    I like that you told us how much you paid for 'her'. Definitely worth it !! The tailgate and hatch are in good shape, hard to find for sure.

      Thanks for watching Mark. There is more to come and I ALWAYS let my viewers know how much I have invested in a car. Thats one thing that annoys me with other channels they act like they have a hunk of junk. BUT how much did your "junk" actually cost.

    In Canada, the Plymouth Plaza, was also called a Dodge Crusader, just a rebadged Dodge, and not a U.S Coronet.

    • @somewhatfast
      @somewhatfast  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The front end on the crusader was a little different. But yeah in Canada all the American cars were slightly different or just renamed. Canada restricted American manufacturers from bringing cars in. So the manufactures set up shop in Canada as canadian businesses built the same cars and changed the names a little.

    You do know that if converting from 6v to 12v that the WIRING if good will be more than enough correct? 6v systems have much larger size wiring than 12v.

    • @somewhatfast
      @somewhatfast  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would never use any wiring that is 69 years old. Especially on a car that had the windshield knocked out for 40 years. Its getting rewired.

      @kittyfanatic1980 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@somewhatfast
      Yea probably not advisable if the windshield was out of it. Otherwise I’d say why not if it’s all good bc you’d be running the wiring technically at half rate. If it were me I’d do the rewire and use a converter to handle the 12v down to 6v for the accessories radio etc.
