Basic plan is this, to build a car that is a BETTER quality restoration than the previous car as well to make a car that neither my wife or I are afraid to jump in and take a LONG road trip to a show or wherever. So if we keep the 383 in the car it's going to get EFI. I'd like to put the A/C back on it and get it working too.
OR, if it works out, I'd really like to do a late model Hemi swap. A 6.4 would be ideal! Keep the A/C there too of course. Add a nice stereo and we'll be set.
Bobbie and I were sitting on the couch the other day looking at the 1971 Satellite line brochure and talking about interiors. She likes the black and white cloth, and I liked the sound of that as far as comfort on a HOT southern summer day. So interior choice is settled... go from a car with the black and orange interior to a car with the black and white. I can dig it!
We're still debating exterior colors. First choice out of Bobbie's mouth was black. These cars do look great in black, but I worry about the bodywork needed to make a black car look great. Of course it would get the black reflective strobe, rear wing and chin spoilers. But a huge part of me is saying to keep it white. There would be so much symmetry in that--I mean, I've ALWAYS had a white Road Runner in my garage. If it goes white it'll get the reflective black strobe as well. And I'll debate adding the wing and spoilers then cuz I don't want to look EXACTLY like Dale Matthews' car!
