Road Runner Nest

I was reading the door panel thread in Questions and answers and thought, hell, it would be a good idea to waste some time mocking up my Satty's interior--which I have stored in my bedroom much to my wife's chagrin. I'm trying to get the floor panels finished and then the dash, then I'll stick the sucker in. Until then. .



It is the best things that I like about the Sattys in 73/74. I have the white Sat Sebring Plus door panels, front and rear, and the bench seats. New white lower door panels, etc.

The pattern on the seat is the 74 wimbledon taken from the 74 Sat Sundance and Roadrunner. Not the red, but the earth tones that came with the Sundance, as shown. I'm putting in either a burnt orange nylon loop carpet, or an emberglow (slightly darker). I'm ditching the Satellite dash insert logo from 74, and putting in the 1967 Satellite emblem shown in it's place. It's a much cooler logo. I'm also going to use that emblem as the rear deck lid emblem, the pillars, and maybe on the bulge hood.

Also. . . if anyone knows where I can get that Sundance wimbledon pattern, I'd sure love to know. . .

i don't think i've seen the sundance pattern reproduced, as usually the cloth insert upholstery uses NOS cloth material. that is going to be an awesome interior. i was thinking about using the 67 emblem for a dash emblem as well, whenever i get to the point of "5 year later" resto

No one has it,they dont make that pattern anymore

Imagine having that interior,and needing it replaced,i have to take mine to someone to see if they can actually mimic it or repair it.

idk i bet you could find a quilt from the 702 or 80s that looks like that i know when i was little we had one that was that pattern on one side and then diamonds on the reverse side

Funny you should say that,i read somewheres that the actuall fabric they used was on couches too.And im dead serious...I read that.

yup...we had a couch just like that, too...as well as a love seat, and my aunt had a BIG sleeper sofa with fabric like that....they wanted you to feel "at home"

actually, hey....i thought legendary made the duster "hang 10" interior and that pattern looks pretty close...i'll hafta investigate

nevermind...that is just some vertical stripes.....i swear i thought i saw something at least similar...

Isnt the same,that fabric was called,i think "Voyager".

Ill tell ya this too.In the 70s the chargers came with a special spring package.That had its own style interior and differences.That idea was transferred to the satellites with a different name.Thats why when sundance owners decode the "A77" it sometimes comes up"Charger Spring Spring",or "Charger Spring Special"

This is the closest i could find on ebay.lol

what is the fabric...like tweed or wool?

you might want to call and talk to these guys... www.originalauto.com ...they say they can get about any fabric offered in cars...say they can get special one-year-only cloths fo specific models...

ebay: 110258894840

not perfect, but looks pretty good...pry not the same material though...i wonder if people can MAKE something like that...like at a local upholstery shop?

Id say its about the same as teh fabrics couches are wrapped in.

I went to that one stores site.ITS SO ANNOYING all they do is talk about themselves.

lol, yeah, but if they get the job done...

is your cloth ripped or brittle, or something? do you actually need to replace it, or could you just deep clean it, and maybe dye the vinyl if it's faded/discolored?

just wonderin
