Tyler,

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on not only your fortunate inheritance but your obvious appreciation for what you have and your determination to keep it in your family! Four generations of ownership has got to be pushing for a record (that's fodder for another thread if anyone wants to pick it up) and the vehicle is a Mopar. Great! You have children yet? Plan on making it five generations?

You've certainly been doing your homework before posting, a gift which I, alas, do not share with you. When GTK jumps in as the first responder I think he's also favorably impressed, as will be others once your thread has been read by more forum members.

Nice going, Tyler, and the best to you and your project.

-Randy

I'm a fairly new guy also with a 49 coronet 2dr. The first thing I did was spend some time every day reviewing old posts on this forum. It took weeks and I felt like I had learned a tremedous amount of stuff that has helped me.

I'm convinced that this is one of the very best forums anywhere. I check new posts everyday.

Tyler, where are you? Sometimes help is close.
