So the AlterKtion is an order and they'll build it process - good to know - I'll need to make sure I plan the delay time for them to build it into my restoration.
Didn't really give that much thought and figured they'd have them in stock ready to ship . . . this makes more sense !

Thanks for the information USARR ! ! !

You stated you were talking price - any luck on getting the cost reduced ? ? That would be a bonus ! ! !

I think that paint job will look great, a buddy of mine did his Viper in the same combo "really sharp". I'll be impatiently waiting:happy1:
 
Cool USARR . . .

heard nothing but GREAT things about the TTI ceramic coated headers, and they apparently match up and work very sweet with the AlterKtion unit ! !

I'll be anxious to see how it all fits ( if I don't order my stuff before you install yours ) . . . Keep us posted ! Thanks ! !

I think you need to call him back and tell him that you were interested in the GREEN paint, not the GOLD paint ! ! !

I'm pretty sure he had to not hear you right . . .

Bummer USARR . . . hate to hear that for you ! ! !

HOLY BUCKETS BATMAN !!!!!!!!! It's a good looking paint color, but $2500/gal sure throws the budget out of whack.
 
"WOW" I nearly chit my pants when they told me mine was going to be $100.00 a qt "guess I shoulda did cart wheels instead". Check out House of Colors, they are more of a custom paint supplier with some really awesome colors. I don't blame you for not going with it for that price.
 
Nice project!
I got my 1st of 3- 70 RRs that I've had in June of 70 at the age of 14, it was that same burnt orange color your Satellite was.
Here is a very nice Sport Satellite.

Are you saying you got your 1st 70 RR in June of 1970 when you were 14?

Where is it now and were you a child star or something?
 
Actually, my dad was looking for a car and I found a slightly used 70 RR for $1600 for him. He was a bit of a hot-rodder when he was younger so he liked it and he bought it for his daily driver. I got to drive it occasionally, with him in it, until a year and a half later when I turned 16, then he gave it to me. It had Goodyear slicks on it when we got it. After a lot of hard use I sold it a few years later when I found another one in better shape, sadly I'm pretty sure it got crushed. Let's not hi-jack dude's thread, the story is even more interesting. If you want to hear more come over to my thread.

Not sure if you want to do it or not but I drilled 3- 3/4" holes to weld up in the 4 sides of the connectors where the slip over the rear rails and make the connection way stronger.
