Got a new toy/project
Got this little sweetheart of a car yesterday. It'* a 1974 Plymouth Satellite Sebring. Very little rust throughout, 360 4 bbl with a 3 spd auto. Not a bad starter project and it runs and somewhat drives.

Hey, pretty neat. What are your plans for it?

Well, for now I just want to get it street legal again. After get my other projects where I will be happy with them, I'm thinking 408 Stroker, T56, and a narrowed ford 9" with 3.73 gears. Gonna paint it semi-gloss black with the red stripes and a roadrunner bulge hood. Tubular upper and lower control arms on the front with polygraphite bushings through out. I'm toying with throwing some turbos on for a little insanity, but the 408 will be pushing the 91 octane as it is and I want to be able to drive it on the street without problems.

The surprising thing about this car is there is almost no rust on it anywhere. Even where the vinyl top was there is no rust.

Josh I really believe you can turn that into a real sweet street performer with your plans!
Up on the lift how does it look? Frame and body mounts all look secure with no rust as well?
