Strange sight for a Texas based car.
^^^ Someone drove that rascal to Tx from?? lol OR maybe the panhandle!
Looks like it might have spent some time in Canada eh?
While installing mini starter in the 67 Coronet in order to move it so I could move the swingers engine into position for install we ran into a problem. It has a 360 magnum as well. There is a bump on the magnum that is not on the LA. Shouldnt matter as I used a magnum starter? Nope a little grinding on both magnums and we are back on track.

If you happen to be in the PNW, I have a dash frame that will fit real nice in there, and IIRC, it's uncut

I will eventually patch it. Thank you though.
Transmission, converter, starter, covers, exhaust, oil and filter done. Have a bolt to extract, install intake, fuel pump, water pump, power stearing pump, carb, new radiator, dizzy and who knows what else.
Well bolt problems on the 4bbl intake necesitated a switch to the 2bbl intake.
She fired up easier than I thought she would. Thanks go out to @dartfreak75 and @318willrun for the push in the right direction.

Great work bud! Glad its running. You can get that broken bolt out! Take a nut and thread it on and weld it on the top. Heat around the hole and it will come out. I like to heat around the bold then spray some penatrate then reheat again then try to ease it out.
Cant get penetration on the grade 8 bolt, only on the nut. But will get it eventually.

Those dang things can be stubborn. I broke one of the exhaust studs off in my head I tried everything ended up having to drill it and retap it. I managed to get it centered enough that I didn't have to go up a size in thread just drilled out the the old bolt and cleaned out the threads
I need to get a better drill bit and drill it out on the milling machine.

Yes a milling machine would make life alot easier unfortunately I have access to stuff like that.

Great job. I find these threads so satisfying to read. I dragged home a barracuda that was sitting in a back alley for 3 years and got it back on the road.
Keep us posted.
