I don`t have any hard deadline for being done but I ain`t getting any younger and want to enjoy it soon, at least I do have my Barracuda to drive. I do want it at least painted by this fall which should be a very realisitc goal.

Bought in 1982 for $1000, still driving it.

My `72 Barracuda

`74 road runner

Ya, I`ve been thru this before, done paint and body on a few cars and a major body work / full restoration on my very rusty Barracuda so can see the end product but know it`s a long way to get there and I need to just keep at it.

Welcome! Are you on Facebook as there are a number of pages that might help you find info on your car? Lost Muscle Cars is a popular one but there are other pages and groups as well.

Passenger side fender mostly stripped, some filler but not nearly as bad as the drivers side.

Ya :rolleyes: I`m starting to lose motivation but I need to keep plugging away at it. Once I get the fenders, trunk lid and hood done and in epoxy primer I get to spray the high build and spend many more hours blocking the whole car out.

Blizzard outside yesterday but work continues on fenders.

Previous hack work, looks like they torched out a section of inner reinforcement for access to bang out a dent on the passenger fender. I guess the positive is they didn't drill holes for a dent puller.

Lots of stud welding and pulling.

Welcome, nice `vert!

Good news is they are not rusty but had some filler I dug out and will have to spend some time straightening with the stud gun, hammer and dolly.

Ok so had a major fiasco with my garage heater and ended up replacing it. That cost put a serious dent in the budget so no buying road runner stuff for a while but work can still continue. I finished straightening the trunk lid edges but waiting for decent enough weather to blast some small...

There were many calling this a fake/made up vin tag but the factory mistake in typing is a much more plausible explanation. The only thing I disagree with is that there are plenty of guys who would have known there were no Hemi cars built at LA even if they had installed the reinforcements.

3M strip caulk - used between panels like fender to inner fender and other places luke the quarter extensions and pretty sure it's very similar to what the factory used.

Strip/rope caulk?

`69 had three engine options - 383, Hemi or mid-year intro 440-6. The 340 was not available until `71 and continued to `73, in `74 the 360 replaced the 340.

Depends on the model, options etc. and as Rapid said it depends on how much of the car is original vs being restored. You said it`s a 383 car all original - do you mean an original survivor car or needs resto, colors and options might also matter as it would have less effect on price on a less...

That one above is definitely not my taste but s long as the owner likes it that`s all that matters and how someone spends their money is their choice. It is great to hear you drive your road runner, IMO nothing worse than a cool, fast muscle car that only sees a garage, trailer and show field.
