Sir I recently found your channel .. from what I've seen you are very knowledgeable in repairing old mopars. I grew up in southeast Iowa.. my first auto purchase was 68 coronet 500 burgundy with white vinyl top auto on floor console bucket seats.. back in 1979
@@ronclaman156 I’m glad you found my channel, it surprised me to find so many people from Iowa on RUclips. I grew up around an auto body shop. My dad had his own body shop and then also taught autos mechanics, welding, and auto body. I started building my own cars back in the early 80s, I would sell them to make money while I was in high school. Your 68 Coronet 500 sounds like it was a beautiful car. I’ve always loved the tail panel on the 68s especially the 500 and R/Ts. Hopefully you keep watching, the 69 Coronet is getting ready to be put on a rotisserie so I can finish all the welding under the car and get the underside painted.
@Millersmopars I also salvage yard/ auto restoration shop from age 14 after school and summer .. in the 80's owned several mopars last 30 years first gens camaro and firebirds restoration hold my .. have small shop engine building for select clients...
@@ronclaman156 I sure miss going to salvage yard like I used to when I was younger. I did go to Doug’s 4 wheelers earlier this year just walked around his yard. It was a good time.
@@ronclaman156 and most of them won’t let you just go walk around the yard. Doug’s 4 wheelers is in south central Iowa he has quite a few old cars, real nice guy to visit with, he loves his old cars and will let us walk around in his yard. If you get a chance and have never been there I highly recommend checking his yard out.
