Hi everyone. I will try not to make this too long but this may be really helpful to me. I have joined this forum in the hopes that I can get some helpful suggestions and best case maybe even help some others as well. Here is "our" story. Myself and a couple other employees of North Coast Brewing Company wanted to start a project of making a Lemons car. I took the idea to the brewery owner and he loved the idea and said he would even "help us out". Then as luck would have it we were given a car that was abandoned on someones property who was moving away and just wanted it gone...our "new" 69 satellite wagon. The car actually starts and drives and has super low miles but has long ago rusted away beyond any reasonable restoration. There has been standing water inside for the car for unknown years and the whole thing is rusted pretty bad. But we have a strong will and desire to get the thing in a lemons race. It has the 318 with 3 on the tree. Certainly not fast but we aren't harboring any dreams of beating miatas and M30s around a track. We just want to make the car solid so it runs both days and hopefully multiple races. Our other idea for any of you that know Old Rasputin beer or the story of Gregori Rasputin is that the motto is "never say die". So we want to keep the current 318 as we think would be perfect for endurance racing. I have a 4 bbl manifold but want to get a adaptor to keep it the current 2 bbl. I could go on and on but basically just want to get this story out there to guys that know these cars. We want to make some changes to the car that could free up some parts to help out guys trying to restore with factory parts. Any and all suggestions and help are appreciatted. Thank you all and go Mopar!!!
aboard!
