Hi all
A quick hello from another FNG, this time from merry ol' England! (that's somewhere east of Florida for those not too hot on non-US geography ;))
I'll post some pics over the next few days/weeks/months, or however long it takes to master the art of adding pics :blush:, but for now I'll just add that my brother (Stuart) & I (Robert) have a couple of B-bods that I thought it was about time I joined up to bore you with...
69 Sport Satellite, that we've had since '85. Currently undergoing a bit of a freshen-up. Was originally a 318/904 car, but we fitted a 440/727 back in '87. Engine's having it's 1st rebuild since then. Body was sorted back in 91, and is having a few areas spruced up, mainly trunk, engine bay & interior. Exterior paint is still good after nearly 20 years. Good enough for us anyway!
Our newer acquisition is a 63 Dodge Polara 500 that we bought from North Carolina in 2004. Originally a 361 car, it had an early 426 Super Stock (yes, from a Plymouth) max wedge engine fitted, probably back in the 80's when it was still in California.
When we bought it, we thought the bodywork would be the first job we needed to do, but I reckon we've done just about everything else on it since we took delivery
I dont suppose anyone here would know anything abut the Satellite as I believe it was an export car (came to the UK in '77 from Belgium), but it would be cool to find someone who knows about the Polara... it's in a couple of 'Cars of the 60's' type books, and appeared briefly (in one of those books) on American HotRod...
I'll just add these for now as it's gettin late over here... :night:
