Hello everyone,

I’m Alex a new member from Rancho Palos Verdes in the Los Angeles area of Southern California. I was referred to this forum by a member of the forbbodiesonly forum. Within the last month I sold my 67 Dart GT and purchased a 69 RR OG 383 that now has a 440. The 69 Roadrunner has always been my dream car but until now I never had the chance to own one.
About my new B body
The good: I got the original #’s matching 383 and A833 currently not installed but I got them. I bought the car from the second owner and still has the black California plates. All mechanical components have been gone through. It has a Bob Lambeck built 440 (I have all the receipts. Holy S%$#T this guy must be a genius based on this receipts). Interior is in good condition no rips or tears.

The bad: rust spots that need immediate attention on the doors, rockers and rear window corner. I’m proficient in mechanical issues but totally clueless when it comes to body work and paint so I was hoping that some of the Southern California members can chime in and recommend a good body shop that can tackle the rust and paint. The car will be a driver so show quality is not in the budget. Thank you.
