BODYWORK/TRIM

Completed in early 2012 this super clean curve carver is the direct result of what happens when a seasoned fabricator has an uncompromised vision major dedication and access to a 6-figure bank account. See the cars creator already owned a killer Charger that was buff enough to pull down sub 10-second passes on an NHRA-sanctioned drag strip so he wanted to build a second car that was a bit milder and quite different. Enter this neon Plymouth a project which quickly escalated from the restoration of a fun cruiser into the creation of an outrageous drivers car. For starters this newly dubbed (S)atellite (T)ouring e(X)tremes mostly rust-free body was stripped and mounted to a custom rotisserie that ensured its floors would turn out every bit as nice as its vertical panels. Once that body was completely prepped two inches of steel was welded to its rockers to simultaneously hide Ma MoPars hasty pinch welds and provide a mean buckled down stance. When those rockers were fully integrated Matrix rose sealer was applied between hours of block sanding and eventually coated in a thick layer of Matrix epoxy primer. When that primer cured one-off Matrix Screamer Yellow paint which had been mixed six times over was stacked six coats deep under matte black war paint and modern HEMI 6.1L call-outs. And finally nine coats of Matrix clear were followed by days of wet sanding and hours of tedious buffing. The result is one awesome Plymouth that over the course of 2.5 years was mostly completed by one dedicated gearhead in his own personal shop.

Theres just something about a broad shouldered Plymouth that appeals to pretty much everyone with a pulse. Maybe its their wow factor. Maybe its the sense of strength they convey. Or maybe its simply the surface development of their massive panels. Whatever the case may be this custom Satellite carries all that classic Chrysler charm under a whole slew of details that highlight a clean and modern appearance. At the front of the cars mirror-like body a prominent 72 Road Runner grille hangs a colorful Road Runner mug between modern driving lights bright halogen headlamps a tucked 71 Road Runner bumper and a custom-fabricated chin spoiler. Above that grille a custom Plymouth STX emblem and blacked out lanyards lead the eye to dark-tint glass
