps in the early 60s by the late 60s he had his own body shop. He would buy wrecked muscle cars, repair them and then sell them. As a kid I can remember GTOs, ford Galaxies, Sport Satellites, Chargers. 2 cars I loved the most, his 69 Roadrunner, and most of all his 69 A12 Super Bee. Now I’m trying to keep his mind and body active helping me with my cars. I really do most of the work as to be expected but it gives him a reason to get out of the house.

The crossmember, floor were rusted so bad the car had already started to twist inwards on the passenger side. I have the car squared up and supported on the frame rails to build it front to back. I was talking about the body seems and that is a great idea, I hadn’t thought about doing it that way. The Special Forces Banner was my father in laws. He was special forces in Vietnam. It was hung in my shop after his passing to honor him and his service. Thanks for the advice, and thanks for the support. I will definitely use sheet metal over the seems that is a great idea.

@@Millersmopars Gotcha, as you know its sometimes difficult to ascertain the entire situation watching a video. You obviously have it covered and have a plan going forward. I might have missed it but why are you putting so much effort into this car? Not saying you shouldn't but its a lot of work and a lot of money for what appears to be a plain jane Coronet. Just to be clear, I am not criticizing in anyway, just that you don't see many people going to these lengths for a non performance car, I applaud your tenacity. I am currently building a 71 Charger that was a 318 AT bench seat car and have spent over $60K on it already so I am not one to talk... LOL Thoughts out to your father-in-law, I retired from Special Forces after 26 years and consider it to be the greatest time of my life. Keep up the great work, I have subscribed.

@@MH-rb7lp the original idea for the build was a 69 Coronet R/T I bought a few years ago. It had been cut up so bad by a guy selling parts off it for over the years there is nothing left but outer rockers that are usable. The inner quarters where the rear windows go were cut out the roof was cut so bad that only a couple inches held it on to the quarter panels. And what was there for the roof looked like Swiss cheese. The quarter panels were cut off the car and the back panel was cut in half between the tail lights. The 4 speed hump was cut out tog the car, the rest of the floor was rusted away. The torsion bar crossmember was cut out where the torsion bars went. One frame rail was cut for some reason. The dash frame was left the ended tag was still in place and I actually located the original doors off the car. I then bought this car which is a 440 318 car and a 4door rear clip I plan to build the car out of all 3 using as much of the R/T as I can. I joined the army in 1985 was in the 75th Ranger Regiment stationed at Ft Benning. I should’ve stayed in and retired but hind sight is 20/20. Thank you for your service.

@@Millersmopars Thats quite a journey but I completely understand where you are coming from. That said you should quite a few parts to choose from in order to make this a reality. Rangers lead the way!!! lol I joined in 78 and spent some time in various units and then went to the 82nd from which I left and went to SFQC then on to 1st SFG where I spent the rest of my career retiring as a CW3. It was a good run but then when I knew I was going to retire I bought a basket case 70 Challenger RT to build followed by a 73 Cuda, then a 70 Roadrunner, then a 68 FB Cuda... lol it became a bit of an addiction... Good luck and stay in the fight!

@@MH-rb7lp I thought I had a lot of Mopars, that’s quite the list. I do this for the love of these cars. I work 60-70 hrs a week and work on cars just on the weekends. I’m definitely in it for the long haul, in fact I’m looking for the next one to start after this one done lol

Did he use a 4 door rear clip too? I’ve helped section cars before but we had a frame machine to help measure the cars out on. Unfortunately that was destroyed in a shop fire several years ago. I’ve never tried to go from a 4 door to a 2 door. The roads in the Midwest are pretty flat for the most part, in Iowa we grow a lot of corn. Lol Thanks for the compliment on my 68 R/T it’s holding up well for a car that was restored 24 years ago. It has brought a lot of good family time for the last 40 years. I’m glad you enjoyed my video and thanks for the support

@@Millersmopars no if I remember right it was a two door rear clip he used to section the R/T

I agree pretty easy to service. Is this what you’re looking for? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYPLfZVtnrKoqJIsi=I6am8QJDf73srM59
