I was the second owner of a '65 Satellite 383 4 speed car and I sold it back to the original owner's grandson. I loved that car and put 8000 miles on it in 18 months. I hadn't planned on buying that car or selling it either, but since I did sell it I thought that I'd look for a '65 Coronet. I found one in Ft. Worth and looked at it a couple of times and then made a deal. It's 650 miles from St. Louis and a rough ride in a Second Gen truck but I did the deal.

It's home now and I thought that I'd post my YouTube video progress here on Moparts. You guys have been a big help to me over the years.

Thx

Here's the next video that shows me sorting through all of the stuff that I brought home with the car. I was missing some trim but managed to find some of it when I went back to John's house.

Thanks

Here's the latest, I'm actually getting along pretty well with it. Locating missing pieces and not finding any big surprises.

I'm no welder but I managed to patch in a couple of trunk pans that I got from Classic to Current.

Yeah thanks, I had planned on using those wheels for something but they've just become my spares for rollers.
Pulled the motor.

Well, I finally got her media blasted and some epoxy primer on her. The body is in amazing shape with just a few pinholes above the passenger quarter wheel well.
