Under Construction Details

Roger “Dodger“ writes: My Plymouth “Sportlite” is a mating of a 1965 Plymouth Satellite with a 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury
front end.

The paint I used was not a factory color. I went to the paint store and had them mix it as their interpretation of a shinny new penny! The front end was a direct bolt on, all body lines where they meet are the same, and to top it all off, the hood is from a 1964 Plymouth. The only real change and fabrication was that the bumper had to have about 2 inches of spacer on it.

1963/1965 Plymouth Satellite engine, under construction: paint The Max Wedge engine came out at 9.9 to 1 compression and seems to run just fine on pump gas. I will of course bump the octane a bit at the track, as well as give it a couple more degrees on the timing!
