Hello all,

Name is Calvin, I have a 67 Satellite with a 318 that I am looking to get road worthy once again. Actually the car is for my 6 year old son when he gets old enough to have it that is, his Pa gave it to him because he kept saying it was his real hot wheels car.
Overall the car is not in that bad shape, it runs and drives. The body is straight, the paint is so-so and original except for the stripes. Little rust on the car at all. At the moment my major areas of concern are weatherstripping for the doors and side glass, it needs a new radiator and the carb needs a rebuild.
I am looking to drop a 440 into it a couple years down the road and will build the 440 outside the car. Looking to restore it somewhat but not looking for a show/correct restoration. Just want to get it on the road and driving at the moment though.
With that being said, weatherstripping for the doors and side glass are top priority at the moment. The weatherstripping on the car is original and is in horrible shape. I have been looking on yearone online and catalog. Anyone have an recommendations on where i can get the weatherstripping cheaper and of similar quality?

Here are some pics of the car. Not the best pics mind you.
