Thanks! I appreciate that. These cars are a lot of fun. I checked out your channel as well and subscribe to it. I may need a good machinist sometime!

Dude! Super stoked for your win! People really are starting to appreciate "out of the box" cars. Really glad you shared the only truth that matters. Jesus is the only way! Can't wait to see what you're gonna do next.

Went on a quest last year to find my first car, which was a maroon metallic 76 Coronet but after I saw how awesome the older ones looked, I bought a F8 green 72 Coronet (base model under yours) near Houston. You’re right that not many survive. I think way too many were smashed in every TV show and movie as cop cars and taxies for about 20 years and every 70s -era movie since. I’ve always loved the curves on these cars and in my opinion today’s chargers look more like an updated coronet. I’ve added you to my massive playlist for 4-dr 71-78 B-bodies. Reach out if you are looking for a particular part. I might have it or know where to look. I just picked up a 73 wreck for parts near Dallas and then a 78 Monaco (same car) fell into my hands from Florida. I plan to transfer the good front fenders, hood, and bumper from the 73 onto the 78! I’m located near Baton Rouge and there are zero of these cars around here since the filmed several 70’s era movies, including the Dukes of Hazard Remake

Thanks for watching man. I'll definitely keep you in mind. I will more than likely need parts. I think the 71 - 72 coronets are the best looking 4 door cars made. I'll check out your playlist.

[@BigBadJones]

You should make a video on the Monaco build. Don't see much of those.

Having fun what it’s all about

Amen! thanks for watching!

Hey - your new AC video won’t play. Says it’s “Private”

[@BigBadJones]

Weird? It's says it's public on my end?

I run a '76 Valiant sedan in TDS events; 12" rotor swap, 11.2" rotors on an 8.75" (back braced & with a 489-case 3.23 SG), Bergman Auto Craft front suspension & steering set up, Firm-Feel rear sway bar along with XHD springs (poly eye bushings), 26" radiator with the HD cooling,US Car Tools subframe connectors, toque boxes, core support reinforcement, A-pillar/inner fender bracing, 318 that sports a forged 340 crank, forged I-beam rods, KB pistons, windage tray, '308' cast heads from a '90 360, good cam that works with the combo...car looks like it just punched a hole in the space-time continuum and arrived from 1978 in all it's beige glory. Like the Coronet, has a similar vibe to it. People react very favorably to the ol' Valiant, it's not common anymore & so many have memories of parents having one, their friend had one, grandparents/grand aunt or uncle, or they had one "Back in the day."

[@BigBadJones]

Sounds like an awesome car and a good time! Hope to hot rod this one some.
