1970 Road Runner restoration

AMD all the way they fit the best out of any aftermarket panel. still need fitment but i was pleased with the quality.

Nice looking job. AMD probably is the best, but you wouldn't be speaking quite so highly of them if this was a Charger.
 
I have heard that the charger pieces aren't quite as easy to work with. we actually had a bit of a problem with the quarter panels they were 3/16 of an inch too long in the front. had to fix that but nothing that my buddy who has been doing it for 45 years couldn't fix.
 
more shots

I must have gotten early production quarters for my 69 RR. My body guy said one side was longer than the other. Your project looks great. Keep up the good work.

Painted the birds on!?!?! Wow, they look fantastic. He must be a great artist.

Your Road Runner is looking fantastic. Congratulations. I am seriously envious because I haven't started on my 70 Road Runner yet. I will certainly be checking out the results as you move along.

Sweet! :VB toast:
 
looking very good :headbang:
 
If you look closely at a decal they have the small Warner Brothers script on them. The painted birds I have do not.
