74 Roadrunner Restoration

[jamr]

Hey everyone. New member from Kansas and just started the restoration two weeks ago. Tear down has been going well and hope to have the body removed off the frame in a couple of weeks. Been reading all the great posts and plan to tap into expertise as the project continues.

These cars are uni-bodies and don't have a frame to remove from the body. A factory service manual is a great tool. Welcome and keep the pics coming.

Nice car, are you going to keep it the same color??? You don't see that brown very often.

 

[jamr]

Probably going to change the color to silver. Family thinks the current color is p^^p brown.

Silver would be cool, but you could do candy root beer and that would look awesome!

Here is a couple of examples

Hello and welcome. I too am in the process of redoing a 74 Roadrunner. If you have any questions, need a contact or two for parts, etc. Just ask. I also have taken over 500 pics of my car as it was torn down and the whole process so far so if you forget how it goes back together I might be able to point you in right direction lol. There's a lot of great guys on this site and TON of info on here. And I see we are just on the other side of the state line as well. Good luck.

Welcome aboard!! I'm looking forward to seeing more pics and progress , I also agree with idrivemopar that brown would be pretty cool,, and different but I do like those 73-74 cars in silver also ,,,,,, I got an idea!!!! Build it the way you want it! Good luck on your build!

Welcome and nice project! I have a 73 that was originally Tahitian Gold Metallic. In other words brown. But is was actually a really cool color brown. In the sun, it sparkled like gold.

I didn't restore the car to that color because at the time I restored it (late 80's to 1992), I only had options of black or white interior replacement options, and mine was gold/parchment. Now I wouldn't mind restoring it to its original color...

I finished the complete tear down and built a rotisserie to aid in the undercoating removal and sandblasting. Fun Times!

Do you have any idea where I could find wheel opening moldings for a 74 RR? Our shop is restoring one. Almost done but need them moldings. Thanks
