My Ride

[71Satcloned2runner]

Well......once i figure out how to post pics, I will show it.

Here goes nothing. Remmeber, this is a 71 Satellite that I want to clone a road runner out of. Currently the 400 CI engine is pretty good other than it is leaking.

Please feel free to comment on what color I should paint her, anything that will look cool with a white top and interior.

Cheers,

V.

When I figure how to resize my pics, I will send more LOL.....sorry, but you can at least tell, the interior is done. If you care to see more sooner, PM me and I can email them to you.

I think the car is cool, and would like to paint it hemi orange in the future....would look good with the roadrunner decals. Your thoughts? Keep in mind white interior and white top.

Also, think that the car would look like a cream-sicle, haha.

Hemi orange with a white interior would be very sharp. Hemi orange with that white top you have would be very unique and something I've never seen before. I think you should go for it.

And if you want your pics resized, you can e-mail them to me (moparman73@gmail.com) and I'll send them back at the right size for you to post.

if ya want a VERY simply and VERY small program thats FREE and not a trial POS go get slowview.exe

Looks nice and clean!

You can load up to 20 pics into your garage nd there's a spot to tell us all about the car.

Here's my garage. http://www.moparnuts.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=hall&u=331

Once you're in the garage area, you can click "Manage My vPicGallery" and set up your own.
The garage allows for some bigger pictures. So, it might make life easier for you.

But for other pictures, use something like what 69.5 suggested. I use the program from www.irfanview.com myself. It's free as well.

Of course continue posting to this thread as well. The garage is more to show off your "primo" pics. Here is where you can post those and all the others you want to show.

Great looking interior!!

Ooooooo, I love white interiors! Buddy of mine has a 71 Charger that's Hemi orange with the white gut, it looks awesome.

Ok gang.......Thanks to Moparman, I can post more pics. Tell me what you think of my hemi orange idea going on this car when I get the car up to safety snuff (fricking government, like I need a wiper kit and reverse lights etc).

Also tire/rim sizes and styles are more than welcomed here along with anything you'd do under the hood for more power etc.

I plan on taking an SOS pad to the chrome too, and also doing the exhaust tips so they point straight out, not down (possibly a little wider too).

Also, I want to get a new hood. I want a Rodrunner hood, but we will se what I can get. My non-functional hood scoop is from a 70 Challenger I think. It is nice, but not on this car. I may put it (the scoop) up for sale when I find a new hood.

Anybody know the difference between the grille on the Roadrunner and my Satellite? Is it just a matter of changing the emblem on it, or is the grille completely different? Fricking grilles are tough to find for these cars.......if you know of one, speak up!!!

anyways, enjoy, and would love to hear your suggestions!!!

[smilie=2: Need more power out of that 4BBL 400 also. That comes later though. She sure sounds nice though.

I like the turned-down exhaust tips myself.

I just noticed now but your taillights aren't right for a '71. Those are '72 taillights. Comparison:

'72

'71

That entire rear bumper is from a 72.

What's wrong with purple? I kinda like it that color........

The center grill may be different for mounting of the Road Runner head/emblem as it only has one mounting hole dead center. I can't recall if the the Satellite emblem had one mounting stud or two? :hmmm:

I have 15X7 wheels with 275/60/15 on the rear and 205/70/15 on the front but if you want a wider tire up front the 235/60/15 is perfect.


So you want Orange eh? Here is a pic of mine.

 

[mopar_man]

That entire rear bumper is from a 72.

Should've said that...

I'm not sure why it would've been changed. Personally, I like the '71 better. I think the '71/'72 Roadrunner grilles differ as well if you're wanting to match the front with the rear.

 

[71Satcloned2runner]

Tiger Woods should be driving that bad boy! Looks awesome.....I hope I can make mine look just as good.

I guess I should think about other colours now too (don't want to steel your thunder).

the 71 roadrunner has chrome on the taillight lenses :naughty: ???

Look again, that's actually the bumper as the stripe does not does not cover it near the lens.

Your not stealing anyone's thunder 71satcloned2runner...Cripes that's a long title, kin I just call you 71sat? Yes?

.......by all means paint it any color you want, it's your car and there can never be to many Orange B-bodys. :banana:

 

[71Satcloned2runner]

Well the paint job is a long way away anyways, so plenty of time to stew. 71Sat will be just fine mang!

Goddamn, I spent the last day and a half scouring the web for that B body rear bumber. Could be tough to find. Any ideas from the crew would be great as I like the 71 bumper better too! Tough part to find!

The search goes on...........................

Cheers!

Hey Beeper,

Could you send me a whackload of pics of your car to me? I wanna see it all.....espcecially interior, and trunk, rear-end, and fron grill.

PS: Where to you tie your hood pins through under the grille? Mine suck, and I found a set of new ones at yearone. The are expensive, but will look better--the bezels on mine are starting to rust a bit. Know if the new bezel will fit in old hole?

Cheers Bro,

V.

71 sat Wow that is nice IMHO I would leave it the colors you have and clone a GTX but then the GTX is the only mopar I what that I have not had. Wow that white is just a knock out....

I think I might know where a 71 rear may be will try to get to Az soon to dig around in the sand.

 

[beeper*71]

Tough part to find!

Boy howdy, I think I've only seen one on Ebay in the past year.

 

[beeper*71]

Hey Beeper,

Could you send me a whackload...

Carefull what you ask for around here. :shifty:

I'll work on getting you some pics of my junk...ummm...car, promise.
