Well, here goes, I'll be going back to June 2005 and posting what has been done so far, I've made a lot of mistakes and did a few things right too.
It's said that we learn from our mistakes, if that's the case, I should be the smartest person on earth.
1970 Plymouth Satellite, all numbers matching drive train, freshly built 383 4 bbl was already in the car when I traded for it. This came from California and has a very solid body. The trunk pan was shot as was the lower rear window channel, probably why the trunk pan was so rusted.
Shortly after getting her home July 05, I removed the fenders and began getting things ready to strip her down to the bare body. Hmm, sounds pretty sexy huh?
Engine bay ready for paint.
Engine bay painted and suspension and steering back in.
Frame rails installed, underneath all primered and undercoated.
Got the engine installed, want to get it so I can fire her up once in a while so she stays nice and fresh!
500 CID Stroker, Brodix B1BS heads, MP 6Pak intake and carbs, MP siamese bore cross bolted main block, Eagle 415 crank, JE forged pistons, Brodix roller rockers, 10.17:1 comp, dyno'd 560 hp 590 fpt on pump gas.
Got it moveable, not driveable, can go out in the street and smokem a bit but not much more than that for now.
After removing a couple of gallons of bondo from a previous entanglement, I decided to replace the panel.
Installed the super stock springs, exhaust and completed the trunk pan.
Stay tuned, more to follow.
