70 Roadrunner redo

[72golddustermike]

I call it more of a redo than restoration since most of it is going back and fixing stuff right that wasn't done in its first "Restoration" by previous shop. It was a Bare Bones EV2 383 auto on column with hood treatment car.

The day we picked it up.

 

[72golddustermike]

First up was to remove dash and heater along with column

Next up was Drivetrain Removal. Found out K-Member Was ruined

Next the rest of interior came out. The car is not rusty but was hacked up at some point and a 4 speed ran in it. Then the bench replaced with buckets. They did not reinforce for the buckets and ruined the floor.

You are doing a very good job!!!

Boy, you get a lot done in one day!!!

Looks like you are fixing it right, and that's great. The shock crossmember probably broke from someone jacking it way up with air shocks.

Keep up the good work!

Trying to figure out how you got the trunk floor back in.

Nothing like repairing other people’s “repairs”. Good work.

Outstanding! I wish I had the space and knowledge to do that, I'm more of a mechanic. Never did much body work

I'm thinking of getting my heater core reconditioned as well. That looks like a great job they did for you.

what was wrong with the K?

On the passenger side where the strutted mounts looks sucked in to keep its asham cause it has the skid plate on it for the 440 or hemi k member

Very nice car. Looks like an old driver build. You are doing great work on it!

This looks like a real "restoration". Your doing a great job.

Hell, I would have just drove it as it was, before the "redo".
