Default 1968 satellite convertible

Just subscribed here and thought I'd share a pic of my 68 satellite convertible.
Bought it last year. It has a 318 4 bbl.
Just installed a crane came, weiand intake man., dynomax headers & flowmasters.
Also just found out my upper control arms are shot. Guess thats my next project. Any info. on where to start looking for upper control arms, or any other parts for my car would be appreciated.

What is wrong with your upper control arms?
If it is just the bushings and ball joint they can be replaced.
If the threds for the ball joint are striped out, a friend of mine may have an extra set of upper control arms.

You may want to rebuild the entire suspension depending on it's condition. I just helped replace the bushings in my friends car, and found that the worn out strut rod bushings caused the lower control arm bushing to really wear out by allowing the lower control arm to move forward and back under acceleration/decelleration.
The upper conrtol arm bushings were worn out also, but I was suprised at how bad the lower control arm bushing was.

If it is the arms, a swap meet would be good to do.
PST has good parts for a rebuild.
Look on the back of the MoPar mags.
