7+ years built in the backyard , finally on the road, licensed tagged and insured. No interior but that is coming soon. Stripped to the frame and rebuilt everything. I got a lot of help from people on this board and want to thank everyone. This is a pic of the first ride, at the gas station.

The deeper I got into it the worse it was. This was taken 2 days after bringing it home.

Still far from complete, I move to Interior now, but I am extremely happy with the results, It's got a completely rebuilt 318 with lots of mods, original block, Original transmission built right, all new suspension, body mounts, and all the rubber on the car is new, Bumpers chromed and everything else stripped down and restored. I was going to do a RR clone, but I think I am staying Satellite all the way, flat hood and have the original type dual Pinstripe in black down the side, I am going to have an Artist Friend of mine paint the emblems on the car, he does fantastic airbrush work. Again, Thanks to all on here who gave me advice and encouragement , I am a novice at best and ran into many issues where I was way over my head, only to be bailed out by people on this board.
 
Way to go! Another one back from the dead, gotta love it.
 
Congrats!!!

LMK if you need any interior hardware or small parts. I parted out two '73 Satellites in the past three years. I also have some trim for Satellite as well.
