Pics of how it arrived. The landau quarter windows will be swapped to the standard glass.
I will be making it a Day 2 tribute to the 70's street car. Without the phsycadelic (sp) paint job.

That will make a nice ride. Used to be a black R/T or RR (decals removed) w/ Centerlines near me. Sounded very healthy and looked very good. Never had the chance to stop by and talk to the guy. Tim

Since this car will never be worth too much, I am cutting a few corners and saving weeks of work and lots of money in some of the repairs I do.
The cowling had many holes, and overall was paper thin in alot of it. Seems the paint never reached the obscured areas so in rusted out pretty good.
There is no way I would cut the upper cowl off to properly replace the lower, so I opened up the cowl a bit and sand blasted the entire area, I used an epoxy laminating resin to coat and layup the entire cowl area, kinda like a full tray and then a coating of flex seal liquid to protect the resin.
I'm sure I'll hear blasphemy from someone for the way I fixed it, but otherwise the car would not be saved.

I did the same thing to my 76 Volare in 1988, I used a 440, Headman E body 2" headers and fabbed solid motor mounts. The car was new enough at the time I was able to get new quarters and a grill from mopar, with a little trimming on the front i can get a 30 x 10.5 to fit. If you want to save about 300 lbs make bumper brackets to replace the crash bars and energy absorbers at both ends.
I got my Volare for $150 from the back row of a chevy dealer, 73k on the clock.
Have a great day Iowan

Wow Henry nice job bro, i didnt realize how much work youve been doing on it. dont get too carried away, i know the fabrication of the build is what you really enjoy but try to remember, its to be a fun driver not a show car ha ha ha. (since Dan @performance only (RIP) isnt around anymore, someone need to pick on you to keep you in check.) copper

After a couple weeks of working on other things I was able to dedicate a few days to the engine compartment.
First I did the bodywork to the repaired rusty areas on the firewall, then stripped the paint off the rest of the panels, primed with metal etch, and a bit of rattle can high build primer, sanded it completely then COLOR

Took the day to install the engine and trans and a few other items, I wire tied the headers into the engine bay and nestled the 383 down between them, then I installed the trans from underneath. Went in without a hitch, only one small scuff on the paint behind the right valve cover.
The headers are headman hustler #78030 for a 66-74 B/E-body. Fit really well.

Gauges and gauge panels are installed, face trim is just sitting there it will be trimmed out in silver with body color edging, Still need to drop the fuel tank and install aftermarket shifter then it will be ready to do the engine run in and brakes.

Henry, What did you use to paint the M/T valve covers? On both of my cars I used bed liner to simulate the textured pattern and hide the fact they were cheap swap meet parts...Looks good so far...

It is a rattle can called wrinkle plus. It is VHT brand. I get it at Autozone.
It takes some practice to get real even coats to get a consistent texture

Getting very close to starting the car and being able to drive it a little.
I have to rebuild the front brake calipers and rear brakes, plus hook up the shifter cable. The most recent mock up was my fabricated shroud. It still needs to be cleaned up a bit before I finish the install

Some of you guys may be wondering why it has no roof, well the crappy cardboard headliners with some heat and humidity like to invert themselves and be useless, so I used the roof upside down to create a perfect mold to reshape the headliner.
Some water and heat in the bed of my truck with a topper got it most of the way back, a few platforms and some weight plus my wife's iron got it the rest of the way.
From there, I repaired the cracks, patched the holes where the shoulder belts were, fixed the damaged edges. Then fiberglassed the entire part to make a hardend shell that won't warp with the elements.
I will cover it with a modern type of headliner material when I am finishing the interior.

Yeah, Thanks. My 67 Coronet is on the back burner cause I was mislead in the purchase of these cars. Once I was in, I had to take it to the finish.
Been working alot but took this last week to work on the drivers quarter panel. Did all the rust repair and patches, filled,and blocked it, layed down metal etch primer then two med wet coats of high build.
Going to spin the car around and get the passenger side done next.

Started on tightening up the rear bumper, these things from the factory have a filler panel that warps and breaks plus stick out a good 2 inches on either side, the front is far worse.
I used the trim holes to weld temp brackets to 1/4-20 bolts for placement of the bumper, I will make a new mounting setup next with some built in adjustability

Found this great pic of just how large and bulky the bumpers are and look, not to mention they are 140 plus lbs with the self absorbing crap and the inner bumper structure

Thanks, here are some progress pics of the bumper and brackets. I cut through the absorbing tube to use the factory attaching plates, from there I bent my own brackets. I welded the stock carriage bolts to the backside of the bumper, they made it easy to fill the large square bolt holes.
Tucked it up and in and rebuilt the ends, I did it all with strategic cutting and piecing the the bits I cut off, only fabbed two pieces per side from 1/8 plate.
No fancy tools either, a cutoff disk, 2 lb hammer, bench vise and a welder.

Thank guys, Actually been working a bunch and a few family things have not let me do much. However, I did get the go wing mocked up and the support brackets modified to fit the F body deck lid.
This is a factory b body wing and brackets that a friend of mine picked up at a local swap meet, got it for 175. I am really happy with it.

Thanks fellas, I did pick up two NOS tail lamp bezels from Len Dawson. Gotta tell you they are perfect NOS pieces still in original packaging. But holey crap what junk, those mid 70 cars are made of the cheapest, cheesiest parts made.
Although I really like many of the mid 70 early 80s mopars they are crappy. Well they did go bankrupt in the early 80's... Remember the K car... And you wonder why everyone was buying Honda's and "Datsun's"...... Had a friend buy ALOT of that $1 stock... He did pretty good on that stock buy....

Well finally was able to set aside a few days and got the passenger quarter patched up and first coat of hi build, it still needs a bit of work on the body line around the quarter glass. Next few steps are body the doors and deck lid prep and prime the trunk and door jamb and the add color to the jams. I'm getting close, I hope to drive it to Garlits in November.

Well just more body work and primer, it sure isn't exciting but I do feel accomplished.
Got the roof, trunk jamb, and door jamb primed. Driver door is in really good condition only had to work a few small dings and a small wave about 6" behind the front edge in the middle.
I did get the trunk hinges and support braces painted as they can be masked easy while I continue priming and blocking.

Laid down a couple coats of Zolatone. I had purchased it a year back for the Coronet, but it will be awhile till it needs paint. So for it not to spoil I used in in the Volare, I would have went with a gray if I had bought it for this car, but on the car is better than on the shelf.

Just continuing with body work, priming and blocking, in between of working a lot so not much progress but, I did make up a sample spray out of my color combo.
The gray is kinda like an Argent, I am real happy on how it is gonna look. The hood, fender tops and door tops will get the Argent color in a waterfall type two tone like Dusters

Finally have a week or so that I'm free to work on my car, I hope to get the front fenders and deck lid primed, I started today on tightening up the front bumper similar to what I did on the rear. Here are some pics and I will add more as I get stuff done.

Thanks guys, appreciate the cudos.
Blocked the high build down with 180 and put two final light coats. I will block the entire car a final time with 400 right before spraying color.
I will however be jamming it (painting the jambs, under the deck lid and behind the doors) and attach the deck lid and fenders for the last time before final blocking and color.

there used to be a late '70s Dodge stepside Power Wagon around here with a pic of Kermit on the doors, sweet looking truck, and your car will be too.

Got the driver side jamb shot, and made two risers or benches to stand on to shoot the roof, put 4' flouresent lamp to add light at the rocker level.

Thanks guys, only had a day left before I'm back at work to 70 hour weeks, so I won't get much more done for a couple three months.
But I decided to start on my hood, since the big block with an rpm intake won't fit under the flat hood and I don't want the same Ole scoop that everyone else has on my car, a little fab work was in order.
The doner: wrecked 70 Challenger hood

Some slicing and dicing, measuring once and cutting thrice, some tape and green paint I have half of what I'm going for, working hard on keeping it from looking Pontiacish.
Once I get both sides mocked up I'll decide if I like it enough to do the bodywork to finish.

That looks great! Plus excellent engineering and fabrication.. recycling a wrecked Mopar hood, works with the Volare hood lines, and helps with the clearance you need.
Heck,make a mold of that hood and sell fiberglass copies!! LOL Better put a patent on that puppy,LOL That would be Awesome!

I think you're on the right track. I think it looks way better than other hoods I've seen. The only thing I may have done different would be to remove the center pointed section and left it straight just behind the air inlets, similar to a T/A hood I guess. Kind of a hard thing to test though and not certain it would look any better than it already does. Overall, you should be really happy with it. Very nice work. Always nice to see something different. Edit: I think it looks very nice. Please don't take my input as a negative comment. It was just a thought and I hope it didn't come across wrong... -Trent

I can't convince myself that it is going to look good. Any comments?
Hell yeah that's cool. This is one of my old cars, a buddy did this with a damaged hood we acquired

Ucudant, that is nice, I thought about the Cuda hood but it didn't have enough clearance bulge in the center and the Cuda guys wanted way too much $$ for rust beat up hoods. I just couldn't get past the pointy area that the challenger hood created when I made it follow the factory hood lines. So I cut a couple more times and added a pie piece in the front. It is a Much improved look and I have no issue on moving forward into filler and finish work. This is a kinda hack job, without being to overly concerned with quality work. Lots of filler will surely hide the flubs.

Yeah, thanks. I am happy with the hood now, once I get it in primer it should make a much better photo to see the lines and proportions.
I took the car to a shop to get the front suspension rebuilt and aligned. I could have swapped parts myself but I still would have sent it for an aligment anyway so I'm killing two birds.
Once I get it back. I will button up the top end of the motor and do the run-in and fill the brake system. It will be drivable in a month or so. Then I will prep for paint. Soon soon soon.

Work seriously gets in the way of progress on these projects, unfortunately I'm not wealthy like most everyone else, so here is a long overdue update.
I was able to get about four consecutive days to get the hood pretty close, there is a lot of fabrication so there are a dozen or so small areas that need to be massaged and worked but I was able to etch prime and first coat of hi build.
Overall I am quite pleased

Did you make it functional or is it just for looks? As heavy as the Volare hood is I would cast it in fiberglass as i would your custom bumpers. This is an easy way to remove 200 lbs.
Have a great day Iowan

It is functional and actually looks almost factory from the bottom.
If there was any type of market that I thought I could make some money I would make fiberglass parts. But to actually make it worth the effort I would have to sell 20 units at about 500 each. I don't think there are that many interested in it.
As for the bumpers, the mounting brackets are removed and heavily modified so very few people would be interested in them. Unless I made brackets as well.

Finally blocked the top two more times and worked on the transitions from the stock hood to the scoop panels and sprayed last hi build.
Flipped it over and scraped,wire wheeled, sanded, and cleaned the bottom. I put a light coat of paintable undercoat for some texture, color and a med wet coat of clear.
My shop phone is black to show the contrast to my argent/gunmetal gray. I am quite happy with the look and am getting excited to get the car in color.

Been thinking about the hood and it needs an engine callout, but I already drilled my fenders for 383 badges so....
I made my own fender badges to use the holes because I don't want to weld and bodywork the fenders any more.
Really just an excuse to do something different, I cut out a new name plate and added the angled return for strength and support.

Update, I took a week off to get the car blocked for the final time, built my make shift spray booth and got color on the car. I still need to shoot the two tone on the hood and fender tops but that will be probably Sunday.
Here are a couple pics of it so far.

Some color shots. This is Nason, Ful-Thane SS. Sprayed with a Devilbiss finish line with a 1.5 fluid tip, around 18psi I did get a couple runs on edges and a couple of sags or hangars. I won't post those pics though.

Thanks Guys.
I was able to get the two-tone done today.
I am really happy with the results and the color is exactly what I was going for, it will have good contrast to black accent pieces.

Back when I first began fixing this thing, I cut the cowl open to access the Swiss Cheese beneath. In doing so, The factory plastic cover doesn't fit so I had made an aluminum vent cover. Since paint is basically done went ahead and installed it.
It has panel nails to hold in down.

Finished wetsanding and buffing to where I was originally intended to leave it, got the brakes partially bled, and the exhaust buttoned up so I was able to drive it out of the shop and into the daylight under its own power, I need to raise the front a bit still and add the correct wheels and tires.
Now I can work on finishing the bumpers and interior pieces with the car outside. The side pipes have a cool sound but not as bad as some say with only hearing one bank at a time, I installed a h pipe so I think that helped.
getting closer to a driver and fully expect to have it at the Garlits show this November.

Appreciate it guys, I still have the interior to do, seats and door panels haven't made it to the upholstery shop. Plus the converter, tuning, have the alignment readjusted, some trim still needs paint...... there is still a bunch that needs attention.
Persistence is key. I picked this up on July 2016 so bit over two years. It was supposed to be a quick throw together type job, Boy did that snowball.

Stellar job. Everything you did works. The wheels really look good and the 70's stance makes it on that car. Bumpers really cleaned it up without looking modified.

Here is the first little bit of my grill, I have to clean up the interlocks and adjust the depth a bit then have it welded up. I will do the inserts after it is one piece

Not sure if anyone has asked yet, but are you planning on adding a set of painted quarter window louver's from an F body Road Runner? IMO, those would look right at home on your volare'...

The Sheetmetal around the bumpers is as factory, all the modifications were done to the bumpers and brackets, if you look through the pages to this thread you will see most of the changes made.

I haven't done much but I did get my grill a bit further along.
The inserts are not attached yet, just in place and it will be painted black and then I will polish the leading edges.

OK, I was planning on that anyway.
Here is the grill surround on the car.
Had to make left, right and center bracket.
Ready to do the finish work and paint next.

Added the wheelwell trim and the front and rear glass trim, still waiting on upholstery but I did get my insurance set up and next weekday off I'll be getting my tag to drive it without worry.

You are an artist and a fine craftsman. A lot of work has been put into the subtle details. A car that Chrysler should have designed.

At about 98% done, it's time to let the "Story" be told!
1976 Volare Volatile
You are looking at a pre-production 1976 Plymouth Volare “Volatile”. Specifically built for the Mexican/Austrailian market, the Volatile was meant to be a performance and trim package similar to an R/T or Road Runner that we had here in the states.
Performance
The export market was not concerned with fuel mileage so they opted for a true upgrade from the American market’s small-block 360cid to the big-block 400 4 bbl with an estimated 265 hp, which was alot to have in the gasoline restricted mid-70s. This was mated to a 727 torqueflight transmission w/ a Hurst “Stick Shifter” and then to an 8-3/4” banjo rear axle, gear ratios in 3.55 through 3.91 were available while the 3.23 was standard. Like its American cousins it had standard power front disk, rear drum brakes but was equipped with an oversize front anti-sway bar and optional rear anti-sway bar, tires were 15” polyglass radials mounted on unique cast alloy wheels.
Interior and Accessories
The appointments were typical of all models of that era, but this car had a padded headliner with an overhead consolette but industry new, retractable shoulder belts were omitted. The interior color combinations were special to this model, the front seats were buckets with a floor shift center console, the inserts were cloth in either bold plaids as this car has or bright stripes with solid colored vinyl surround and the same combination for the door panels. Power seats, tinted glass all the way around and power windows were optional but air conditioning was not, surely due to the oversized engine in a mid-size package.
Exterior Details and Colors
Being an export only vehicle the U.S. DOT mandated crash-absorbing bumpers were not installed on this model so smaller more form fit units were stamped but to keep costs down they were not plated but painted the body color or a contrasting shade to the body or trim, as all trim was colored to match. Like the American market versions, the two tone paint scheme was very similar but only came in a few of the high-impact colors of the day, dual sport mirrors were standard, the side markers were similar to the ‘71 Charger units, the rear glass and quarter windows had louvers as an option but they were all equipped with a revamped “Challenger” style fresh air hood and dual scoops, also available was a go-wing from the ’70 model year.
Heritage and the Present
This super rare Plymouth was found in Mexico modified into a “Hot Rod” by what we believe was the original owner, (A Chrysler Corporate, Export Division Principle) titled in his name but never registered as we would here in the states. Seems the 80’s custom tricks were abound as it had a hole cut through the hood for a velocity stack, headers, side-pipes, traction bars, lots of stickers, air shocks and of course big and little 14” aluminum slots, the color was green but different than the factory made it plus had the two tone painted over.
We rescued it and brought it back to its “Day-Two” condition with just a few modern updates and improvements as some of the original, unique parts are no longer to be found. The wheels are an interpretation of the missing originals and are so period correct, the colors are as close as possible to the original and the mechanicals all have been rebuilt to make a fun and a reliable driver, a Cheetah Shifter, Performance Cam, Ported Iron Heads, an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake w/ Holley 750 carb and an aluminum Champion radiator are the upgrades
I hope this was an interesting story about a car that I think until now, nobody has heard of….
