Another Introduction

Been lurking around for a while, finally decided to join in the fun. I currently own a 66 Charger that my parents bought new and a 74 Satellite Sebring Plus that is in need of complete overhaul. I owned a 74 Road Runner for 15 years, but that was 20 years ago. Came across the Satellite for the right price so, here I am. The plan is to paint it black with copper stripes, drop in a 1970 440 w/ auto trans, as well as doing the interior. Basically going to clone it into a RR/GTX. As you can see from the pics it is going to need a lot of help.

Well after 5 years I am back. There are some changes to the original plan. I traded the 440 for a 2003 5.7 with auto from a truck. I also bought a pair of 2010 Challenger front seats. Final got the car to the house and have started the tear down. During this process I have discovered that the floor boards are not to bad except for the area under the rear seat. Anyone know a source for the floor pans under the seats? The rest of the car is surface rust, some areas worst that others but workable.
Some of the parts I am looking for:
Steering Column, floor shift and power steering
Passenger front fender ( mine is a little more rusty that i would like )
Rear deck lid. (this one is rusted at the bottom edge)
If anybody has any of the above please let me know,
Thanks, Darren

Looks like someone is more than elbow deep into their project. I would advertise your parts request over on For B Bodies only and Moparts if you have not done that already. Good luck with your resto!
