Decided to put together my 70' R.R. as a Rat Muscle project. Haven't decided if I am going to call it the Rum Runner or the Roached Runner yet. Engine and trans will be going in soon.20210313_184128.jpg

Tape it off. Sand it prime it then paint it. It will look more like the rum runner. Most of the body look's straight from the side I see. Well fix it up and drive it.

Nope, driving it as is. Already had stupid offers from some of the locals that want it once running, but I am not in it for the money.

Just thought it would look better with maybe a single stage paint job. But that was my two cent's. Build it and drive it and have fun. :beep:

Engine looks way better than the car. Mild 383 with 484 purple shaft. 2800 converter, 4:88 gears with a spool, 175 shot of NOS, widen steelies with 275 drag radials. Should be a nice sleeper.

It’s charming, I love it. I’d like to see it scaring the good folks down at Woodward this year!

Engine and trans 4:88 with spool have been in. Need to button up the rest of the engine and wire it.
