My 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner Restoration

Hey guys, This is my photos of my restoration of my Roadrunner. I will update this periodically as I get to work on it and as I remember to take pictures (Haha!). Thanks!

About this Mopar:

Thanks for taking a look at my photo garage featuring my restoration of my Roadrunner!

Here is the stats as I know it..

VIN - RM23N0110766

It is missing the fender tag, but the vin is stamped in several spots on the car that I have found.

The quarters and outer wheel houses have been replaced prior to my ownership (not very well - badly done; will replace)

It is an original 383, auto console, bucket seat car, and the original paint color is EF8 Ivy Green Metallic.

I apparently was also sold a 727 for this project - as it turns out - it is the original 727 transmission! It has the same VIN stamped on it!

**UPDATE**
Engine bay primed..

My plan:

Mostly stock in appearance with a few custom touches. I hope you guys enjoy this build.

Cleaned up and blasted intake - will clear with 1k clear in very near future. Pics posted.​
9/2/17
Cleaned up rusty 440 oil pan I got for $5.​
5/26/18
Cut out the front radiator core support, straightened front inner fender metal and mocked up the new core replacement.​
6/11/20
Determined passenger inner fender metal was too damaged; cut out & replacement panel installed.​
9/02/20 to 10/20/20
FINALLY got my floor pan put in along with the passenger rear foot well pan. Had to also get a patch for the rear, that was also installed. Pics may appear out of order..​
10/31/20
Floor pan cleaned up; Weather co-operated, so I was able to get the epoxy down to seal the floor for the winter. (Included a couple more pictures from earlier as well pre-clean up.)​
3/2/21 to 3/9/21
Core support all mocked up, prepped, and welded in.​
3/16/21
Engine bay primed with epoxy.

Gotta love the availability of replacement sheet metal for our rides. I know it's rarely a perfect replacement but with some fitting and time you'll have the integrity, strength and safety back in the ole girl for years to come... good job brother :thumbsup:

Thank you for the support!
 
Keep up the good work! I'm just waiting on my shoulder to heal, I had to have rotator cuff surgery. I've been working on the steering column and instrument cluster.
