    New Guy!

    The one caveat of a metallic is it has to be uniform when sprayed. Much more difficult than a solid color in that regard. And since I drive my cars, chips and dings can be touched up on a solid and blended much better than a metallic. I can touch up metallic chip but I've aways been able to see...

    1969 RR back seat

    IDK, I was able to get the seat loops over the tabs with out changing the angle of the tab. If the back seat has to come in and out a couple of time seem like would be better to try that first before bending the metal. I had to take my seat back out once already because my trunk lock failed...

    1969 RR back seat

    The way some cars were built you are lucky if the lower retainers are even there. I don't think you are supposed to have to "bend" anything. I don't know if my driver's side isn't exactly in the correct place. I got it to work though. I think the idea is you muscle it on and it "captures" the...

    New Guy!

    They make cars in different colors for a reasonr. From my experience with PPG if you go in and ask for a single stage color by paint code be ready for it to not be exactly like the original formulation color. (Omni) I would imagine that is true across the paint lines. Even the higher lines...

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

    I put a Edelbrock 650 AVS2 on a 383 4 speed and it works great. There is a lot of buzz about this carb on the internet. Improved technology over the old AVS and made in USA. I bought a 500 CFM for a 318. Haven't put it on yet but looking forward to ditching the junk yard Q jets that I've...

    69 numbers matching looking to modify?

    Keep it the original color. 1. COMPLETE Color changes are hard and nothing wrong with green. Your new green won't exactly match the original paint anyway. (I've learned from experience painting cars) Go with one you can live with. It will be great and stand out from the pack. 2 Change it to...

    Window weather installation

    Need more info. What specific seals Door seals at drip rail? Door glass seals? Post cars quarter seals might be a little different. Vent windows? Sounds like a major thing then. I didn't have to change mine but I'm thinking disassemble is necessary for that.

    RESTO RESCUE ROAD RUNNER: FAILED! For Now.

    I like the color. From the screen color, wish mine looked more that shade. What's odd is this family of colors shows so different in different lightings. MM1 Turbine Bronze is like that to. Dead until the sun hits it. Then it pops.

    Looks accurate as to true colors. On my screen anyway.

    Roadrunner Horn

    Five year old thread, but the most current thread on the subject. For reference only then. I've got good color vision. Pictures are never accurate. Two Spartan horns. Two very different colors. Testers 1154 is close one but the original is different. (At least in bottle form. It can be found...

    383 just shut down while driving.

    It's either spark or fuel, right? All my ideas will cost you money. But will give peace of mind and could save in the long run. Years ago I was stranded when a well known capacitive discharge system failed on me. Tow home. I won't name it because people will say "I've never had trouble blah blah...

    carburetor

    There is a lot of buzz about the AVS2 , I bought one and am happy with it. First time I've ever had a choke that actually seems to work too. (Electric) I'm resisting the urge to by another one for another car.

    Hello Everyone. My Dad Was The Original Owner Of This 1968 Beauty

    Money is replaceable. Memories and people are not. These cars are repositories of memories. I was fortunate to marry a friend who understands sentiment. Sure, she is very frugal as well and says things about money, but she understands. It's all about balance.

    Last Of The REAL Road Runners.

    When my wife and I were young and poor we got a cream puff 75 Charger from my sister. With a 360. We sold it sometime in the 90s to a younger, poorer couple. I really wish I had that car back in good condition. NICE cars. Junior came home from the hospital in the Charger. That's the bag on...
