i had to sell my 1953 4dr dodge coronet because i could no longer work the old clutch with a new bum knee ive acquired

thanks @blankdeluxe

 

firstly i removed the trunk wing and patched the holes, also deleted the keyhole on the trunk, i swapped out the doorcars for leather ones

i did the phase II TCU power mode

put gutter guard in a custom grille, and where a FMIC mounts lower in the bumper

and didnt document any of it..

 

first were KYB struts with wrx tophats and ebioch 1.5" lowering springs

then i refinished stock 97 BD rims with "aircraft parts paint"

and did breaks, and painted them red :cool:

 

at this point i ripped out all the snorkus stuff, and put on a old RS intake to stock airbox with KnN

i hate how dim our headlights are, so i cracked opened the fogs, removed the reflector and put new bulbs in both headlights and fogs, while i was in there i decided to put LED lightstrips in the bottom (my fav mod so far)

they are hooked upto the drl, and are very bright on their own

had to make a trip to phoenix, and was worried about the heat so i got 30% tint

and installed some gauges (oil & tranny temps)

and did a custom shift boot for the 4EAT with matching ebrake boot

as you can see i also rotated the shifter so the button is forward, i liked it better for quick shifting

 

then we drove 2000 miles with no worries
