I ended up finding a quarter panel extension at mopar nats. Thank you.

1968 roadrunner. I'm looking for some parts. Right side quarter panel extension. Left and right wing window frames. Left and right side window regulator. Upper control arms both. Rear window stainless trim. I'm located 35 miles west of Chicago. Thanks.

Both need to be torn down and inspected. Both are in question. The 440 was casted on my birthday 9 years prior so I could keep that and just build the 383. Thanks for your suggestions.

I get it. I'm just not sure of what's going to steel possible money from us or generate more in the long run. Personally I hate having a nice car around after it's built. Lots of stress in trying to keep it nice. I like building cars and moving on to the next project after I've had a little time...

just for the sake of asking the question, would having a 426 hemi in a non hemi car up the value enough to validate the cost? Bump up the sellablility of the car? How would you rate the boner factor to seeing a hemi in a car. Not worth it or if you have the budget worth it. Just seeing what...

Well I have a 68 roadrunner that's a 383 3 spd auto car with Dana 60 and sure grip 3.23 gears. when I bought the car it came with a complete 440 in it and he also gave me a 383. Both motors are 1968 casted blocks. Would you rebuild the 383 because that's what's supposed to be there or go with...

I'm just an enthusiast that likes all aspects of auto repair. I've worked on cars and trucks for 24 years and have done paint and body work for 20 years.
