70 Sport Satellite build

I agree...the flat back with the bright trim looks good. Are you going to run black steelies with dog dish caps as well?

Damn right! The tires go on Wednesday. It's a minor detail, but I threw on a cheap ass set of seat covers today, and I'm shocked at how well they match both the colors and contours of the original interior.

Hell yea!!! Going for my CHL as soon as I get all my ducks in a row!!! Not that I really need it in Texas, because if you can buy a gun legally, you can carry it loaded within hands reach in your vehicle! Unlike socialist NJ, where it CAN"T be transported loaded, and it HAS to be locked in a case! No wonder there is so much crime up here, only criminals carry weapons...

Word to the wise: I would not recommend installing a fully loaded (brackets, lights, guards) B body front bumper alone to anyone of poor cardiovascular health.:doh:
 
LOL those are heavy...i had one laying around for a while from a 69 runner...but try doing a 71 caddy bumper..front or rear
 
Everything happens for a reason. I hesitated to pull the trigger on buying 4 new tires for the car. Why? I just had a feeling I may need the money, then last Tuesday I couldn't get my 06 Ram into gear. The shop informed me that the clutch had failed, following the duo mass flywheel failing. I don't quite know what caused it, because I mostly use the clutch to put it into gear & get moving, then shift without it, plus the truck only has 50K on it. Unfortunately, this means another large bill, and the Sport Satellite sitting for another freakin' year.:( Such is life..
 
Ahh that sucks man.

Another fellow I know was just about to get the interior done in his car and his central A/C went down, so at 102* during the day and 95* at night he has to spend his interior money....:(

A/C budget got cut into as well. Eh, another season with fans. The car did do a couple of wicked burnouts yesterday, though.:shifty: The neighbors have family show up with nice cars for Hot August Nights every year, and they wanted to see the car run.:D
 
That looks totally badazz painted up. Save the caps for grandpa's car and go without them, makes your car look mad as if it's looking for a fight. Sweet.
 
I couldn't help it. I had to get the car on the road, plus the tires were a deal not to be passed up. The fronts are a set of take off 225's, and the backs are new BFG 275's, and it looks plain menacing. I love me car.:) BTW, A12 is right. Fook the poverty caps! Without 'em, it looks like doom on wheels. Even if it is dirty.:doh:

You have no self control.......

It's about time!! :D

That looks fantastic.

Dirty? What? Are you parking it in your living room or driving it? :dance:

I liked the dog dishes better, but that's just me. I also think you should go to a wider front rim... just opinions, mind you.
 
AS much as I like the look of the plain black steel rims with chrome lug nuts, I have to agree with Doc, and say that the dog dish caps would look better. IMO....;)
 
Well, I've nothing to lose by putting the caps on & checking it out. The fronts are 15X6 H wheels. A different tire choice up there could make a world of difference.
 
I think the tire choice is great, but they look pinched on the skinny wheels. Personally, I'd run a 15x7 '80s M-car wheel.

Again, personal preference. A friend ran something like a 195/80 on C-body 15x4 (I think) spare-tire rims, and it looked fantastic... with dog dishes. :D
 
The front tire is just a tad too tall, and would look better wider. Just a little less sidewall and a bit more contact patch would help. For now, this is what's in my budget, so I'll live with it. Good first glance observation, though. I thought the same when I looked at it, followed by, "eh, what the hell".:D
