    Not mine but a customer's car :)

    a resurrected 1969 Road Runner being run for the first time in probably 20 years!


    Have a boat load of time into this car - it was a real mess when I got it.  Totally rusty and missing virtually everything.

    John R's 69 Road Runner Alive for the 1st time in 20 year!

    Nice work Gary.

    Maybe I should bring my 70 Challenger to your shop. It needs a lot of work too.

    Did you get the engine squared away?  This guy had to bring his back to the machine shop with multiple problems as well. Luckily, he had it dyno'd before it was brought to me for installation and they found the issues.  Is building Mopar engines that hard?  Believe me, I am not letting this car leave until it is 100% done to both of our satisfaction.

    Saturday:

    Wet sanded some imperfection areas around the door.
    i.e: Striker area paint was messed up from adjustments.
    Door edges where whiskers meet and a couple tiny runs.
    Lower body area just under the rocker panel painter missed re-painted also.

    Painted them on saturday afternoon. came out great. 

    Sunday:
    Started wet sanding my top of the door trims using Dawn and warm water. 
    Still at the 300 grit stage. When they're ready, it should be about 75 bucks to re-anodize.
    They're really in good shape so I want to re-use them.

    Putting the booster and the master cylinder on and maybe route some brake lines.

    Other than that, pull the dash frame for paint.  :jumping:

    A little sample of what I have been up to, I took a weeks vacation, to start the major transformation of my car.

    What it looked like to start with.
