Here's my Coronet. Interior still needs to be finished but it's getting there.

Thanks! Yeah, was worried about converting to 134a freon but it works great!

Since those first photos I've also rebuilt the entire front end, the whole brake system, fixed a couple small rust issues, repainted the roof, installed new headliner, found a used thumbwheel radio in junkyard that actually still worked, installed CD Player inside glove box, new speaker shelf, new shocks, new rear shackles, all new leaf spring bushings, new rims and tires, hood scoops, new windshield and gasket, new radiator, MSD Ignition and entire AC System.

Since I do all my own work myself it has taken a while. Still have to redo all the interior. That's next on the list once I get a couple other things done.

Don't know the actual name of the color. But I do have the NAPA paint code. I'll post it for you as soon as I can find it.
