ya thats route i think im going...ive herd alot of good things about amds panels and there the best...i can get all the pans for 700-800 bucks...its well worth it

Josh,for what it's worth go with the AMD panels.The ones i bought from auto body specialty,the half floor pans did not match up to the rest of the car inside,but that will be another thread for me to put up in the future.

thanks...i cant wait to put them on car...if u have anything else i could use let me know...i got a long list..lol...from trim to drivetrain

 

[joshb1983]

been doing some lil things to belvedere...i got some roadrunner taillights and installed them and painted the tail panel black to match..then i put small pin stripe around black to make the lines clean and crisp...its my first time doing anything like this...overall i think it turned out good and makes car look alot better..i did alot of prep work and taped it off and covered back of car good and sanded the panel..i repainted the front grill also..these lil changes really make a difference...also took the big ball hitch off...i wanna paint the grey on wheels black to go with rest of car..or sell wheels and buy some chrome ones..

Lookin Good

 

[Basket case]

looks good! I like the chjanges on the tailpanel. IMHO...sell those wheels and get some 15s. Slots, Cragars, nice Old School, even some Rallyes or Magnums.

 

[moparstuart]

great work man and those tail lamps are awesome:grin::grin::grin::grin:

 

[Propwash]

Gotta say....those tail lights and panel give the car a bit of a mischievous look. Looks good.

[moparstuart]

yup go with ralley wheels they look great on 70 Road runners


or maybe some keystone classics

 

[joshb1983]

im having trouble with tailight sockets...they seem a lil to long for the roadrunner tailights and the bulb hits the lenses and wont lock in...mine were the stock belvedere sockets...what would be best way to fix? i looked for shorter bulbs but not sure which ones to get...or maby new sockets...autozone has the 1157 socket but not sure if its the same as mine or not.from what i seen mine are 1157 but i think theres a few kinds of 1157s plymouth had..anyone ever had this issue? if so whats best fix?

did you try to pop the socket in without the bulb? as far as I know, they all take the 1157.
