Well it looks like next week my 69 Roadrunner will be coming HOME. I have been fortunate to be able to work side by side with Len Forrest on some parts of the assembly !! I Have Learned A Lot !! I am sure of one thing I will Never ever go into the Auto Restoration Business !!!!!! And will never restore a car again !! Don't get me wrong the RR is looking Great !!!! I still have some assembly work when she comes home, Nothing I can't handle, or have done before on this car. It Has been a Labor of love for my Car for sure!!!! . The Pay Day will be when I turn that key and hear that HP440 Start I shift it into 1st gear and take it for its first drive with the Love of my life !!! :biggrin-new:

I understand completely, they were fast, got loose easy if you had a both "Big Boss 60's" spinning and not the best brakes so a lot of the Road Runners we had as kids got beat up. We don't have to talk about rust. Loved the 67 440 I had in a 68 RR 4spd

Are you replacing any of the glass? I am at the point of do I or not, had a piece break on me (Tinted).....Not sure if the reproduction stuff is any good. Hate to buy a replacement quarter glass and find the tint is different.

 

[TOMRR]

OH, It will be flat bedded home !!!! and only live 3 miles from where the work was down

 

[TOMRR]

Yes, Replaced the windshield and the back window The rest of the glass was in very good shape, Had to buy a new windshield Broke the one that was in car putting it back in What PITA !!! I have a Glass Guy coming to the shop Monday Has been putting in classic glass for over 30 years !!

If you only need one piece of glass, I would look for an original piece. The repo tinted glass looks bad when you look at it from an angle. It looks very wavy and I would avoid it if possible.:cents:
