In today's episode of The Questionable Garage, we're hitting a massive milestone in the restoration of my dream muscle car, a 1970 Plymouth Sport Satellite. This journey has been full of surprises, and today, we’re diving into the heart of what kickstarted this entire rebuild—the rear glass surround.

This section of the car was completely rusted away, and it’s what set me on this path to transform a nightmare into my forever car. The challenge is no small feat—working with a piece that's virtually disintegrated means every measurement has to be spot-on. There's no room for error as I carefully reconstruct the rear glass surround from AMD parts and some custom patches, ensuring it not only fits perfectly but also maintains the car’s structural integrity.

Join me as I navigate through the intricate process of measuring, cutting, and fitting this crucial area of the car. Watch the highs and lows, the frustration and triumph, as we bring this classic beauty one step closer to hitting the road again. If you’re into classic car restoration, metalwork, or just love seeing a dream come to life piece by piece, this episode is for you. By the end you might just learn the same thing I did, Anyone can do it!

Jarrod deserves more subs. Just for the MCM lolz. Greetings from Queensland, Australia!

[rocketsurgeon]

How did I NOT catch that little shout out to MCM!? Geeze! Where does the rust go? IN THE BIN!

[krazy]

I don't know if it is possible for us to get bored watching any of your videos, Jared. Keep 'em coming!

[billh]

I do believe of those two cutouts in your package tray, the smaller"square" one is for a rear defroster.

[briandering]

As a Mopar fan, and having reworked a 1/8 mile '73 Charger into a cruiser between 1997-2011 (years of chasing parts) I applaud your selection of a Mopar B-body! The most extensive thing I had to do was replace the passenger side floor pan and redo some crappy bodywork. Had to fabricate my own patch panels and welded them in. Kudos to you for your diligence and sharing the journey. Thanks Jared!

The two different speakers holes on the back deck. One is for a rear speaker. The other is for the rear defroster blower motor. The one on the drivers side.

[Cadillac]

I know in the early 60s it was one rear speaker the other was for rear defrost. Could be something similar with that rear shelf.

[bryanschmidt]

Your exposition is really natural and relaxing to listen to. Glad I found you via the Wizard. I would despair at the condition of this car. Kudos to you for diving into it

15:07 that quote that needs to be on a T-shirt with either a MIG welding head or a lit oxyacetylene torch; it would be an excellent compliment to the Temporary Wiring shirt!

25:19 those who follow Jared on Twitter/X probably saw that someone brought this project to the attention of Mark Worman himself, and the methodical approach Jared is taking on making sure that everything is fitted correctly got the OFFICIAL Graveyard Carz Seal of Approval!

[josephvantreeck]

Nice work Jared. You're stretching out to show us that this degree of repair is do-able by the rest of us, giving us confidence too!

[dan]

Slowly but surely, it’s all coming together! It’s looking pretty sweet!!!!

[tarstarkusz]

Before you start welding up voids, you should try and make sure they are not deliberate. There are drains all through the car. These drains getting clogged with dirt is why these cars are so rusted out today.

[LuisTorres-otdz]

When in doubt fix it with fire 🔥 is a good slogan for a t-shirt
🤣🤣🤣

[rexkean]

This is one of my dream cars as well. Thank you for letting me enjoy, watching you restore this beauty!

[kerrylewis]

Things like this must be a labor of love because this looks tough. Then add extreme heat and humidity to the mix. My hat goes off to you Mr. Pink

[raulpompa]

One hole is for the speaker (just 1) the other hole is for the rear defrost blower motor... But dual speakers with more than 2 watts/rear heater delete is a popular swap

[AGeeksGarage]

Today I learned that you need to go back and remove weld-thru primer in areas you can get to, and use the right primer. Thank you, I thought it was an "all purpose" sort of thing. I will be sure to keep that in mind in future projects. Keep up the great work!

How to restore a mopar buy title and vin tag then order car piece by piece.

One suggestion Jared....

Tape some foam around the ends of those trunk hinges before you scrape your head on them !

Been there, done it, still got the scars.... .. .

I removed the rear sheet metal from my 1965 Mustang today for easier access to the rear and could never have imagined that applying sound-absorbing coating could be so satisfying. Not only does it fulfill a function, it also gets a black surface that looks new. 😁
