  1. I used the vinyl that is used on the kick panel of cabinets or sometimes walls. They come in 4ft sections I think if I remember correctly. But if you flip the pcs over, they have small ribs, sort of like the original look. I cut to fit and for about $5, look great (in my opinion).
  2. Took her out for her 1st cruise of the year also 1st time out since I lowered her last week. Everything checked out fantastic and getting out was even better!
  3. Thanks for all the responses. To answer some, it broke when I was trying to remove the nut, so I could change out the shocks. I do not know if the air shocks (on when I got the car) put to much tension on that end over time, or if it was cross threaded before, or if it was just rusted on. But when I went to remove, it broke right off. I did find a replacement, that I hope will be here today on Amazon, it is actually a Monroe part #. Some of the "universal" ones I found were too small on the threads going into the axle mount. I was able to break it all free, and now just waiting on the new part to arrive. Thanks all!
  4. Well, I have my first broken bolt, guess my luck ran out. Best suggestions now?
  5. As it gets close to time to take my 50 Coronet out of hibernation, I am going through the checklist of items. One item that in "my mind" I thought I have read somewhere, is that the brakes do not self adjust and need to be adjusted "so often". Car was braking fine in late fall, so is this something I need to adjust, and if so how often do I need to?
  6. Where would be a good spot to tap into the 6V circuit on my 50 Dodge? Not an electrical guy and I do not want to tap into a wrong spot and cause any issues.
  7. Well the project started in the winter, and carrying over to spring
  8. As I am having an interior makeover this winter on my 50 Coronet. I thought I would share what was found when my headliner came out. Any info that you all would be able to add would be cool. I plan to frame it once I am all done.
  9. Finished my wheel up and installed this weekend.
  10. I'm redoing my steering wheel this winter also. I have a Krylon Almond with Tri glass clear. I can post pics also when completed.
  11. Thank you all for the response. Helps a lot.
  12. 50 Coronet that I will he lowering 2 in. Stock replacement calls for Monroe 31000 or any brand similar. My question is do I need to find a 2in “shorter” shock, or will the 2 in drop not make a difference in shock choice?
  13. Thanks JSabah for the pics. Still thinking someone has a color name that would match close to original. Thanks again for the pics.
  14. Trying to find a current rattle can color to match my steering wheel. My wheel paint is either rubbed off or faded bad enough that I cant try and match. Has anyone repainted a wheel for a 50 Dodge Coronet that could send me a paint name that would match close to original. Thanks in advance.
  15. I wanted to circle back and thank everyone for the assistance. Purchased a new sending unit, repaired the old section of wire and now have a perfect working system. Thanks again!
