The aftermarket side hood bumpers do not match factory equipment.

Found some NOS door stops:

Update: Follow up to post #60 (door hinges). I forgot to mention we fabricated new dog leg stops for the door hinges (at the top in photos). These are thicker, stronger than the factory pieces which are prone to breaking. If you notice in the last photo, the "roller" is painted yellow with a...

I wonder if there has ever been a stage 4 rocket? Always seem to end after stage 3. https://mars.nasa.gov/mer/mission/launch-vehicle/stage3/

Just to show the '72 honeycomb grille is painted body color (Bahama Yellow).

Beautiful beast. I don't remember seeing that side mirror on a Road Runner before (my parents purchased a new '71 Road Runner when I was 16 years-old).

Francisco Javier, a local mechanic, a man after my own heart, is the proud owner of: 1967 Belvedere 1969 Charger (truck Dana 60) 1969 Road Runner 1972 Cuda 1971 Satellite Sebring Plus (not pictured-body shop jailbird)

I see the 1971 Superbird is for sale: https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/plymouth/superbird/2362347.html

Power steering done, now one of these days going to install the new front disc rotors, pads, and bearings. In the meantime, I am shopping around trying to decide which Mazda Miata MX-5 low profile dual headlamps I want to adapt to my forthcoming Superbird style nosecone. There appear to be two...

I decided to forego the locally made pressure hose and went NOS with a filter on the new return line.

Restoration Update: Power Steering Pump Just painted it while I had it off to replace a pressure hose that had no less than 3 pinhole leaks, one of which was splashing onto the exhaust manifold. The hose I had made locally, using the old connections on each end (haven't tested it all back...

I have the headlight relay changeover in my vehicle (and the wiring switch from ammeter to voltmeter). And my dome light is very bright at least.

Your headlights are bright, is that with the engine running or not? I had to add extra ground wires to both front turn signals, even though the screws contacted bare metal (the lamps were shedding some very weak light until the change). I should add some extra ground wires to the tail lights...

Livin' in a dry climate helps and have been lucky on road trips.

Restoration Update: w/s washer squirters One squirter had a small hole in one of the reinforcing ribs from either rust-through or abrasion and a second hole about to break through. I decided to fill in all three reinforcing ribs of both squirters with a little JB weld to compensate for that. The...

Before sending them to the upholsterer, thought I would add flexible door edge guard (plastic) around the perimeter.

Restoration Update: Sun Visors Arguably not the most safety conscious idea, but we fabricated some 18 gauge stainless steel replacements for the failing factory fiberboard/stapled visors. They are perforated to reduce weight, I don't want them flopping down when not needed (attached with rivets).

For my small block, I used molasses and water at a 10:1 ratio in a 55 gallon drum for a couple of weeks. Works so-so, still had to wire brush some with a drill. I will final hone the cylinder bores and lifter bores right before assembly which is sometime off in the future. I tried dumping two...

I am restoring a '72 SSP as well. I notice that on the Hagerty website, The Satellite Sebring Plus model is not listed when one looks up market values (only has Road Runner and Satellite Sebring-not SSP).

I'm not sure the fix for the mirror was "permanent". I hesitant to re-adjust the mirror by hand very often for fear of it getting loose again. Some other suggestions are to coat the surface of the ball with something rough or sticky.
