Sweet! Thank you. That's what I needed to know!

Quick question. So I'm planning on replacing the top on my '69 Sport Satellite. The frame needs a little TLC before I install the new top. I'm trying to find out what sheen the black paint should be. Can't tell if it was originally gloss black or semi gloss black. Thanks in advance!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Quick question for you all. I'm planning on replacing the old rusty floor pan in my Sport Satellite convertible with a brand new one. Since the car is a convertible, do I need to add any extra bracing to keep the body from flexing when the old floor is removed? Thanks!

Hey PurpleBeeper, you are correct. Turns out I was calling the exhaust manifolds "headers". The ones on the car are indeed the original factory manifolds complete with the heat riser valve! I need to replace both of those as they are severely rusted. I also need to replace the pipes running from...

This is all good news. My father didn't drive the car hard. Perhaps I should start by sending my carburetor off to be rebuilt and replacing the rusted leaking exhaust headers. Maybe doing that would be enough for the time being. At least then I could drive it to the body shop to have the floor...

Thanks 1967coronet!

That's some good advice! I know of a local guy I can contact who might be able to give me some leads on who to contact in the area.

Hey PurpleBeeper, yes this is indeed the original motor. My father was the original owner, I still have all the paper work from when he bought it. So, I think your advice of going ahead with the rebuild is a fine idea!
