69 Project PROGRESS!

[Smokngun]

Well, the RR is in a real body shop, getting some quality attention by a fellow MoPar guy that gives a damn. Up on the rotisserie, getting full 1/4's, new fenders, new front floor, subframe connectors, one front wheel house, both rear wheel houses (inner and outers), the list of AMD sheet metal is staggering and so is the bill. But I'm saving a Roadrunner!

Yep you have put a lot of work into yours. Think we are just about even on the amount of sheet metal replaced. Looking good Russ. Yea an I thought my car needed work.

 

[Goon]

cant wait to see when finished. Gotta cruise up to Gus's in East Troy

Like Hannibal used to say " I love it when a plan comes together " looks good man especially the copper color it's going to make that white pop!

My Question is when will it be done. Russ.

 

[69hemibeep]

Question. Are you painting the bottom of the car as you go or did someone paint it in the past?

 

[Basketcase]

yes Bobby...Chrysler made a habit of painting the bottom in '69.....

yes Bobby...Chrysler made a habit of painting the bottom in '69.....

Just wondering if someone went to the trouble of painting the bottom with all the rusty parts still in it.

 

[Basketcase]

just at Bubba's used cars...

 

[SgtLee511]

Is that a bronze color or burnt orange

 

[Smokngun]

Hey, sorry for abandoning this post guys! Current location is home with all sheet metal and paint done. Now working on interior, dash, glass, etc. Building a motor over the winter, and hopefully dropping it in in the spring.

69HemiBeep: The previous owner was trying to "patch it up" and shot the underside before I bought it.

SgtLee511: The original color is T5 Bronze Fire Poly. Interior metal is the darker T7 Saddle Bronze Poly.

Russ: Hoping to have it on the road next summer. probably not in time for the Nats, but it will be there for it's 50th Birthday!

Goon: It will be at Gus's so often they'll get sick of seeing it!
