Well here we are aging. There's a little more progress on the Coronet and a little more to write about. Judging by the small amount of followers I have this is more if a personal car journal. Another year goes by quickly and another car show my #1950Coronet will not be in. Every year Langley BC puts on a great car show. Hundreds of cars from Canada and the US come to show there fabulous colors and great attention to detail. I've had a chance to move the front bumper in 2.5" in. The rear bumper was moved in when I first started the project. So in total I shorten the over all length of the car 5". The way the front bumper was mounted from factory you could of put a continental kit on the front of the car. I've just lifted it up on jack stands this week and am running fuel lines and the electric fuel pump. My son and I finally did a full bleed of the new break lines.

Seem like I'm moving in leaps and bounds lately but the end seems so far away. A quote in having the seats re finished came back really high. Doing some Craig's list snooping I considered some leather buckets. The cost for a Audi interior is a 3rd of what the redo is. Keeping to the look and theme I want it look like I'm forking out some serious dough. Ill be blogging after the car show this year and will post a few pics.
