Fitted the upgraded suspension also.

Took the old coilovers off and took some measurements so Viking can make me a new set of crusaders.

After a couple months went in the garage. Finishing up suregrip install on my Satellite. I removed the whole housing, easier for me. Adjusted rear brakes and did the most thankless job, I hate it! Putting on full size wheel covers. Get the valve stem through, then the fun starts, tap around the edges and think one more smack and its on! Tap and it pops loose, though you had, not. 4 tries drivers side 2 pass side. Cleaned my cardboard from the floor.
Just the way it goes,lol. Kinda cold weather ,huh?!!!
 
Spent a few bucks at Mega Parts to finish the engine
 
Got mine rolling over a month ago and shove it into the enclosed trailer.... :(
 
Using a little southern ingenuity to repair quarter.
The left rear wheel came off and rolled up the quarter.

Came off on the prior owner.
He had wrong lugs on the Cragar wheels.....shanks too long.
 
I've done that before from the inside with a roll around jack and wood bracing.

Did pretty well.
 
Picked up my bumpers and couple of die-cast pieces from B&L Plating. Vic did a fabulous job of altering a couple pieces of die-cast, and my "boltless" bumpers look like liquid. Stunning work, as always.....just more labor intensive this time, and more material.

I assume b+l is around Detroit somewhere? I was looking for someone to do mine, any pics? always nice to see shinny new stuff, Thanks!
 
Drained old gas out of 65 Dodge. Finally got around to painting lower radiator cross bar flat black on my Satellite after..........................35 years.
 
Under the hood almost done,last is the temp,volts,oil and tach gauges and wiring. Drive shaft loop,shaft didn't need shortened (Yeah !) Bolted the rear tires on for fit. Fuel tank,fuel lines and electric pump in.Messing with the shifter.Exhaust made and hung.

I hate calling a old Mopar a "Rat Rod" so let's call it a "Crusty Classic". Not doing a factory front bumper so we made a grille support and going for a gasser type front bumper made from a drive shaft.Maybe, maybe not.
