    Welcome! Great looking car but why would someone paint a car that was Q5 from the factory green? Obviously someone liked the green better but man I LOVE the Seafoam Turquoise. https://www.autocolorlibrary.com/pages/1969-Plymouth.html#modal-close

    `70 road runner - finally getting to the restoration!

    One step forward four steps backwards. I got the passenger door and fender aligned pretty well. I got the air grabber hood out of the shed to test fit it to the fenders and when I was rinsing the dust off it I noticed a patch of filler hiding under the paint. The hood is not original to the car...

    `70 road runner - finally getting to the restoration!

    AAR hood is ready for test fitting and then primer but I'll need some help to do that so back on the road runner. I got the drivers door and fender gaps good so I can fine tune the fender edge and start the filler work. Passenger door is on and quarter gap is good but I need to get the...

    1969 Roadrunner Full Restoration

    Spraying epoxy primer is not difficult but you will need some basic equipment - compressor putting out enough cfm for your gun, HVLP require more than the old siphon feed guns, HVLP have less overspray so use less material but siphon feeds work just fine and I still use my old ones sometimes...

    Original Ammeters

    VRD - "I have seen cars have this happen to them because they don't want to do basic maintenance and inspections" As mentioned most electrical issues are caused by overloading, old brittle wiring or dirty, corroded connections NOT due to any bad engineering or design of the system and you even...

    `70 road runner - finally getting to the restoration!

    Not much progress lately as I've been busy with wife, kids, house etc. but even when I have had some free time lack of motivation has kicked in. I think it is a combination of a long, cold, snowy winter and being in the seemingly never ending bodywork stage that has me a bit beat up both...

    Like I Need Another Project

    Nice, I love the `71-72s, that is a good combo with the FC7 and 340.

    1969 Roadrunner Full Restoration

    Just jack it up a smidge under the rear frame rails as close as you can get to where the rear axle would be so there is weight on there. I had mine on the rotisserie but unbolted the rear and set it on jack stands when I did the trunk floor and quarters.

    `70 road runner - finally getting to the restoration!

    Before I do the filler work on the fenders I need to hang the doors back on so I can check the lines and fine tune so I sprayed some In-Violet on the hinges and jambs.

    If you are going to do any reinforcing do it BEFORE you mount it on the rotisserie, I`d put it on jack stands as close o where the wheels would be as possible to simulate where the weight will be when it`s back on the ground.

    1969 Roadrunner Full Restoration

    Nice work. I mounted my road runner on the rotisserie without any bracing but except for trunk floor it had a very solid unibody structure and it is a post car so I felt it wasn`t needed. I did place jack stands under the car when I did the trunk floor, quarters and passenger floor to support...
