68 Road Runner restoration

Here’s some update pictures of the bird!!!. Rear axle housing and suspension installed, Rear glass installed. Headliner is in what a PITA!!!! Rear seat and seatbelts in back seat side panels in armrests installed !!!! Thanks for looking

I’ve been very fortunate to get quite some time to work on the bird lately. Fuel system from back to front installed, electric fuel pump and sending unit wiring ran to fire wall, all the glass is in the doors and operational ,front door panels installed and I’ve started on the valve train for the engine and a little painting on some engine parts. As usual waiting on more parts. If anyone has a b body with the deluxe interior I sure would like to see some pictures of it all together. Ive been waiting 3 months for my headliner to be made. It’s holding up progress in the interior Thanks for looking!!!

Well things have been progressing. Got all the glass in the doors, fuel system is plumed from the back to the front. Working on door panels and a lot of miscellaneous items! I must say that it’s a chore to remember where one put all the items that I took off 5 years ago and where they go!! Thanks for following my journey

It’s starting to look like a car again. Lesson learned if you are going to paint your car yourself buy 2 gallons of paint mixed the same way! I did not and had a devil of a time getting the paint to match. Thankfully the guys down at the PPG paint store were able to help. First picture is of the paint that I had bought after the first gallon was used up!! The rest is with the corrected paint. Thanks for looking

Installed my first vinyl top today! It’s starting to look like a car again

Well after a repaint I was able to cut and buff the body. It’s came along way since 2019

Got both doors on with door handles on. It’s been a long time since they were installed

Painted the quarters today. I think it looks pretty good

Got some paint on some stuff today

So I have been doing bodywork for a while now and got the engine bac from the machine shop. It turned out to be a 436 stroker with a .040 bore.here’s a few pics for your viewing pleasure

Been working on the body work hope to paint it in the spring. The short block is done stroked it to a 434

So after a few months,I have finally got to work on the Road Runner. Here’s a few pictures. Started to do bodywork on the passenger door and hopefully finished up the rear quarters where I welded the skins on. Applied the Eastwood opti flow roll on epoxy primer. I recommend it if you have no way to spray primer on. Thanks for looking.

Here’s some pictures of the progress on the road runner. Things will probably slow down for a while as I recently lost my job. But I will continue with the restoration as best as possible. Got some more yellow paint on and replaced the 22in. Radiator support with one for a 26 in radiator. Also primed the engine compartment and drivers side quarter panel with Eastwood,s roll on epoxy primer. It works pretty good. It’s a lot thinner than I expected . Thanks for looking . Have a great 4 th of July
