moopa OP enthusiast Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 375 An Island in the Pacific N.W.	I've picked up another '72 Satellite Project car from a fellow Moparts member. My other Satellite project is on hold because this car is so much more solid and my goal is to have it a decent driver in less than 2 years. Hopefully I will be able to do most of the work myself, and I plan on building it the way that suits my tastes,not worrying about numbers or originality. It will not be another Road Runner clone, although it my look alot like one when I'm done. I'm perfectly OK with an air grabber hood, a rear wing and a Satellite name tag.This car will be a slow project as I will be lucky to spend 10-20 hours a week on it. It's a 318 ,auto, A/C car, factory color is Doeskin Poly( first time hearing of that one). It's a very solid car with alot less rust than my other Satellite. bounus#1! There's some along the window to quarter panel seams,some in the trunk floor( which I plan on saving) , but next to nothing on the 1/4s, doors fenders and rockers.Since it's an AC car, it already has the 26" rad opening...Bonus#2! Here's what I started out with( thanks to the prev owner's pics). Mark 7019977-6863016-PSSfrontdriversidemod..PNG (334 downloads) Last edited by moopa; 01/15/12 03:19 PM.

Quote: Looking ugly You know, i was a bit worried about what that was going to look like... I'm usually pretty good at guessing whats hiding. Thats not bad at all. Good fix too. I was thinking about that door though. If you cant fix it, as in get all the creased points/gouge out, why not just re-skin the bad part? The rest ov the door is going to be as rock-solid as the car is, and is original. If that was me and my Challenger i'd just re-skin the unfixable part with another original Challenger door skin. That could save a bunch ov filler if you do keep the door. Good job on keeping that trunk floor too. Everyone is always so quick to replace savable ORIGINAL metal with cheaper aftermarket tin.

moopa OP enthusiast Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 375 An Island in the Pacific N.W.	Thanks Ron, PM me if you have any 71/72 parts left. Here's the shrinking discs...a 5" and a 9". Trick is to Hammer/dolly metal,then heat up the high spots with the shrinking disc, and cool rapidly with mist of water and the heated metal is supposed to shrink back down to the level of the surrounding metal. So it's a slow process, but experts say with patience, there should be a need for very little filler. ...We'll see...

Oh, I forgot to mention, I plan on going with some kind of stout big block, possibly a 400 or 440( I have one of each to use if I go that route).Or a stroker of some kind. I'd like to retain the A/C...if it's not too much of a pain. I'd like it to be a menacing street machine, that I can take on the highway for cruises up and down the Island. The plan right now is a high impact Mopar color,or possibly triple black if the bodywork turns out good.I already have the complete black (bucket seats) interior and new black vinyl top purchased, along with re-chromed front/rear bumpers.Wheels will probably be old school mags, or...??? That's a long way off! Here's my first Road Runner from 1981....love this look...I know, I'm lost in a time warp!

Well ok, if it will make you feel better...I found a couple of holes....likely the culprit for the rust on the driver's side floor pan, no doubt from years of wet leaves/debris sitting in there.

Ya, I was just thinking it's too far gone, not salvageable...looking for a cliff to push it over....( LOL J/K!)But seriously, I snapped out of it, and realized it's a heck of allot better than my other 2 projects, and less rust than most other resto projects out there. Very nice place to start, and I could care less that it's a Satellite and not a Road Runner,it's my favorite Mopar body style, and that's all that matters. 2015 TorRed Challenger Hellcat,A8 2013 Plum Crazy Challenger SRT8,6 Spd 2013 Black Challenger R/T Classic,auto (2)72 Satellites, one on hold,one under resto on the rotisserie.

Using the following blasting equipment: homemade pressure blaster, confined space blower,uses 12" accordion style vent tube, and finally, a fresh air breathing unit...it's such a dirty messy job...but at least I'm doing it at home and not having to pay someone else to do it.

moopa OP enthusiast Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 375 An Island in the Pacific N.W.	I was searching for photos of brackets used to mount a 71-72 Plymouth B Body to a rotisserie, but didn't see any I liked. The rotisserie manufacturer suggest using the single bolt hole mounts....and it made me queezy, so I came up with these front mounts that use the front bumper bracket bolt holes.( the factory single hole mount brackets slide through the brackets I made out of 3" angle iron and 2 1/2" square tubing. Due to to offset of the bumper bolt holes, I needed to weld a piece of 1/4" flat bar to the angle iron.) They are very stable, and with the set bolts, I can slide the brackets to get the front rotisserie assembly as close as I want it. [image]http://[/image] [image]http://[/image] Then for the rear I fabbed up some stout brackets that mount to the rear spring mount. Even though its only mounted with one bolt, I added some 2"x 1/4" square tubing between the frame and bracket to prevent pivoting.
