'71 RR resto project

[rrTor-Red]

Stainless fuel and brake lines. Being on the rotisserie made this task easier

Looking great!

Thanks moparnation! I'm doing the best I can and the car has come a long way from what I started with. I wish it was more of a "pure" car like yours but oh well. I also wish I knew a history or have answers as to what happened to it before my dad bought it after the original owner sold it to the 2nd guy, as in the motor, K, etc.

Awesome job - glad you finally started this journal!

 

[rrTor-Red]

Thanks crahill. It's been in the making and I still have work to do. Hard to work on it while deployed but what I don't get done, I have my friend who is helping out while his car is in the body shop. He calls it "therapy", gives him a chance to get out of the house, and he's very particular so I know he won't just slap it together...lol

I took the original fuel filler neck and sand blasted, painted ready to install on my car.

Bear with me on my pictures here. Some pictures are recent, some aren't for the simple reason of being gone working. Got my car back from the body shop and we put the deck lid on. My car didn't come with a "go wing" or chin spoilers but like them and decided to install a set. Here is the rear wing installed and the chin will have to wait till the fenders are on. The fuel filler neck, new tank is installed in one of the pictures. BTW-does anyone know how to measure for the front chin spoilers?

I spy a nice looking Gtx!

Love that color combo

 

[Robliepse]

Great minds think alike

 

[rrTor-Red]

Looks GOOD Robliepse. Might need some assistance on the front end stuff when I get there.

Original PS pump rebuilt. Cleaned and painted it when I got it back. Before and after

PS gear box before and after. I kept the "natural" look to it by cleaning it and using RPM to protect it. If anyone hasn't used this stuff before, it's pretty good. I'm happy with it.

The front chin spoilers were actually dealer installed. I dont think there is an exact measurement for them; I believe they were "eyeballed" for best placement....

 

[rrTor-Red]

That's what I thought but wasn't sure

Heater box during the resto and installed

The car came with a vinyl top so back on a new one went along with the headliner
