Ok so now that we have the car the correct rake we like, The Road runner needs some prep work. Here it is in the Jig with parts from the charger being test fitted
After much debate we have decided that the entire firewall to the backseat should be replace with charger floor. This will allow all the parts from floor petals , steering wheel to the front seats and floor shifter to work seamlessly in the roadrunner but it will still be a road runner. Not a "skinned car"

Ok so now Craig (mechanic) has the brilliance to be able to envision this whole build. Although I have some minor input, most of the planing design and execution is done by him.
Humm ,,,, hardest part is choosing the paint. I wanted blue but most modern blues have pearl in them, this to me is a fad and to much like big wheeled DUB cars. So I am leaning tward the good old 1970 B5 blue.
Here are test shots of the B5 against the B7. B5 is the lighter one.
Ok so paint is selected... Lets shoot the floor before installing so it will be easier for final paint
Now that is is painted and ready to go we need to remove road runner floor
ok now lets see if it will fit ....

Nice job Craig. Fits perfectly.! In the mean time we need to get gas into the car. The old licence plate filler just won't do. So we need to borrow ideas from the old charger and challenger and put the gas cap on back quarter.
Hows this location?
Oh a picture of the cap was easy, but how are we going to install one? I have an idea. Lets also borrow a real gas inlet from a challenger.
Found a wrecked challenger in N.Y. Although I asked just for the inlet they gave me the whole quarter. LOL.

what do you think so far guys? Hell of a ride so far. We intend on using almost everything from charger right down to the exhaust if possible.
