Chrysler paid Warner Bros $50,000 to use the Roadrunner cartoon character on that horn in 69.

Well, not just the horn, but all the decals on the outside of the car as well.

Got the Quarter windows installed this week and they fit really well. ECS did great on the etching.

Chrysler Engine Patina

Painted the valley pan, water pump housing, intake, etc off engine to get better coverage before painting final coats after assembly.

Great build so far! Love the car, color, and engine combo. Keep up the nice work man!

While checking valve lash realized the push rods were a bit short. Ordered new ones and got everything adjusted out. Almost ready for paint.

Reassembled the Air Grabber system on hood. Luckily the Grabber box itself had never been painted and cleaned up beautifully after a cycle in the wife’s dishwasher

Got the hood turn signals and call out installed. Ready to put the decals on after a little more exact location research.

Dana axle ID decal installed along with the Safety Standards decal.

Building out the dash before install.After all the instrument difficulties with the turn around time as it’s assembled it was worth the wait. Hopefully will be able to get windshield and back glass installed in the next few weeks.
