That's so true...and it used to be cheap !

Welcome nice looking Satellite ! I've seen two of those locally same colour and both in amazing shape!

99.9 down here a lot better than it has been.

1.06 here tonight

Bought some parts for many thosands $$$

Magnum 500 15X7, 15X8 and  2 Radial TA P27560R15




Air grabber hood... super clean, no rust.

Hope those rims have the right backspace or you will end up with a rub. They sure look nice though. You would probably be better off with 255-60R15 like I have. I heard of people running 275 but it all depends on the backspace of the rims.

4.5" backspace. P275 fit nice with room to spare. Some run P29560R15 on 71-74 B body but it's a tight fit.

Those wheels will look great on it. What color do you plan for the car ?

Paint is still very nice, so will stay like that. Was repainted 18 years ago, always kept in a garage so it's like new.

Sorry, my bad, I was thinking of the Duster, never looked at the project tittle I guess. B bodies have more room than A bodies.

I think the color is very nice, just hope matching the hood to the rest of the car isn't to difficult for you.

Magnum 500 installed





Going to body shop next week for air grabber Hood installation. Also going to cut floor to install 4 speeds humps.

And, got a 8 3/4" 3,55 Suregrip almost ready for installation.

Mopar "nos" shocks absorber, still in the original boxes



Dont see that too often, now.

Looks very good

Did some plastic welding. Very easy to do, judge yourself

Which one is better?






Installed

7 blade hands down!

Make sure the fan clutch is nice and tight though and doesn't spin freely.

Tell us more how it's done? What equipment etc...? Looks great!

Just used a welding iron. I made a piece from a scrap shroud to cover the hole. Melt the plastic between the two parts, let cool a bit and it's done. Just have to sand a bit, prime with built primer, sand and paint.

Hope i'm clear about my explication.
