My dad would never even dignify my first roadrunner by calling it a car. He was not impressed. It was a little too out there for him. He liked olds cutlasses. Didn't bother me, I still fell in love with them. Got him back though, when he had to ride with me up to the Porsche dealer to get a part for his 914. I admit nothing but it might be the time I blew up the fuel computer drag racing volkswagons with it. :adoration:

Well, its been a week since I posted last and here are some updated pics. Interior is all set to go back together and while I was at my job over the weekend, Dad got the door panels installed. Man, they look great! I'm really psyched to get the rest of it done now! Anyway, here are some more pics of the progress.

(Dad wanted to leave the protective film over the mylar to prevent any accidental scratching. This film will be removed once the car is finished!)

pass side door all back together!

freshening up the underside of the trunk lid. paint is still the factory applied paint as well as the factory applied jacking instruction decal! Also notice the edge closed to the camera which would be the rear most part of the trunk lid. Notice the lack of paint as the trunk was in the up position when it was painted causing a lack of paint to get to this rear most part. Also a lack of paint in the void where there was access holes for pot metal trunk finish panel and plymouth name. You can see where some surface rust started and the factory dark gray dip primer was where the exterior color did not get painted.

lots of factory runs! Also notice the bare mental area behind where the trunk latch was. Supposedly they bolted a prop rod / plate to this location to keep the trunk up while painting.

Where did you get the chrome trim that sits on top of the inside door panels... that connect the top of the panel to the door???
