Hey gang, I've been absent for a long while but it's time to tackle my Satellite interior and I could use some advice. It's a 2dr/ht and I've already picked up seat covers, molded foam, headliner, carpet and console carpet kit form Legendary. I'm getting door panels from SMS and I thought that I...

I got my 727 back from Pat Blais but wasn't 100% sure on the the shift cable adjustment. Currently I'm getting forward gears in N and R. It's a console shift '65 Satellite. I know that the wheel on the housing adjusts the shift points but wasn't sure on the correct procedure.

Looking to start on the interior of my '65 Satellite and wondered what supplier everyone is using for quality and price point. I'm starting with seat covers and foam if it's available then headliner and carpet. Any thoughts?

OK I've been off the grid from this forum for a long time since I wasn't really contributing much and hey, life is busy. But now I have a couple of good reasons to show my face. I've been negotiating the deal for this '65 Satellite for over four years with my buddy and we finally managed to drag...

If you had to choose between a '65 Sport Satellite hardtop that was a bit rough around the edges but still a driver with a bigblock or a '65 Belvedere 2dr post that was dinged up pretty bad with zero floors and no drivetrain. The Belvedere is about half the price of the Satellite but is a way...

We're pretty honored to get a feature article in the November issue of Mopar Muscle mag. This spread was shot on location in the Las Vegas desert by the very talented photographer John Machaquiero. He is a master at his trade and gave me a new respect for the profession as he "light painted" the...

We've been poking and prodding our combo for a few years now trying to squeeze every ounce of power from our 413 based wedge to try to get our flying brick into the tens. It proved to be harder than we originally thought and our engine builder (Dan Dvorack) hates our nose high stance and various...

We got quite a bit of attention this year racing our machine at Mopars at the Strip in Vegas, including a couple of photo shoots and a few interviews. This article in the current Mopar Collectors Guide is pretty good and mostly accurate but what we're really stoked about is an up and coming...

So the converter that we bought when we had our transmission built is an 8" 5000 stall and is way too much converter for our 413. Although our motor is built very well by Dvorack, it's no 9 second missile. It is 13:1 with a fairly mild roller cam and very massaged iron heads with a port matched...

Anyone heading to Vegas this year for Mopars at the Strip? My crew chief and his family are heading that way for a wedding at the end of March so we decided to throw the altered on the trailer and take it for an early season thrash. It's only a scant 1267 miles. We have a new converter in the...

The administrators of FBBO have agreed to allow us to do a one time only offer for these (hot off the presses) El Chupacabra shirts. We decided that it was time to take matters into our own hands and create our own fame. The shirts are printed on good quality 100% cotton Gildan tees with a five...

We made the eight hour trek this past weekend to challenge our buddies from Wagons of Steel (South) to a match race with their '64 C-stock Savoy Wagon. It was the Wild West (?) Nostalgia weekend so there were plenty of cool Mopars to oggle but we had our sights set on racing our American...

I have to admit that I had no idea what Nendra was so I had to look it up. Damn, that seems like a fun class and our car would be right at home. Is there anything even close to this out west? I check out these guys site sometimes http://www.americannostalgiawest.com/events.html but most of their...

So our good buddies from Wagons of Steel (South) will be racing their CS/A wagon in Spokane next month for a division 6 race and I thought we would go down and support them but it really pains me to drive over three hours to a race track and not race. So my question is, can a lowly bracket racer...

I know to most Americans a rag like Canadian Hot Rods is probably pretty off the radar but for us Canucks it's a pretty descent and eclectic car mag. This article, in the April/May issue just hit the news stands this morning and we're pretty stoked on the outcome. Seven pages describing our...

Hey folks, we've been having some problems with our oiling system holding a prime if the car sits for more than 12 hours. We've gotten into the habit of doing a manual prime with the drill through the distributor hole if the car sits for any length of time but realistically...this is stupid. We...

It's funny that a fun road trip for my buddies and I involves driving ten hours to an auto wrecker. The truth is that my friend bought a '63 Dodge wagon in Portland and I volunteered to be his wing man. It is not coincidental that I join this rag tag band of gear heads and the fact that Portland...

Alright, I'm hoping these video links work. I'm not the best youtube user on the planet. The old blog link below has more dirty details if you're the readin' type. 11.13 @ 119mph http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY0005wIpGw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xE5Q4x1H4c

Finally broke down and got some American Racing Torque Thrust "Ds". Gives the car a pretty period look.

We had some friends pass us on a set of 29x10.5W Hoosiers that were a bit ill fitting in their car but still brand new and work for us. We mounted them up and they were weeping a bit of air from the sidewalls. We have actually always run tubes in our slicks but folks I've talked to over the past...
