Rosie is my 1970 plymouth satellite project. i recently finished the mechanical work and suspension upgrades. she's ugly still but i'm about to start working on that. I found her buried a foot deep in mud on the side of the road 3 years ago where she sat from june 1987 until july 2018. the owner had died and no one had touched the car. she cranked but didn't run so i had her winched out and towed her home. i was as shocked as anyone when she started on the first go after i changed the oil and put a battery in ( on a drip feed of gas..her tank was rotted). new radiator, complete brake replacement, new hoses and fluids and she ran pretty damn well. within a month she was driveable, within 2 i took her on a 90 minute drive to ocala (to the mopar assocation show) on a straight pipe with a glass pak stuffed in place of an exhaust. . since then i've made some pretty significant upgrades and tuned her nicely. about to start the body and interior work.
