My 1968 Plymouth Satellite Is Officially ROAD LEGAL For The First Time After Sitting For 45 Years!

[@charlesherrick7400]

As I look into the cleaned out garage...first thought is how remarkable it is that you get all you accomplish in such a small space.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Gotta work with what u got

[@11Quiksilver11]

Anything can happen if you are determined enough.

[@ratz88]

@@DDSpeedShop Curious what the dimensions of your garage are? I'm looking to build one have been playing around with a few ideas to suit the space I have available, home design forums are only so helpful interested to hear from a fellow gearhead. Thanks

Man I got to say that the car is really bad ass. You did an outstanding job on her. Love the old girl.

I'd drive it ! Hemi Orange was a great colour choice for the 440 , Chrome air cleaner , Edelbrock intake and orange valve covers ... looks great . Once again nice work Dan

[@starman7945]

Good for you Dan. Stoked it’s on the road. Enjoy!

Congrats 👏 I know that you have had some trouble with passing them inspection tests but I have to say so far my favorite project that you have done love you guys keep the videos coming 👍

[@glennhales617]

Dude! Congrats... what an accomplishment. You brought another one back to life. I think you are single handedly starting your own "resurrected" car company. I appreciate all the work you do, as I, work on my own cars too. Look forward to the next.....carry on.

Great video and the car came out great 👍. You and Dani are awesome. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!

[@willwilliams6112]

Nice job Dan I'm not a mopar guy but I do like that body style and when Danny was getting in and she walked behind the car as it was idling it sounds really good God bless and stay safe

[@DDSpeedShop]

Yeah its a pretty cool car

[@jamesglenn2006]

They're all big potholes. So true. Like to see/hear you unleash the 440 a good couple times. If it gets much darker it could get a little stabby. 🤣

Awesome! Congratulations Dan!

Glad you got it going, I know mopars are a little different, but they're cool Ya done good.

[@adambassador7727]

Nice work on the Plymouth, Dan and good filming Dani (you're getting good at it!). My vote for hot rod vids is to take it somewhere like buddy's backyard track to put it through the 'tests' from mean acceleration, slalom, etc. Burnouts are not my thing so much (everybody does them) but I get it. I prefer to see and hear how she performs as one puts her through her paces. I think I figured out one of the things that makes your videos very good, Dan. Like VGG, it's personality that makes the diff. You're a good on-camera personality (in addition to car mechanic/restoration dude). You are a good host, Dan!

[@jeffbell9305]

Love the Satellite Dan , Reminds me of my 68 Dodge GTS 383 4 Speed 391 posi gears, even came with a factory scatter shield !

[@adolfstalin5091]

The Plymouth reminds me of Uncle Tony's 67 Charger very similar. A 440 that Uncle Cathy rebuilt. Anyhow my favorite car in his fleet. Congratulations on a great build. I watched the whole series and you should be proud.😊👍👍

[@DDSpeedShop]

Utg has wicked taste in cars haha

[@adolfstalin5091]

The Plymouth you do as well.

[@russpflug1151]

love the Sport Satellite! looks very nice driving around. congrads!

headers, limited slip, trim tail pipes and maybe a stiffer front sway bar to offset the small block t-bars. love this car!

Thanks buddy

Glad you got the satellite safetied Dan. Manitoba needs to be a bit more lenient on older car requirements for sure. One plus for you is your able to fix rust that can be an issue for Manitoba safeties. Is it me, or is the video quality a bit better? Seems a bit higher quality! Nice drive video through Assiniboine park. Ages since we were through there.

[@ninjapumkin]

Open throttle all the way and adjust kick down linkage to just start to activate. Great starting point. Can fine tune after that.

[@deanrayne7302]

Thanks for taking us on your test drive. The last few seconds of the walk around with the guitar music was awesome

Locar offers a braided style kick down linkage they are like 50 dollars or so that way you will have more adjustability.

Mayne down the road

[@danclark3400]

Nice ride. My first car was a 68 Sport, had some wild rides in that thing. It will definitely Dukes of Hazard it.

[@Jethrosgarage]

I understand your issue with the kickdown linkage, as I have a old school 350 swapped square body S10, with a somewhat beefed up 700R4. They you they use a throttle valve cable as they call it which modulates transmission pressure and shift points. And of course since I have an aftermarket intake and a generic q jet carburetor which I don't know what it came off of, I can't ever get the combination of bracket, cable throw and attachment point right. It doesn't help that the aftermarket throttle valve cables are such crap. And to change the cable, I don't have any room with the floor pan to get cable to connect to the arm on the transmission from the top, so I end up having to drop the drive shaft, crossmember, and then of course remove the distributor cap because it's so tight to the firewall and I don't want to break it, to lower the tail of the transmission so I can change the cable 😳 and of course the starter and header collector are really tight on the passenger side as well... Oh well I've been flogging this thing for the last 20 years and it is a hell of a lot of fun having that horsepower in a 3200 lb truck. Rock on guys!

[@FireoftheGreeks]

Great job and the exhaust sounds just right.

[@kevinsuminski7167]

Awesome first drive great to see it running and driving

[@NathansMoparGarage]

It looks good. I'm surprised that kick down linkage fit in there. Those cars came with a 3 piece linkage so it wouldn't hit the firewall. I would modify that top bracket so it pulls straight back on the carb and not down.

[@jayr5331]

Sweet car!! It looks great.

[@rayfunk5659]

Left Winnipeg 15 years ago. Really enjoyed the cruise, picking out landmarks I used to know.

[@cowboychevyschneider]

keep the great work man

[@russupsidedowntopbottom955]

looks good you did a good job bringing it back to life. you look good driving it too. sell all the other cars and keep this one

[@dennisbrown2571]

Wow, great car. "It's Winnipeg, all the bumps are big." :)

[@randallgarrett7961]

Make sure you have a return spring on the TV rod itself to pull it forward or it will shift late at light throttle and should move it back under WOT. Enjoy the world of Mopar, keep up the good work

[@damonbaggs3296]

yea... this car is my favorite on your channel. Good job guys. Keep it coming. Thank you for sharing.

[@stevehei8035]

Nice ride and you should keep it.

[@nomed3271]

the linkage on the manifold has an alinment pin hole , stick a good size nail in the hole to pin the assemle under the car the bell crank also has an an alignment pin hole .. you will have to adjust the linkage to get both pins in. then adjust ball crank to trani, and kick down rod to carb.... this may help...

[@jeremystrickland7826]

Very kool Dan can't wait too see you start on the black widow 57 hope you make it a two door

[@DDSpeedShop]

Yup she's going 2 door

[@lawrenceveinotte]

i wonder if you should paint the underside of the hood, match the rest of the engine bay. the car looks great.

[@papilloncycles3463]

Dan That thing looks clean!

[@DDSpeedShop]

It's growing on me haha

[@egodeathplease]

why don't you put a return spring on the Throttle valve linkage? might make it come back enough so it shifts easier?

[@Ridendrty]

3:55 gears in a suregrip will make a great combo with that 440 you put in her.

[@buffdoc46]

Car has definitely grown on me. Looks like a fun drive

[@study650]

Dan, you've done such a good job on the car. It's awesome.

[@gtocruisn]

Dan, I built a 68 Charger back in High School with a 440 and Torque flight. I lost part of the linkage from the carb to the trans so I test drove the car for a few days without it. I had to rebuild the trans in just a few days. The trans had just been rebuilt! When we showed up at the trans shop again they said that linkage controlled some fluids to the torque converter. Driving with it incorrectly adjusted may fry it too. You are right to be cautious!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Yup. Doesn't like running without it haha

[@youtubefilmvisionary67]

Looking Awesome!!!....the Big Block makes this car !!....Here in Southeast Kansas Temporary Tags are good for 60Days & cost around $10.....

[@timmitzlaff8960]

Great car! I’d be tempted to do the body work, and leave it primer. It’s nice the way it is too.

[@DDSpeedShop]

I love the original paint for now

[@morgansword]

I am really digging the green bean plymouth as a real decent ride and because of how nice it is, tempts me to say may as well fix the right front fender. I really don't mind the dent as much as its just what this car deserves as it has really risen from the dead. I had problems simular on shift linkage and to get by it made sure I could still get full throttle after doing this... a screw that can go through the gap in that kickdown linkage and the screw had some washers to keep that screw where you put in and on the screw was screw, washer, through the linkage and then through another washer and a nut to tighten it up wherever you liked the shift kickdown to be for working the best. I always hated that if you think ford has so many different things that do or don't fit just because, well chrysler had them beat as their automatics just suck even if you have all the right stuff together and on it... before it lets the transmission die, have a shop that does dodge automatics run through all the pressure valves and what not cause it could be some of the most ridiculous things to plug it up or be out of adjustment like the band on the reverse that also works off second gear I think if remember correctly but my memory sucks. I just know I had to go through this a couple of times and then in came a four speed cause I like shift levers coming out of the floor boards anyway. So Dan, paint and fix just that dent and good to go... headliners are overrated

[@michaelguinn5736]
