She's All Done! (CAR ****) '68 Satellite 440/727 Restification

[The Satellite Cometh]

Well, it's been a few months and a few thousand dollars, but she's is all done and waiting for me to pick her up.

What do ya think?

Looking real good! Is that the original colors?

 

[wannadrag]

I'm Diggin It

Nice, now go get her and start burnin up $20s thru the tailpipes!

 

[Meep-Meep]

I wish I can say that (done).

Nice looking car!

 

[The Satellite Cometh]

Looking real good! Is that the original colors?

Yes. The car was very original. Only one repaint according to the seller. Decent job too. More of a "rat rod" car now.

New interior, dash cap, front disc conversion, suspension, shocks, etc.

Of course the 440 swap and 727 swap.

Need to address the 2.73 open rear eventually and see if the big old girl can do anything respectable.

And BTW - nothing is ever "done". I just ran outta money.

i like what i see and i love that color!

 

[MoparMitch]

Car looks awesome. I assume that color is JJ1 Gold. I hear that Hodges does very good work. Congrats

 

[The Satellite Cometh]

Actually that body was so solid, we didn't even paint it.

All the work was done to the interior and some chrome on the outside and of course the drivetrain.

Actually inside the shop were cars in various states of restore, and yes, Hodge does some mighty fine work. I bet there was close to $500k of cars in that shop.

1969.5 A12 cars, concours Challenger, motor swap cars, GTX heaven of about 5 different cars, it was not only a business transaction but a tour of the 60's and 70's too.

 

[The Satellite Cometh]

Yep JJ1 car.

 

[Propwash]

You got any pic's of the resto of before resto?

 

[The Satellite Cometh]

Just a few. LOL.

 

[watermelon]

That rocks.
