    Another NEW guy!! Starting my project

    Welcome! How you strip the underside depends on how rusty it is, nice wasn`t too bad except the trunk floor which I replaced so I did it all by hand and then used a rust encapsulator. Hindsight being 20/20 I wish I had the whole shell sandblasted but it wasn`t feasible at the time...

    1969 Roadrunner Full Restoration

    The unibody is still pretty strong without the floor pan in place as long as the transmission crossmember is in good shape. I transported mine on a rotisserie when I moved without any bracing but my floor pan was in place and pretty solid. I would just add a couple braces in the door jamb area...

    1969 Roadrunner Full Restoration

    This is the can opener type I use but you have to be careful as the lower b grabber part is not very long and can bend the trim if you are not carefull. I should break out the metal scraps and welder and make a better tool that grabs a longer section, wouldn`t be difficult to make...

    1969 Roadrunner Full Restoration

    There are various trim removal tools but the drip rail one is PITA to remove without bending or twisting - patience is the key so just go slowly a little at a time. I have actually used an old can opener wrapped with some tape that works good but just saw this tool when I googled it - might work...

    Can the ride height be adjusted up on the front?

    I was a look back in the day but I, like most, prefer higher in the rear.

    Can the ride height be adjusted up on the front?

    Nice looking v-code runner but I agree the front needs to be dropped a few inches.

    1969 Roadrunner Full Restoration

    PB Blaster or whatever your favorite penetrating fluid is, the trick is to keep spraying it for 3-4 days or better to submerse it if you can.

    `70 road runner - finally getting to the restoration!

    Hopefully last skim coat of mud, once I sand it smooth I can get the upper cowl in epoxy. Next is to finish work on front wheel wells and engine bay.

    `70 road runner - finally getting to the restoration!

    Cowl work continues, it was caved in slightly so needed to be pulled up a bit on both sides and along the vents. On the sides I used my stud gun but made a tool to fit in between the vent slots to pull up the middle and it worked nicely.

    Decode a 69 roadrunner

    Extremely tough to read anything on that tag, try flipping it over and reading it from the back. There are a few decoding tools on different websites, have you looked for a broadcast sheet yet? https://www.stockmopar.com/mopar-fender-tag-decoder.php

    1969 RR back seat

    Maybe a case of the sound deadoning and the seat covers not leaving enough room, once the tabs are bent over the slots the rear seat back should stay in place. It looks like one side of the bottom seat has vinyl along the back edge and the other side has fabric?

    What wrong with this picture?

    Leave it to Wyle to be driving in a lesser Dodge B-body than the much cooler road runner. :p

    New Guy!

    I love the High Impact colors but love the other colors as well -Burnt Orange, dark greens etc. Matching any old color is a challenge due to type of paint has changed from lacquer and enamels to urethanes so have the toners that are used to mix them. I tried a few lesser known brands of paint...

    Time for New vs. Rebuilding Carburetor for '71 road runner 383 4 Speed - Is My Carter AVS 4966S The Best Choice?

    Original is always better IMO as most new ones are probably made overseas somewhere with cheaper parts and materials plus no mods needed depending on which new carb you bought - fuel line, adapters etc., I would get it rebuilt.
