The Long Road to my 74 Satellite Rebuild

[rebootej]

Ya isnt that cool Ron?? Is my console was in worst shape i would definitely have it dipped! Wheels would be sweet but ya probably a little much for this car.

Seats and door panels are getting done in charcoal probably going to paint/dye the rest of the trim pieces charcoal as well

 

[Ron 73]

Yep, The more i thought about it, the rims would be more then to much! But there is a lot of things a guy could think about but i think does depend on the car. Good luck with your interior work!

 

[rebootej]

Thanks Ron Ya totally i agree! The pattern paiting is pretty cool. and talking to the guy at the shop he says its much more durable than wrapping it. Got the front seats back already they look sweettt! The guy got them done quick!

Very sweet ride. I love yellow mopars! Can't wait to see it finished.

 

[rebootej]

Thanks Bitterbird! Its going to be insane to see it in paint all one color i cant wait hopefully have some more updates soon.

 

[747mopar]

Coming along really nice, can't wait to see it.


I followed your lead and purchased a digital media player for my ride and love it only mine isn't hidden.

 

[Ron 73]

I can wait for your updates but i know you waiting to see it all in color is keeping your mind going at rapid pace lol, i do hope you understand that is meant in a good way, patience waring, been a long haul, almost there thing..

 

[rebootej]

Hey thanks 747 where did you mount yours?

So true story Ron. Its excited just being at the stage of talking about paint and meeting the painter. Hopefully have an update for you guys soon. The rear seat should be done in a few days!

I made my own console and put a spot in it just under the dash, my head unit is basically just a shorter single din unit.

Sounds like the perfect place with the way these cars are made without changing much!

 

[rebootej]

Ohh thats right i remember your console 747 that thing was bad ***! Got a call saying the rear seat was done. But we showed up and some of the stitching was bad a bit pissed they tried to give it too me like that but they said they where going to fix it right. So hopefully have some pics of the rear seat soon.

 

[rebootej]

Hey guys! Picked up the rear seat, the shop fixed the seam said it must have been some bad thread, but frustrated they tried to tell me was ready at first. Here they are, don't mind the pink walls im stashing the seats in my sisters room while shes away at school.






Heres the plan i came up with for the door panels. Hopefully they will look bitchen. Based them off of the 72 door panels off of the year one catalog but replaced the wood grain with charcoal to tie it in to the black i want the rest of the interior to be.

 

[roadrunnerman]

plans look nice. the end results should look great as well in your car.

 

[Ron 73]

Yea boy, Very nice!!

 

[rebootej]

Hey guys! So i got the door panels back! I really like how they turned out! All the parts are starting to come together, its pretty exciting. My uncle has the body work finished on everything but the rear bumper. Should start jamming this week if the weather cooperates!

 

[Ron 73]

Everything is looking super! I think your "jamming" now

 

[747mopar]

I like the change (always hated fake wood) to the panels, looking good!

 

[rebootej]

Hahah thanks Ron! Hopefully not much longer now till shes eye sore yellow. Just kidding Im really happy with the color but i dont think my 18 year old self could have picked a brighter shade.

Thanks 747! Hopefully it will help try the seats into the interior.

go man go, as opposed to go mango(the color).
