    Here is some more progress! The six pack lid seen in these photos is actually incorrect and the right one is being painted up now.
    Carbs are on, the car is back on it's wheels, the new dash pad is in- my last one from Legendary was the plastic body version and I guess the sun warps them, so now I have a metal body dash- also the "NEW" carpet Legendary sold me was all cut up like someone trimmed it for a car and returned it when I took it out of the box, so thats one more useless Legendary thing I will not use (dont even get me started on Palco door panels) - ANYWAY, the door glass is in, fuel lines, brake lines, etc. The TA mufflers were brushed the flat black, and most of the interior components are painted blue and ready to be installed.

    THANK YOU GUYS!
    Here is some updated shots- all of my latches and hardware came back from Canada with the correct plating on them. Fuel tank is in, the correct booster and master, and set of horns are in place. I had to push it back outside for some pictures, the B5 paint is intense! I can not wait to see it striped and the organosol back on it. The torsion bars were hand pained to get the correct drips too.. (yes I am a nerd when it comes to that stuff)... the exhaust will be on next week after the Nats, and hopefully more interior components will be as well.

    BEAUTIFUL!   Now the question is:  with this level of finish, is this going to be just a Show Car, or do you plan on driving it at least on Nice Days?

    The more I look at it, it will be a trailer queen... at least for a couple of years..
    I ended up buying a B body to drive around this summer cause I couldn't take not driving around in a MOPAR anymore.. my other 71 is in storage awaiting a possible restoration, so I picked up this 68 Sport Satellite.
    This car is rarer then my Cuda- rock solid-factory H colde 383, 4 speed, black car with white and maroon interior!
    build sheet, tons of documentation, the works.. but the repaint is a 7 out of 10 and I can lean on it and drive the %$#& out of it..
    love it.
    I am shooting progress on the Cuda in a few hours....
