    I brought home a SatellBird

    I have fought with myself to make this more restomod or stick to what the Factory offered. (I thought a black body with gold wire rims, no scoops, no decals for a cleaner look would be great.) In the end I always came back to Factory offerings. (Not all complete yet) But when it came to...

    Rallye wheel center caps are on 2 month back order, the whole back end is new except for the trunk lid, valence and right quarter extension. Because of shortages from covid and such, one sub frame member is from AMD an the other is from Sherman. Because of long shipping delays comprises were...

    I brought home a SatellBird

    Yes, I cut another corner and only used skins, Only low quality skins were available at the time because of shortages or whatnot. Fought to keep this affordable, white primer to make the 71 B5 blue pop more, one of the few diversions from factory correct. The Chrome Rallye wheels were another...

    I brought home a SatellBird

    I like the seats, they bolted into the outer bench seat holes perfectly (B-body), but the inners had to be drilled, I think that is why they have some bad reviews about hole fitment. Since my car came with a bench and I put in buckets, that is not the fault of Procar. They are comfortable...

    I brought home a SatellBird

    Sorry for a 2 year update, this fought us every step of the way, but my 53 year old dream, from when I was 13 years old, is finally true! I cut a few corners to keep this moving forward, seats are Procar (Original Upholstery shops are back ordered for 5 months!), I am fighting electrical issues...

    I brought home a SatellBird

    Yep, Satellite with a slant six, 2 owners back stored it for 30 years so mostly rust free. Last owner bought the kit, installed the wing and front fenders, bought the hood, 440/4bbl w/727 and the V8 K frame. I asked why after all that he wanted to sell, he said he wanted a Hellcat. (He needs a...

    I brought home a SatellBird

    Hello All! I am a retired bookkeeper with too much time on my hands (and presumably too much money!). I am in West Kentucky. I have liked/wanted a Superbird for 50 years so this is a long term dream. This is a 1970 Satellite, 6 cyl. installed. The car came with a 440 4bbl and 727, a...
