Picked up some Racing seats for a fraction of the cost of new. They need re-upholstered, but I was going to have the brand new ones redone to match anyways. Gutted the inside of the car and started some rust repair/maintenance. As far as I can tell, right now, this will probably be the last...

Shipping for the rear bumper core to 69130?

Anybody know where I can find a set of sail panels like this? I like the hard plastic better than the cardboard cloth wrapped ones. This is the first time I've seen any like this though. Also, I've completely gutted the interior and am starting on fixing some rust issues in the floor and trunk...

I'm going with 17's on my car that look very much like that. Of course I'm going Pro-touring. Awesome progress so far. I'm loving the tucked bumpers and the front chin spoiler.

Any help would be awesome. It doesn't necessarily have to be the OKC store. I'd like to know if the company as a whole is truly as good as I have heard. Even customer experiences would be awesome.

I'm looking at a potential job in OKC for when I'm done with school in December. I live in south central Nebraska so finding out if it's worth looking at this potential job is kinda limited. Do any of you know anything about Bruckner's? A buddy of mine told me about the job positions they have...

Well, unless a miracle happens, it looks like I'm going to be dropping in a little 318 to move it around the shop and from storage facility to storage facility. Things are going to be a little tight money wise for the next few years unless I get a really good starter job so I'm putting this...

Sweet, will do. I'm just trying to get my ducks in a row before I start deciding what I want to put together for a motor. I know for sure it's going to be a forged 365.

Anybody got a desktop dyno that can calculate final horsepower and torque?

I know all about the car fighting tooth and nail lol. Mine's being a real pain. Glad you finally got one that's willing to work with you.

Well, I finished my Associates in Automotive Technology this last Dec. This Dec. I'll be done with my Associates in Diesel Technology. It's been fun, but I'm a little uneasy about actually making a living off of it even though my teachers say I'm good. Glad they think so lol. - - - Updated - -...

Dang that's a beautiful car. It still amazes me how much of it is still in great condition. Add the motor to the list.

Well it's parked for awhile. Got the gas tank installed and went to get the air pushed out of the fuel lines. Low and behold the motor started knocking. Well, a lot of stupidity later I've determined that I more than likely have several problems involving collapsed lifter, threads pulled out of...

Not gonna lie, if I ever get this car and my other project cars/trucks to where I want them I'm gonna go get another 1971 Satellite. It's kind of an addiction. A really expensive one.

Sure, I'm open to new ideas on this build for sure. I'm leaning strongly to the 5 spd or 6 spd swap more and more, just because I like driving manuals. A built auto would make it quicker on the 1/4 though, and I want to be able to do a few passes with it along with drive it on the street.
