      Welcome to the site,
      Who owns the Plymouth? I think I have found a 67 Satellite after looking for one for some time. Always interested in other builders plans.
      Mopars are not very popular (read not much avalible for them) as protouring cars yet, but hopefully that will change soon. I just love the boxy style of the mid 60s mopars.
      Let us know what changes you plan to make, maybe you and I can exchange ideas.

      The GTX is my Dad's car, pretty much stock except for adding a 6 pack and RO hood scoop.

      As for my plans, I would like to upgrade the handling by getting a cop car steering box, viper brake conversion, tubular A arms, 17" mustang bullet wheels, and some good shocks

      Not too sure about the interior...it may stay pretty much stock because I don't really have any good ideas and haven't seen anything that looks like it would be what I want.

      Engine:
      Right now it has a 500hp 440 that gets about 5mpg, it is fun and all but I want EFI and more of a cruiser car I can drive to work on nice days. I would really like to do a hemi conversion, I see a couple other guys on here have done it. Doesnt sound like a good engine management solution though...I absolutely want to have working A/C too. My car was factory A/C back in the day but that stuff is pretty much long gone.

      I am going to be lurking around here looking for other or better ideas as well. Any other members in Denver?

      Here is a couple more pics, blue is my r/t when I bought it, other is the GTX with the rust cut out.

      Nice, sounds similar to what I want to do. I would love an old style hemi, but probably go with a 6.1 new style so I can take advantage of the efi. I want to go with a manual shift though so that might get interesting to make work.
      I do have a surprise or two on suspension though, more on that later.

      Very interested in what ideas you have for suspension, I haven't been finding much luck with aftermarket companies. What about your interior? Do you have any good ideas for modernizing that?

      Yeah!! More Mopars!
      Not many around is why I like them!You don't hear "I had one just like that" too much.I wish less people wanted them now so I could find parts in the boneyard cheap like the good ol' days.Now even the rustiest junker is getting $$.
      At least since they are more popular now the aftermarket is making some parts for them that were never available before.

      You can put coilovers on the front, and the rear will be a 3link.

      No, that car was on Ebay and after I thought I had won the car, suddenly the seller dissappeared. Never heard from him period about purchase.

      No, I just bought a 70 chevelle for the next full on project. One day I will find a good 66 or 67 but no hurry.
      Thanks though, and let me know if you find one.
