I had a thread a while back about a 1971 GTX that I was unable to buy. Well, I ended up buying the 1965 Satellite that was sitting next to it and I brought it home this weekend. The plan is to do the mechanicals and not go nuts on a restoration. I'm the second owner and the original owner was a woman. She put 130K miles on this car and then she bought a Roadrunner. She eventually sold the Roadrunner and when she was 70 years old, she wanted another Roadrunner so they bought one for her. In my book she was one bad-ass granny and her name was Louise. I watch Youtube nearly every night and I thought that it would be fun to set up a channel to show the progress. I don't plan on this as an income by any means, it's just an easier way for me to post on Moparts what I'm doing. I know that's not how people generally show progress on here and if it doesn't fly with the administrators, then I understand and I won't post Thanks. Louise's Toxic Satellite

A big block, 4-spd, '65 Satellite? If you ever want to get rid of that, let me know. One of the nicest Mopars ever built.

I decided to take a look under the seat covers that were over the back seat and was pleasantly surprised.

No build sheet here.
It’s a St. Louis car

I have a video of the first day that we brought it home in the first post.

My oldest came to help pull the motor, his idea, and didn't run into any major surprises. We had a good day and the rain held off while we need it to. The major thrashing is over for a while until the motor comes back from the machine shop. In the mean time I'll take press on with everything else. Louise's Toxic Satellite 2

Thanks, I hit the rusty spots with SEM Rust Mort and then painted it with Rustoleum rusty metal primer.

Part 4 is up and running. The worst is probably done but the axle and springs are next. The springs in the car are like my back, stiff as hell. Louise's Toxic Satellite 4The carnage...

I've been doing some thrashing and have gotten along pretty well. Not too much rusted on stuff but you always find something I'm finding most of the pieces that I need, but these "older" cars don't quite have the market for OE parts that say a 1970 car would have. Still having fun but the heat can be a drag. Louise's Toxic Satellite 5Interestingly, after I wire wheeled the 3rd member case, I saw where they had stamped the gear ratio on the bottom vs having a tag bolted under one of the nuts.

Well I’ve been busy all summer. The block was very clean and has probably been out for a re-ring and gaskets. Lots of nit-noid stuff being done and some big stuff too. The interior will be going back in soon after I run an ozone generator in there for a while. I’ve put up some more clips on my House of Mopar YouTube channel. The latest... Louise's Toxic Satellite 8

I tried to duplicate the trunk spatter paint and then hit the gutters with a CC1 spray bomb from NAPA.
