today while working on the 65 coronet i made an intersting discovery.
had it not been right in front of me i probably wouldnt have believed
it.
I thought i could use my 64 dodge quarters for patching but i
discoverd a very minor differnce in a 64 dodge and a 65 dodge wheel
opening.
turns out that the bulge at the lip of the wheel opening rolls down
much further on the 64. on the 65 the bulge has all but disapperared
by the time it reachs the level of the bottom of the door. and
therfore the wheellhouses would be unique too.
i had heard that the plymouths and dodges had slightly different
shapes to the wheel opening, i have checked that and they do, but i
was under the impression that a 64 and a 65 dodge had the exact same
wheel opening, but not so.
luckily my 65 coronet parts car arrives sunday so i will just have to
wait. thats ok, plenty of other stuff to do
