An Ebay Car a/c sunroof some other options , cool car , It looked like a driver .

Who wouldnt have bought this ..
Its a real Winchester- Gunmetal Grey car.

The market was high then .. So you know it was decent money , but I figured no rust , and it was pretty clean . But it was hit , and i figured it out after paint . no big deal ..

At the time I thought it was gonna be state of the art a magazine car , Im sure theres been three or four similar cars built with the same idea..

But mine will be cooler

So my plans were

do anything that would pee the purists off
make sur nothing was numbers matching
media blast
5K for paint
Passon overdrive - 4 Speed
XV mods
dana
and Alterkation .

All happened except for the 5K paint job , try double that .. It was worth it though .

And if not the painter has made up for it for three other projects that popped up in between.

Then the crazy happened ...

My body man moved locations ..

The car was in limbo for months .. The good thing

was that I bartered the whole deal with him.

We remodeled his house and shop , I did the heating , it worked Out OK ..

Except I had sold my GTX and I was bored to heck ..

So I got sidetracked , this driver came around

Meanwhile .. Painter lost a bunch of parts

and he was doing fast collision jobs to make a living because noone makes money on restos especially one that are bartered . Live and learn

good thing i keep spare parts.

Lot of catching up and drama to post to be continued Guess its easy to say I get sidetracked

so for all who asked about the sunroof car , there it is .. Hope to get more done next weekend ..

ok 150 lbs of sand in the trunk , some calverts in the front - and it has a little better weight transfer The great pumpkin may actually hook and rise .

Anyways nice laid back sunday ..

managed to get some more stuff done afterward ..

I think Im really going to concentrate on getting this thing rolling further . Anyone have a home remedy for A.D.D. ? Im starting to belive I have it .

What do you think SSP badge on the rear only ?

I can make this a RR a GTX or a ssp at this point

I will only need a standard grille if its a ssp

need an opinion here ?

But after everyone at home left me alone tonite for four hours Im ready to get the rotors on the spindles

It took five hours to figure out why the caliper wouldnt center over the rotor ..

Wilwood Installed the wrong inner bearing races ..

The good thing was I got the front bumper aligned with only one scratch on the top header panel .

The header panel wasnt sucked down far enough when it was assembled , i will check for that on my next nut and bolt resto ( never again )

no fast racing for the rest of the year between mecanical issues and medical issues i stayed away from musclepalooza , but i did some work to the super PLUS.

The interior paint works OK , if you like rattle can .. The second can had less pressure than the first, some paint splotches from poor tip atomization , cant complain too much .. Paint from Herbs ..

Two cans SHOULD do a whole interior ..

its asnap on lift , I use it in a low deck garage ,
Not good for tranny or engine swaps But great for assembly so youre not bending Over..

Bumper is On ! After being hostage at painters for 6 months .
looks naked without an eyebrow . but it is what it be ..
No eyebrow on this one , maybe itll come off the F.A.S.T car and paint gunmetal

still waiting for my 5 speed , so i figured id kill some time
I think it was harder to leave this car unrestored and finish it with all the patina , rather than do a full resto ..

This six pack really cooks though ...
little clumsy with the 4 speed , but I hop eto get the hang of it

Cool Car. Dig the Sunroof. Sebring Plus Emblem is nice.
I'm cloning a 72 Plus to RR. It's in the paint shop. We finished the CS welding. Firewall, dutchman panel, lower 1/4's.

May do the Air Grabber. It looks soooo good.

However, It appears we have the same problem.
Good Mopars keep coming our way.

Keep up the good work!

Just FYI a Satellite Sebring Plus would only have the Sebring Plus (actually Satellite Sebring Plus) emblem on each 1/4 panel and a plain Sebring ( actually Satellite Sebring) emblem on the trunk lid.

Luckily , i just used thum gum to mock it up to see what she looked like.
This car is unorthodox anyways , i may just have one
Sebring PLUS emblem on the entire car ..
No correctness here ..
Might get a 72 grille if i didnt have to remortgage
The house for one .....

Thanks !
Project moving along .
Everything is a challenge to find or is monetarily expensive lately ..


- custom fab rad $500-1200 champion or bouchillon
- clutch safety switch vs neutral safety switch
- column key lock spring missing from rebuild - no availability.

I guess not items that will stop from a start test . But nevertheless, time consuming ....

Due to Corona Virus slowing things down and some luck
Im finally repaying attention to the Winchester car

Since last posts Ive traded my beautiful Gtx for a cat.
Fuel injected my roadrunner
Restroked my stroker for my bee
Dealt with typical after 50 issues and a
Couple other speedbumps —

This car might actually be ready for 1972 reunion.

About three years ago I met a guy with vast custom car experience to put the headliner in
It was missing parts for the sunroof
Things were vague, but without a lot of reference pics , we gathered enough info to get rerolling.

Moving the car from one location to another while
under restoration is never recommended. Lol.

I thought I had all the stuff neatly wrapped up in the
trunk, guess again .

But after two nights of scouring through piles of
hoarding at home , i found everything .

Am lucky enough to have found the guy
who grew up with these cars And who is Real
Connected to cool car history.

His stories of building CanAM cars ,
Being involved with the TranS AM series
Hanging out with Gurney , Posey, Paul Newman
Brock Yates and others was a weekend thing
for him .. The stories are wild And real.

Im thankful that a great Mopar friend referred
me to him. Hopefully we can get glass in this thing
and go drifting soon ..

The headliner and sunroof have stumped me for years
but its all falling into place .

It sucks to find out after 10-12 years you have the
wROng sunroof motor ..

Thanks Jimmy Boros! For the reference pics
A bracket that is supposed to hold the switch in place
mysteriously was removed when the original
motor burnt up ..

No big deal for my guy Glenn.
He fabbed up a new one in no time and
is not intimidated by this job .
