Finally have had a few chances to get the 1950 dodge coronet to the local Friday night Tim Hortins car meet up spot. There's usually about 50 cars that show every week. Other then needing a fan shroud or switching to a electric fan the cars been great. I did develop a strange vibration on the motor last week. After farther inspection I found the harmonic balancer was the cause. I pulled the balancer to find the main bolt the hold the balancer into the crank was at some point stripped. I had a hard time decided wither to Healy coil it or over size the bolt. After talking to a bolt expert and finding out how hard it would be to get the bolt I would need, so I went with option A. It seems to be  holding great with out farther incidence. Ill throw in a pic of the Coronet rescuing a 1967 Firebird at the local beer store and one from the car meet.
